Thats exactly what I think, however I think Pitbulls are going to be more prone to be mean. I think if raised with loving care, and trained they could be just like other dogs. All dogs still have primal instinct and I think they(pitbulls) are just dangerous because they are too often raised and purposely bred to be mean and act on their primal animal instinct and I think it is really embedded in thier genes. I also know some people who raise thier pit bulls right and the dogs have been know to "snap" all of a sudden so I am honeslty have to say they scare me a little because of all that I know about their breed. BUt they are gorgeous dogs.
I know that my 80 lb boxer would protect me and the little dogs in seconds if anyone tried to harm us because thats her basic motherly animal instincts. And becasue of her strength that would probobly scare other people. I weigh a little more than my boxer and if I am walking her and she sees a cat or something I can not control her. She will literally drag me. I think the same goes for pit bulls. They are sooooo strong and thats part of what makes them a huge threat. I will not actually walk my boxer- my husband has too. I think pit bulls fall victim to carlessness on thier owners part. It pisses me off that more owners dont actualy get in trouble when thier animal does something. It is completely the onwers responsibilty to maintain their animals. I also think (some)breeders are responsible for the characteristics of pitbulls.
