People will never learn to not have a pit bull. They’re wonderful dogs until they’re not so wonderful and they try to kill you, often succeeding. I’m sticking with Labrador Retrievers. I don’t have to worry about our two trying to kill us.
You can’t take all those generations of breeding out of a dog. I know people who have kept pit bulls with no problem, but it’s a terrible gamble and I wouldn’t have one.
There is someone locally who posts ads for the local area animal shelters highlighting dogs that need to be adopted or they’ll be put down. Probably 99% of them are pit bulls. No way I’d ever adopt one, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else adopt one either.
They will lick you to death in your sleep......................
I don’t think we have much to worry about with our 18 pound Goldendoodle, either. You could get licked to death, though.
Best dog I ever had was my Lab Lucy. Sweet is can be. They’re no so good as guard dogs and she walked up to every person she ever saw, tail wagging, wanting to be friends

Labs? Their tails are stealth weapons. Seen one clear off a coffee table with that tail.
Labs are great dogs.
I have relatives who raise Pit Bulls. They are precious, lovable and spoiled babies. But when my relatives receive visitors to their home, the muzzles are used, just to be safe.
My cousins are very responsible and loving Pit Bull parents.
I absolutely do not like or trust any pit bull, but the only dog that ever bit me was a Labrador. I was about 11 or 12, riding my bicycle home, and the dog came out of its yard and got me on the right hip, just hard enough to break the skin. My dad talked to the dog’s owner, and I never saw that dog running loose again, though they kept it for at least a few years after that. This was in the days when people didn’t sue each other over any little thing.
I love me some Chihuahua, i can stop the attacks with two fingers.
Labs and Goldens are the best. Although the Goldens would probably escort the burglar to the safe and bark out the combination, they are such people pleasers. But such love bundles!
