Dogs do not snap for no reason. Instincts have nothing to do with it. Dogs like any other intelligent animal communicate through body language. Whether we can see it or not is a different story. There's a few researchers who can even study wolves, hyenas and bears very very closely because they can pick up on their subtle signs.
Dogs are not mindless creatures. There's always a reason behind their actions.

Hello; The dogbite web site addresses the question of pit bull breeds getting blamed for attacks by other breeds. If I recall correctly it may be in the section about pit bull myths. From what I have so far read on the site they try to deal with the various justifications/rationalizations and such that have been used over time in attempts to defend dangerous breeds, including the pit bulls.
My initial take on the site is that they have experienced the strong pushback from pit bull advocates and have taken some care to cover many of the aspects of the issue. While I can not verify what they have placed on the website, any of the members of this fish forum that will actually study the site should post what they discover to be flawed information if any is found.
Humans are the smartest animal. We murder rape and pillage for no reason. You would have been better using instinct as an argument, not intelligence.

Hello; You appear to be implying something along the line that by finding a understandable reason behind a dog's behavior, that this is somehow an answer to the issue of dog attacks.
For example; I was a runner for a long time untill my feet and knees got old. I have had many encounters with dogs. I understand that dogs are territorial/protective/prone to chase or whatever. That understanding did little to keep some dogs from trying to attack me if they were not secured. I found that along some routes where i ran it was necessary to carry some precautions. Most of the time I could spot a problem dog and by simply stopping running and facing the dog and making loud noise, many would back off. For those that would not be intimidated I found that a dose of pepper spray was often enough.
There was one german shepard that lived on my main running route and for some reason decided to come after me after a long time of paying no mind to me at all. The pepper spray stopped it for a bit but it came at me again and had to get a second dose. It did bite another runner on that road. I felt the need to carry a pistol after that. The dog would come well away from it's yard a good distance up the highway. I would have to stop and walk backwards with the pistol drawn a long way. It was fortunate that I did not have to shoot the dog as it would stop a few feet short and snarl at me. I have often wondered if it somehow knew what I was prepared to do.
I understood what the dog was going to do but still had to deal with the situation. Being aware that the dog had for some reason decided to attack people walking or running along the road in no way made the problem for me any less of an issue. In the end I do not see how finding a reason for a dog attack makes much difference for the person being attacked.
Bad dogs come from bad owners period. If you train your dog, fence it and socialize it there will generally be no problems.
Every dog I've known with a responsible owner I would trust 100%. Shepherd, Pitt, Rottweiler, or any other breed.

I don't see why people have to have pitbulls in the first place, especially around a small child. One accident and it's all over...I got rid of my min-pin when my son was a baby and won't allow another dog in my house until I feel like he can protect himself, should something happen.

Why do people have to have dalmations or German shepherds? It's a persons preference or experience with a breed. I've been around Bull Terriers and AMPBTs all my life and so have my kids. A dog that has been treated well, trained right and bred right will not attack a member of "his/her" family. Look up the pit bull when at the turn of the century when they were referred to as the "nanny dog".
Any way we look at this issue, there will be people who hate the breed and people who love the breed. Years ago it was the Dobermans, then after that it was the Rotts, now it's the Pits that are viewed so terribly. Bunk...

My view is that most people keep them as a symbol, whether they admit it or not. They're still an animal that can't communicate very well...Like I said, one time and it's too late. I'm not looking down on anyone for having them, but there's usually an underlying reason.
