Until I see a pit bull working at the level we train to I will have no doubt as to my opinion of their train-ability, predictability and the low level of their intelligence.
Working stock dogs have have a working vocabulary that can reach hundreds of commands.
I actually think most pit bull problems are because of people who do not understand the potential nature of the dogs that pull them down the street.
Lets clean up one more big lie. There was a comment about the war dogs being rehabilitated. That was true but the way it was stated was meant lead one to believe that these were pit bulls, they were not. For the most part these early war dogs were, belgian shepherds, Tervurens, german shepherds, belgian sheepdogs, and malinois.

Uh, no, the source states that they were mostly Doberman Pinschers; what are your qualifications again? Do you claim to be a military k9 trainer?

Who pays for your testimony in court,
the lawyers, the insurance companies or the government?

Okay, I see from
this post that you were a military handler/trainer...But you don't seem to know what a prong collar is...You say you've been training stock dogs for 40 years, along with "Bomb dogs, dope dogs, attack dogs and even service dogs"...And yet you have an extremely narrow view of dog breeds and their potential...What's going on with you?

I'm a real dog trainer and I train for real dog handlers. Prong collars are not a collar that is used on any of my working dogs. Even choke chains are a training aid and not something to choke a dog down or physically restrain them through brute force. That is not how they are used in proper hands. You train a dogs brain to respond to commands without having to use physical force to restrain them. If you are in a tug of war situation then you are just wrong in every thing you are doing. A trainer is after a conditioned response. Dogs should always walk on a lose leash and you should be able to control them with only your voice in all off leash situations.
Even Law Enforcement attack dogs can be called off of a person with only a voice command. It is part of their certification.

A picture of a dead dog... “For all the dead little children”.
I can’t fathom how you would think that appropriate.
btw, since you’re stealing someone’s bandwidth by posting that picture
you might want to link to their site so we can see their anti-dogfighting message.

Damn right they were Dobes.
They were the [in]famous “Devil Dogs” whose ranks later included GSDs and other working breeds.
Famous show kennels [such as the seminal Arthal kennels] donated their prize dogs for the war effort.
Most of the owners got their dogs back...when they survived.
Some let the handlers keep the dogs they’d grown to love.
[just think LEL, somebody, somewhere is paying beau coup Benjamins to this guy]

Not true!

I said it and you read it on the internet and everybody knows everything you read here is automatically true. Yeah, I know, but I do try to give people here the benefit of the doubt. It IS confusing though, because I learned the full history of the War Dogs in boot camp, and my MOS had nothing to do with dogs.

Well, obviously they’re dead and were unable to be resurrected and rehabilitated.

Let’s add “sinfulness” to their already burgeoning list of bad traits.
