Really, so you see no difference in the risk of serious injury or death between a poodle as compared to a rottie? Or how about the difference between eating fresh spinach or say chicken, no difference in risk of salmonella? You take more care in the preparation of the chicken, just as you would take more precautions and training in order to license someone to own a "bully breed".
for those who dont like pitbulls !!!

At the end of the day, I still pity the dogs more than their owners. Some owners never understood well dog behavior resulting in attacks. Fear, direct eye contact when you do not know the dog and everything else that makes them feel threatened or provoked, can get you on their wrong side. Too bad. When someone buys a dog on impulse, complains about their temperament, complains how needy the dogs are, at the end of the day, it is the owner's fault. A dog raised well when young is much more understood and less capable of attacks.
Consider the genetic flaws, reckless breeding practices, lack of stringent tests for physical and mental health take their toll on the overrated breeds. So why blame the breed? It all goes back to the same IDIOTIC owners who do everything to profit themselves without putting the dogs' health check on top.
Well, sorry to those who still blame the dogs for what they are, but, before you argue, make sure you come up with a more logical explanation on why we should blame the dogs more than the owners. Puppymillers, backyard breeders, google them. And I completely find these kinds of breeders disgusting for putting particular breeds in bad light.

Great video. I wish more people would take the time to understand such a misunderstood animal.

Yes, I know, bro. What a sad sad world we live in. Glad to hear your son and your dog are doing well though.

I guess that saying people fear what they don't understand is true. Thanks bro.

It is exactly as Lupin puts it. And the more trendier dogs are, the more penile enhancements or status symbols they are, the worse.
Inbreeding, puppy mills everything for a quick pack And passing them one to everybody and their cousin without any analysis on whether the purchaser is an adequate owner.
( personnally i have never sold a pup; i give them away to wh deserves my trust as an owner )
Another reason of bad ownerhsip is total uncomprehension of a dogs ways, and that its natural instinct is to be tle leader of the pack.
So people let dogs play with young children, on their knees, viewed by dogs as pups.
People let the dogs on the bed, on the couch, and let them earn that place and then, one day, people tire of it and want to remove dog from said couch or bed and dog growls, angry at the chnage in pack status, AND, OH MY GOD, I HAVE A DANGEROUS DOG AT HOME!!!
IF PEOPLE TREATED DOGS AS DOGS, AS THE ANCINET ONES DID, LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF THE PROBLMES WOULD OCCUR!

i see that i should not have used the word risk.. i was actually referring too daily life risks.. nothing great or out of the ordinary.. i heard a lady who was elderly ate healthy all her life.. and a bag of fresh spinach caused her death due to ecoli... what i meant was there are daily risks that we don't even consider risks......A big dog is going to do more damage then a little dog.. this is common sense factor if a dog is aggressive..but being a big dog does not make him more aggressive then a little dog. Dogs do not know or realize their size.. Have you owned a dog? Did you own one growing up... or now??? there are signs to look for and take notice when you see a dog.. and you can easily read those signs if you are familiar with dog behavior.. it does not mean you are 100% sure of the signs just because you know dogs.. but it pans out almost 99% of the time.. it also is the same with working and playing with horses.. you have to be familiar to the animals signs and signals.. any strange animal that you meet is a potential risk.. all should be handled by A knowledgable EDUCATED handler..
I couldn't agree more. Dogs will almost always give some kind of signal whether they are scared, stressed, excited or whatever. It's our job as dog owners to read their body language and understand it.
I know this is a touchey subject, as I realize most people love their dogs, also I have nothing against pitbulls / am stafs. I think there a cool looking animal.
The way I see it is they are just to much dog for the average owner. They are much more capable then other breeds. You need to be an EXTRA responsible dog owner to keep this type of dog. This is clearly not the case.
Im a firm believer in, if you cannot control your dog at ALL times, then you shouldn't have it. This is why you can rarely ever blame the dog.
Alot of people are not willing to make this kind of comittment or devote this kind of time, because they have other things going on in there life, and also alot of them just dont know much about basic dog behavior in general.
Seems like people just dont want to do their homework/ research before they buy, not just dogs, but most animals in general.
Most dog owners I talk to at the park were I walk, dont really know squat about there own breed of dog. They just have them.
Like the saying goes, there are dog owners, and there are dog people.
