Sadly, the scum that do this to Pit Bulls breed to get larger and more aggressive temperaments. That kind of irresponsible breeding just creates all kinds of problems for any breed.
As in most cases the pet buyer has no idea what kind of breeder they are dealing with or the danger of getting an unstable or genetically damaged pup.
Yorkshire Terriers are suffering from a long list of genetic disorders plus some serious temperament issues due to poor breeding practices just like the Pit Bull. Because they are not big muscular dogs no one is putting up a big fuss about the damage being done to the breed. People think they can just sweep the whole issue away by banning a breed but what needs to be done is to end the indiscriminate breeding of pet animals. |
This is true to a point, but even well bred dogs are capable of aggression. People need to exercise responsibility with any dog.
