The pit that killed my fathers dog all these many years ago was trained to hunt bear. They said he had no fear of them at all so I am not sure if that had anything to do with the attack on dads hound or not. I have been around other pits who were very sweet and gentle since. As with any dog I think training is a must. We had a sweet german shephard when I was pregnant with my oldest who one day decided out of the blue when I told her down because she was on the sofa to bite my arm. Before we got her she had been a police dog so training we thought was not an issue. I have had a fear of large dogs since so I don't have one. I love all dogs but some at a distance. We have had dashounds but never an aggressive one. Same with our grandaughters chi's but all were trained from the puppy age. |
