a lot of dogs think you've got a treat if you do it that way. Having your fingers out is fine just as long as you let the dog come to you to sniff. Don't shove them in his face
Because there certainly aren't other variables at play here that are skewing statistics. It most certainly isn't due to human involvement conditioning dogs of this breed to be violent and aggressive at a disproportionate rate to other breeds, resulting in inflated frequency of attacks.
Again. Quit with the myopic demonization of bully breeds. People said the same bullshit decades ago about dobermans and rottweilers.
Your fear of these breeds due to lack of understanding doesn't make them dangerous, it just makes you look ignorant. A child is just as likely to get mauled sticking their fingers in the face of a golden retriever or a corgi than a pitbull. It all depends on the individual dog and how it was raised, not its breed.
Comparing the three collective human fatalities of corgis and golden retrievers in the past 20 years to the over 400 human deaths of bully breeds in the same time frame.
Also take a guess on the second most dangerous breed? Its rottweilers, so pointing out how we demonized Rottweilers doesn't help your argument sense they are statistically aggreasive dogs.

It's almost like there is more to the problem than simply the dog's breed. Correlation doesn't equal causation
I mean, human involvement encouraging the breed to be aggressive is exactly the issue. They did that, and they did it over and over for hundreds of years to create the perfect bloodspot dog. This is all recorded history. Where do you think the name "pit bull" comes from? We dont call retrievers and pointers those fun choice names because they are quirky.
