Any unwarrented human agression is a totally undesireable trait. Could you imagine handlers who fought their dogs using "man eaters?" No way! They had to get in the pit and pull dogs apart... Not to mention they must bathe the other handler's dog before the fight...

With their hands? NO, they use sticks for that. And yes of course they are going to be sweet to their owners, but any ordinary human can waltz by and be attacked, because most of these dogs are kept in homes run by drug users, and used as guard dogs trained to attack people so that they can protect their house from drug trafficing etc.

And before someone goes and throws words that I didn't say into my mouth, I never said I hate pits or that all pits are bad. I think pitbulls are a great breed........IF raised by a responsible owner. It's the same for every dog. When I was a trainer at CrossRoads, a lady there ran a pit rescue, and most of the dogs were very sweet to humans. In fact, my friend got attacked by a Golden Retriever there. So that only shows any breed has the potential of being dangerous.

I was bit by a pitbull once in my face, and he grabbed onto my nose and lip. If he really wanted to he could have mauled me, but he gave a little nip letting me know that he didn't want my face so close to his. I was bathing him.


Another thing you have to consider though is this, most of the dogs that faught have agression towards other dogs! Do you think it is safe to put these dogs back on the street to face being caught and faught again, or worse, getting off leash and killing someone elses pet? I would feel sad for any dog owner that had to be extremely careful any time they walked their dogs outdoors. What if the dog got offleash and bit another dog, or in frustration took it out on someone who "got in the way"?
