Perfect post but must add. Pits have been bred for violence. They really need to be put down, all of them. I am a dog lover and have two huge loving mutts of very mixed genes. They are both rescue dogs. They just wanted to go home to a place that wanted them and loved them. They are all love and not the least bit aggressive. However if someone attacked me or my wife they would lay down their lives for us.
Yes, dogs do reflect the attitude of their owner. I have no doubt about that.If the owner likes and respect cats, the dog will also, if the owner is a psycho there is a good chance the dog will be too.Dogs will go out of their way to please his master, that is a fact.
When you hear of a dog that turned on his owner, such as that lady that was killed by two of her dogs, she was never their master, especially true when it comes to any breed of terrier.
“Pits have been bred for violence.”
Which was my vets point. People who seek out pits to raise, want to exert power and dominance, add an aggressive fighting dog to that personality and it is a recipe for disaster.
