Crazy to think a breed of dog is to blame??? That is exactly what is to blame.
I've been training dogs forever. Bomb dogs, dope dogs, attack dogs and even service dogs. Now I work with stock dogs. Border collies and Belgian sheepdogs. We take the border collie pups out of the kennel at 8 weeks old and and put them on a flock of ducks to see if they will work. Most of them instantly start herding the ducks. It is called instinct. These pups have had very limited human contact. They work because they have been bred for the last 200 years to work. It is not nurture, it is nature.
Pitt bulls have been bred for the last 200 years to bite and fight. This too is a bred in instinct. It is there because it has been bred into them. It is nature, not nurture. The owners are usually ignorant of the dogs potential but it is the dogs that attack, maim, and sometimes kill. If pit bulls didn't exist in this country this child would be intact and unharmed. That is an unavoidable fact.
