My Pit Bull/Dalmation Mix is the sweetest, gentle dog (and most intelligent) Dog that I have ever met. She has the jaws of well..she cold bit your arm in half. She just wouldn’t want to unless a person was breaking in to hurt us.
It’s all how you treat and raise them..
Tigers can be sweet to, but they are still wild in their genes.
By the statistics, pit bulls have a violent streak that is much more easily triggered than other dog breeds.
You Tube has plenty of vids showing kittens (or cats) and a pit bull playing. The cute is almost too much to stand.
There’s so much we don’t know about the individual dog history here. People, expecting pit bulls to be mean, may treat them that way from the start thinking they are being clever, but they are just abusing that dog as well as setting the dog up to be trouble later in its life. That would be on top of any genetic temperament issues. Historically the dogs were used to taunt bulls in old fashioned cruel bull baiting, but taunting a bull isn’t quite the same as chomping the bull and hanging on till one of them dies, which is what a modern pit in “mean” mode would do.
exactly. i and a few family members have pits. they are btwn 5 and 8 now. .any and all who visit us fall in love with them.
just dont have them around cats or small rodents.
