Do you not agree that some breeds are naturally more agressive than others? |
Pits are not more aggressive...they are terriers just like our yorkies and have a high prey drive chase instinct...just like our yorkies, hense other dog attacks. Please note even during dog in dog attacks people statistically on get bitten when taking or getting between the aggrressor and the prey...i.e. try to take a live mouse from a yorkie-just watch your fingers.
We read about people pit attacks more for other contributing reasons
Such as
How many chihuahua bites get reported?
Too many unfit dog owners get pits for a false pretence of power and abuse them.
Pits are highly people attached dogs-they will defend their people (way more than their territory) also they require socialization (terriers) or they get fear aggressive.
Their mythical lock jaw which is just a powerful over developeda in breedingthe muscle...they areare not aligator dogs.
Etc.
Actually agressive breeds aren't even in the terrier class: chows, GSD, Rots, Tibetan Mountain Dogs, etc.
However: blue nose pits (whitesor white &silver grey called a blue) are in serious genetic decline due to bottle neck line breeding to create them (like Biewers but much more accelorated) so they are suffering neurologal genetic issues currently being evaluated.
The symptoms include, self mutalation in biting licking, repedative actions, circling, spontaneous lack of impulse control (getting up randomly running into walls etc) agression (yep random spontaneous previously not an issue) antisocial behavior (very unterrier) exceeding cases of blues eating random object's and not edibles-not chewing for example a metal can but chewing and eating it-many reported rock eaters despite food readily available.
