Just because they do more damage doesn't mean that an attack from any breed of dog should be allowed...so if pitbull owners would learn to exercise the same standard of diligence we expect from all the large """oooh....scary'''' breeds, so to speak.. It would go a long way to resolving some of these issues. |
Number one biters are labs and goldens....why cause there are more out there but I see no bans on them...yet. ( that is not going into just how many are bally bred and reactive and never socialized cause they are wonderful kid friendly bred and need no work..yeah right)
Pit bull owners if truly responsible already tend to over training the said problem as they know they live with a "bad" breed.
Let us also get the breeders involved too. If they super socialize the pups out of the gate all pups then aggression do to fear will be less.
Anyone know what it takes to super socialize a litter of pups?
While we are at it.... kids ..got to love them, all need to learn from the get go that hugging a dog, any dog around the neck can get you bit or asking for a face kiss from the wrong dog can get you bit..... I say this as I work with a 2 year old that lives with two great dogs that allow her to do anything but we have to always remind her that not all dogs are like hers and no you may not hug or kiss that one.
