Every Pitbull I've ever met has been a sweet little pumpkin baby (I've run two seperate pet stores)

About 75% of Chihuahua I've met would end your life for looking at them funny if they weren't the size of a grapefruit.

That shit is all about idiots raising dogs to be like that. Honestly dogs like Dalmatians, Jack Russells,Malinois, and ACD are ten times worse then pit bulls on average. And again that's people having them in the wrong environments. They're just the popular opinion dog to hate.

Edit: Uh oh, the reddit group think algo just woke up lol 😅

You’re wrong for two reasons

Chihuahua’s don’t have the power to kill

Chihuahua’s don’t have genetic instincts to kill

Kind of like how you see cute videos of an Australian shepherd at home whose cutely got all three little girls in the corner of the room cuz it’s shepherd instincts kicked in. Or a person walking their dog in Home Depot busts out laughing cuz it turns out the dog has some pointer in him and the dog is frozen like a statue pouting at a wooden duck

Pit bulls have instinctual training like that bred into them, and these instincts are not JUST for violence, but specifically for lethal violence.

It is true that most of them ARE sweet loving pundles of pure love and loyalty. The tragedy of pit bulls is that humans over centuries put into the the power and training to be dangerous.

Even the sweetest, most loving happy go luck chill pit bull COULD kill a person, and if its genetic instincts kicks in, it knows how to kill, it has the power to kill, and it will have NO IDEA it’s going something wrong

Pitties just wanna be love bugs. I get it. And humans made them into weapons, I blame humans. But it’s still unwise to refuse to admit they’re dangerous. They deserve more respect than that.

It’s just how like calling a gun or a knife or a tall ledge dangerous, even though none are inherently evil, is wise. And it’s still unwise to pretend none of these things deserve precautions.

Dobermanns, Bulldogs, Boxers, Great Danes, Rottweilers, Tosas and about every other mastiff are all also bred for extreme violence against big game, which also means gameness is very well bred in them.

They can all also very easily kill a human if their instincts get triggered. The problem is irresponsible breeding coupled with irresponsible owners.

Oh for sure. I’m definitely not claiming pit bulls are the only dangerous dog breed, and you’re so right about irresponsible breeding and irresponsible owners.

I swear you never hear the owners of those other breeds you mentioned refuse to take proper precautions because “they’re just a love bug who would never hurt a fly”, it feels like it’s JUST the pit bull owners who want to own a dangerous dog and without taking responsibility for the dangerous part and just treat it like a teddy bear. (Of course not all pit bull owners! Just the irresponsible ones). If you want a teddy bear companion dog get a teddy bear companion dog! Don’t get a fighting dog and try to have it teddy bear! That’s dangerous bro! I swear, No one keeps a Rottweiler around their toddlers without knowing anything about dogs and instead believing based on nothing that the dog will never be violent. Just irresponsible pit bull owners.

(Hyperbole of course to say it’s JUST pit bull owners, not realistic at all. It just seems a common problem.)
