Pitbulls? Don't want to have an incorrect understanding of the breed

Okay, this may be true, but I think the point is that your not gonna bring a puppy home, and it will immediately start trying to kill things.

My neighbors puppy killed a rabbit first day home at 7 weeks. he was a lab.

AKC is a crappy registry anyways. I don't care what they are up to, honestly. I prefer UKC.

ill look them up, thanks!

Okay, this may be true, but I think the point is that your not gonna bring a puppy home, and it will immediately start trying to kill things. You may get a rescue dog that has a bad past and has been trained (whether intentional or just from its past environment) to attack. As long as you don't let it see itself as the alpha, which you must avoid with all dogs, they are wonderful dogs. Even dogs bred for certain things must have specific training for such. When I go take my labs out to play fetch, they walk right by my ducks without a second thought. They are bred to retrieve them. I swear my dogs are half cat though

Ha.

tell me they wont come home and start doing things?

I couldn't find a video of a APBT puppy showing aggressive tendencies, but its there. Its called Genetics

Yeah a rabbit . Hunting small game is like the main point of a dog.

Also, the Alpha theory has been debunked. Dogs don't see you as the Alpha of squat

And on top of that I never ever had to teach my collies to herd, it was instinct for her.

So explain to me how a dog hunting small game, and a dog hunting its sibling is any different? Its genetics, its instincts. A bird dog will kill a small animal, and the APBT will kill its brother.

Okay but attacking something of the same breed or someone part of its "pack" is different.

Also, im curious why you are arguing against the pitbull when your profile picture is one
I don't mean this as like a snotty sassy little comment im just honestly curious

Yeah, my collies who arre herders have never killed anything in their lives?? Killing game is not the point of a dog
