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

[Madhouse Pullet]

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

My dogs vet said due to the popularity of labs, he hears more stories of people getting bit by labradors than pitbulls.

While pitbulls might be known for something, I have never heard anyone complain about labs so, I thought it was interesting.

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

Okay how in the world can someone just ask a dog that . Anyone can just go around saying that kind of stuff. Not really a concrete fact.

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

Hate to answer for someone else, but there is a significant difference between being 'realistic about' and 'arguing against'. @chickentrains is simply expressing objective knowledge.

the Alpha dog theory was made up in the 1930's, and you are seriously going to still believe it, even though there are studies and science stating that dogs don't see you as an Alpha?

All sorts of science about dogs and their brains have been conducted. The alpha theory was made up LONG ago, and it was simply made up by some dude who was observing wolves.
