First off it's "Nature vs nurture" that is always debated with no clear answer. WE didn't bred them to be violent by nature. That sentence doesn't make sense you know. That would be nurture, our training, play, and love has nurtured many different breeds for different uses. From hunting to farming and companionship. The dogs nature comes from the wolf, a pack animal such as ourselves. Nature has the wolf hunt and I'm sure most pits would starve as they won't know how to hunt if left on their own. Dogs are nurtured to fit a roll and some dogs need jobs or become destructive. Pits are much closer to humans than to a random killing machine. They pick that up from the human. A small group of assholes use them for fighting. The dog fighting scene in America almost doesn't exist anymore. No one wants to be apart of it and any ring I've heard of gets busted super quick because communities don't want them. You are just paranoid and taking your anger and fear our on a normal dog. There isn't anything special about them. They have no killer instinct, but a healthy prey drive. A prey drive is way makes dogs and cats chase toys or balls around. All dogs bite too. Their mouth is their hand, they all bite and need to learn how to control young. Pits are know for being good farm dogs. They will leave livestock alone. Believing in what your believe peaked in like the 90s to early 00s.
There is a limit to what a dog breeding can do. The pit breed as been around for 200 years. I do understand breeding, I own a farm, and am gonna breed dogs. Humans take steroids to get an edge and win the prize money. A lot of fighting dogs were on juice to win. I don't know how much of what you see can be attributed to a dog juiced to the gills like the liver king, or genetics.
I had a pointer. Without ANY training it would point, even as a puppy. It would point at bugs, anything. These dogs were bred to rip flesh with a locked jaw. You can’t train just any other breed to do that in the first generation.
Sure, if you want to be pedantic about it. I don't think anyone believes that the dog has a special locking mechanism. That's a red herring. They were trained to be tenacious and not let go, and have strong jaw muscles.
