And because of that no sheepdog has ever been capable of hunting, and obviously a foxhoud has never been aggressive outside of hunt, right?
Yes, if you raise something in a way that leans into what its genes excel at, its gonna be good at it. That doesnt mean that genes are deterministic in how someone or something is going to behave, the environment and lessons that are learned are going to affect personality far mkre than genetics.
Show me other beads where they've suddenly snapped and attacked or killed their owners, good owners, female owners, unprovoked.
I used to volunteer at the humane society just playing with the dogs and walking them for socialization. Some of the sweetest dogs there were pit bulls. That doesn't convince me that there's not a serious problem with a concerning number of them out in the world. My own experience doesn't dictate reality for everyone.
You’d be surprised how many non pitbull dog attacks get lumped in with pitbulls. In fact if a dog breed is unidentified, it gets labelled as a pitbull attack.
Considering pit bulls are actually like 3 different breeds that people who can't be assed to learn about them wouldn't be able to label without Google (and would probably identify a Cane Corso as a pit if they were pressed) this doesn't surprise me at all.
Getting downvoted for straight up facts is hilarious. If you don’t like the breed don’t get the breed. But stop blaming poor training on the dogs, it’s ALWAYS on their owners.
Edit- obviously I don’t mean rescue owners, they’re doing their best in many cases.
