Quote from shortie:
here is my message to the delusional dog lovers here:
a dog is an animal bred from wolves. some of them can and will go berserk and maim people (and other dogs).
only if the owner is an idiot.
How else do you explain the fact that the dog whisperrer guy takes on agressive dogs day in and day out, and has never beeen seriously injured by one in his entire life?
One question I have is could you take any breed and make them a fighting dog? Could you have fight to the death fights with any breed? Probably not I would think.
Some breeds just are not the least bit aggressive no matter how hard you try. I could be wrong. Just guessing.
I don't think you can deny that some types of dogs are inherently aggressive, like wolves or tigers or tasmanian devils.

You are right, some breeds would be incapable of fighting, i had a king charles spaniel, when i was young, and the thing was basically as useless as tits on a nun. It was a task just trying to get him to get off of me on the couch cause he was the laziest dog ever, i highly doubt you could make a dog like that agressive.
But that doesnt mean that a breed like a pitbull is necessarily agressive, they just are more energetic,energetic dogs are far more likely to lash out then lap dogs, if not trained properly.
I have been bit by chihuahas twice, those little things have to be the most naturally agressive dogs i have ever seen, but you dont hear anything about it, because they are basically like a rabid squirrel, and owners often think that it is funny when a dog like that bites because it can not cause damage, so they do not disipline them. I think those dogs suffer from little man syndrome.

Pit bulls are probably the breed of dog that gets the overwhelming majority of abuse from dog owners. It is incredibly sad because they are such nice dogs.
There is a reason why Ceasar Milan (the dog whisperer) has so many pitbulls.... And it sure as hell is not because they are vicious dogs.

Agreed! The majority of what I'll get involved with a (dog) rescue with is a pitbull. It's BRUTAL how these VERY faithful, and loving dogs are treated by drug dealer thug trash!
I've seen and heard it all...
And the female pitbull I rescued from a kill shelter was bred at 6-8 months (TOO young!), and two other times by some... Well, "inner city" trash that wanted to profit from selling fighting dogs so they can gamble vs. work a REAL job. The problem was, her puppies didn't want to fight, nor did she. She was put in the shelter by the local police after her "owners" were jailed for animal abuse, cruelty, posession of crack cocaine, etc., When I got her they were 2 days from putting her down as they had kept her up to the point where if not adopted, they have to be destroyed.
I guess dogs who aren't wanted are sent to death row which is sad as they didn't do anything to deserve to die for.Our female takes over my LEATHER, SOFT suede couch when I'm at work, and my Wife will send me a pic now and then saying, "how's that 'off the couch' dog training coming along?":eek:
Here's a pic of her partly sleeping on MY couch. I couldn't say anything to her for that after seeing this pic. Lol!

I've been bitten by small dogs 20 X 1 to a pitbull, shepherd, doberman, etc.,
Of course, I do admit having to hide fear around a 110lb abused shepherd in a rescue situation who is growling. That one gets my attention vs. the ankle biters who either bite up to knee height, or fingers when you're trying to treat them.
When a big dog bites, they leave a mark. Why? They're bigger/have more mass which can create a larger wound. When a great white shark bites (rare!), it leaves a big "mark," and makes big news! If a 2-3ft baby nurse shark bites a calf, leaves a few teethmarks, small news. It is what it is. Big dogs produce more power due to sheer mass. IF they bite, they leave a "mark" that ruins a weekend. If a small dog bites, you get a red mark where they tagged you. Common sense.
It's just been my experience in the rescues I've been involved in that the big boys aren't much trouble vs. the little dogs who have attitude, and will let you know all about it. Lol!
I am sure none of these actually happened (top of google search):
