I had a friend who was a noted dog handler and breeder and he told me the first rule of handling dogs is never trust a pit bull. He said you just never know when they are going to go psycho. They can be easily triggered by stimuli that other dog breeds correctly see as no threat.
“They can be easily triggered by stimuli that other dog breeds correctly see as no threat”
That certainly sounds plausible.
I had a roommate friend in the 80s that had one and bit a guy riding a bike by MY house.....I was a millimeter from gettin’ sued.
I told him, you can stay but that dog goes NOW.
