I dont get why people are mad at this post.

Because you made negative blanket statements about the whole breed. Makes you look uninformed. Personal anecdotes do not make or break a particular breed.

My little 8.5 month old terror. I know it's to be expected but goodness, he's a handful right now.

I love boxers..one of the breeds we considered before my blue heeler..but they're just so darn adorable that I didn't think it would scream guard dog if someone got in. I've never met a mean boxer..I love the seresto commercial with the bikini stealing boxer

I dont trust full pits. Wish i could but there are reasons. I love bulldogs, and mastiffs. Everyone i have ever met are gentle and sweet! except for one mastiff who wasnt trained properly. He looks like a american bulldog, but i can see the mastiffs and Staffordshire in him!

Pits are really sweet dogs.
People treat them without trust and they pick up on that, and if they aren't trained properly they get confused.

They sometimes get confused between a child and a small animal, because the child makes movements and sounds more like an animal.

They’re very instinct-driven dogs (“they” being all athletic bulldogs), bred by humans to enjoy the thrashing and the squealing and the blood since the Middle Ages. Some are just born killers, and their raising doesn’t always have anything to do with it. If someone raised a tiger from cubhood and its fine until one day it isn’t, we wouldn’t say the tiger was raised incorrectly, we’d say “well what do you expect, it has instincts that finally kicked in.” So it is with bulldogs, of which American pit bull terriers are a one particularly predatory variety, owing much to the blending of bulldog tenacity with terrier blood lust.

Sometimes a pit will be the best dog ever and never turn. There’s no way to know unless you know the specific lines and the raising.

I only comment further because in my profession I have occasionally had to deal with children being killed by bulldogs. It happens with way more frequency with bulldogs than with other breeds. The notion that its always the owner and not the genetics is a myth that sometimes leads to more attacks, because good intentions can’t correct biology. If people were more educated about the biology and history of bulldogs and pits, people might be more circumspect about bringing the dogs into settings inappropriate for the breeds.
