my dogs
doggo
I work at a dog daycare and boarding facility and my boss has a strict breed restriction on a couple breeds including pits and mastiffs. I have to turn people down constantly just because they mentioned their dog has some pit. It sucks because some of the nicest dogs I’ve met have been pit mixes or just purebred.
Given all that, here is my possibly unpopular opinion. Some dogs were literally bred to help us with farming, live stock, etc. While some breeds were bred and specifically chosen to have very dangerous traits. Mastiffs for example were bred and used for war over 2,000 years ago. Even in the 1600s they used mastiffs for bear baiting where you throw a couple dogs into an arena with a bear and see what happens. Pit bulls are known for their extremely powerful jaws and sometimes resort to lockjaw which can be so incredibly scary. If any dog, no matter what breed comes to a point of fight or flight they will fallback on what they know and what they were bred for. I guess what I’m trying to say is that some dogs have the ability to do more damage than others. However I agree with you that with a good owner almost any dog can be very obedient, and with a bad owner any breed can be aggressive.
Ps: your doggo is very cute
Here’s my big thingdoggo
I don’t mind pit bulls, I know a few that have the loveliest souls and a also know one that’s a fuckin psycho. I think it comes down to the same thing as humans, they either have that mind set or not. Doesn’t come down to the breed of the dog or the owner (not completely obviously they do have a big influence) I’m sure if a lot of smaller dogs were bigger and more powerful they would be just as cunty if that was their personality
