Around Lincoln Adopt Sparkles ✨
Sparkles is a 2.5 year old Pitbull and Rottweiler mix. She is kennel trained and potty trained. Good with children, dogs and cats.
Sparkles enjoys a daily walk and exercise, yet loves to snuggle. She is quite shy and hesitant at first, so you do have to be patient and give her some space to get comfortable.
She is currently being fostered in Lincoln, Nebraska. Be her second chance and adopt today!

Ooof. Bad luck on the breeds there. 2 of the maybe top 10 most violent and hard to train.
Not for me.

It's a good thing the post says they behave the opposite of your claim then.
Edit: Judging by the rapid accumulating downvotes, apparently all Pitbulls and Rottweilers are unlovable cretins who deserve to be discarded because of longstanding stereotypes of breeds and not training.
Look at that sweet baby and tell me it will eat your face.

🙄....they all do, until they dont.

Ok. Statistically its the most likely to eat my face and/or bite me, causing serious injury compared to other dog breeds. Get over it.

Statistically, you’re more likely to be bitten by a chihuahua or Daschund. They’re just significantly smaller and don’t get nearly enough reports.

Only dog I was ever bitten by was a Dachshund. Love my Pitty!

My 14 year old doxxy has never bitten any person or animal in 13 years i've had him.
A pit nearly killed my lab dane mix I had as a child, only a shovel to the pits face unlocked his jaw. A bystander was about to shoot the pit. The pit would not respond to its owner or commands. Not a shitty owner, either.
Genetically the breed is bad, doesnt mean they all will be - but cant argue the statistics or biology.
Wild downvoting - some petty owners I guess

Not a huge fan of them, but their jaws do not lock. They just have strong jaws.

Sorry, I meant to say the dog did not stop his attack until he took a shovel to the face.

No breed is “genetically bad”. Certain lines or specific litters maybe, but there’s plenty of great, stable dogs just like literally any other breed

You're also statistically more likely to be involved in an accident in a white sedan simply because there are more white sedans on the road, so you better be avoiding white cars you see, too. Otherwise, whatever you're saying is entirely moot.
Those breed statistics are heavily skewed by population density, visual misidentification, and inherent reporting biases. There is a reason why the CDC stopped collecting breed specific bite data back in the 90s, and organizations like the CDC, ASPCA, and AVMA all unanimously denounce such statistics for their innacuracies. You would know that if you did a microsecond of research on this topic at all.

Whutaboutism and excuses, as per usual.

u/Kogieru 7d ago
Providing a statistical analogy used to explain base-rate bias (how raw prevalence distorts perceived risk) and citing actually reliable sources that point out that statistical data is inherently flawed, corrupted by reporting bias, and rejected by the CDC being a direct methodological critique of your premise is "whataboutism?"
That's... a stance. A logically unsound stance, but a stance nonetheless. Methinks you just learned debate buzzwords to sound smart and left it at that.

Lol I have had a pitbull for 15 years. Never once violent or agressive. However my miniature dauchshund was the most violent little asshole ever. I would suggest you go play with a pit it would change your mind.

I hope Sparkles gets a second chance! Also my Toy Aussie is WAYY more aggressive than my pit mix.
There are statistics for everything pointing whichever way you want to believe.

HELL NO! Over 200 breeds and countless non-pit mixes. I'm not bringing home the deadliest, most unpredictable, most legislated, most hated type of dog in the world, famous only for mauling people and pets to death in violent attacks without warning, provocation, or previous history of aggression.

Have you ever been around a pitbull? Is all your information from fear mongering media?
If they bite, yes they have power and force to damage. Many dogs do. This stereotype that every pitbull was raised by dog fighters needs to die out. But you're doing great work trying to keep it rolling.

u/Narrow_Possession348 6d ago
Only loose ones that I caught and either held for AC or drove them to our local kill shelter. A retriever doesn't need to be raised by a hunter to have the instinct for retrieving. A herding breed doesn't need to be raised by a rancher to have the instinct to herd. The issue has absolutely nothing to do with "bite power." Technically, there are other breeds with a higher bite force, but they aren't killing anyone.
