I live in the heart of dog/cock fighting territory. Its horrible here. I have not ever seen a nice pit ever. They just look at you and want to go at you because the PEOPLE who buy them want to fight them and they put heavy chains on them and taunt them and its just bad. They steal your dogs for training theirs to fight, our dogs are not safe around here and they dump the bodies of the dead or wounded wherever they want to. Black labs here are nasty and vicious, same for Yellow labs and most of the other breeds.
Only thing I tolerate is a dog that actually allows itself to be TRAINED. Believe me some dogs don't like training and I am one of a few that actually will put them down. I ain't putting up with it. Our local humaine society when they get a dog that has shown tendancies to be remotely vicious then they are labeled and put down. No questions asked.
I am right now in the I don't like dogs place in my life. Its all because when I was young I could pet any dog and now days you can't. Its just plain dangerous. I never let anyone pet our dogs. And ours are nice!!!
There are many breeds bred for protection and if you don't train them they get nutso and try to do what they were bred for. Problem is they don't know WHEN to stop! Thats what happens. The worst biter in the the nation was listed as the Golden Retiever based on the Humain society studies.
People don't understand that dogs communicate quite well with each other and it doesn't take long for them to have a pack or become buddies with others who have training or breeding to be aggressive. Like it or not people have bred dogs without thought to how many are being dumped on the side of the road because they are unmanageable, to become feral monsters. Its something to be careful of regardless of breed.
My daughter wants to breed chihuahuas and I told her ok but only one or two litters a year. Because of this problem around her she is going to take applications for owners, just to be safe.
