Most peeps that have pit bulls have them because they want to be tough and look cool. I go to the dog parks all the time and I can tell you that most of the bad incidents revolve around pit bulls being aggressive toward other dogs. The breed is aggressive and dominant by nature. I guess this makes the owners feel secure or tough or something. I also notice that most of the owners are mexicant or black. Its the dog that most ghetto people own. Hell they even spay/neuter them in cokeland for FREE because there's such a big problem with them. And they are the most common dogs found in the shelters. All because these idiots want to be bad ass and tough with their dogs. Lame.

1) I'm not Black or Mexican
2) The breed is pre-disposed to dog aggression NOT human aggression, but a proper owner with responsible training, and socializing the dog from the get go eliminate this. However, pit bulls are not NEARLY as dog aggressive as some breeds, such as POODLES (not miniature ones).
3) I can iterate this enough. Pit Bulls are NOT people aggressive. If they show mild forms of this it is due to neglect/abuse, but can be trained out. if they show severe forms of this, then something is wrong with the dog from severe abuse/neglect and needs to be put down.
4) If you buy a dog to look tough, then indeed you need to give the dog up as that is starting things off irresponsibly.
5) They Spay and Neuter pitbulls for free in ALL of Alameda country, not just Oakland. This is due to the MANY irresponsible owners who just drop the dogs off. A lot of pitbulls in the shelters are also there because they DO NOT SHOW the amount of dog aggression dog fighters are looking for.

Please get your facts straight, as this is the type of ignorance I was pointing out with my initial post.

Thanks,

Mike

But all are white and equally irresponsible with their dogs. So stupidity know no color bounds. But yes like I said this breed is subject to the fads O' the day.

I think backyard breeders of this breed are a very big problem.

Just to note, my Pomeranian is pretty vicious too. Borderline bad-ass.

Not singling you out but you said some thing that I mentioned earlier. So why is it that places neuter/spay pit bulls for free? Why is it that almost all homeowners insurance won't insure if there's a pit bull in the house? Why is it that its hard to find a place to rent if you have a pit? Its because the breed is considered dangerous and trouble. I don't care if who's pit is a good doggy I have friends that have well behaved pits too. But in general pits aren't dogs that just anyone should own. I think there should be a screening process to own one, but that's just unrealistic.

Yes they are very dog aggressive and they are mostly the ones starting fights in the dog parks. I saw this pit attack my friends dog, my friend grabbed the pit by the collar and hammer threw the sucker over the 5 foot fence and out of the dog park. Then the owner of the pit finally gets his ass up off the bench. Lo and behold, it was a mexican trying to act tough. Oh and don't mind all the stuff you hear in the news about some kid being attacked by a pit. I'm sure the kid deserved to get mauled.

I do think that there's a lot of responsible pit owners out there. Anthony Johnson the UFC fighter goes to the same dog park as I do and he is a responsible owner. He even started some kind of pit bull association where they help with their behavior. But the majority of problem pits I see are owned by young mexicans or blacks thinking they are tough by having this "bad ass" pit bull. Then people like my friend throw them over the fence and out of the dog park. If pits in general were such good dogs then there wouldn't be all these behavioral reformation associations, difficulties getting home owners insurance, or problems renting.
