God made animals capable for their own survival that they may reproduce. When men used the pit bull for their own advantage in the dog fighting sport, they cultivated the best fighting machine known to man. The dogs that exhibited favorable traits survived. Those that did not, did not survive. Survival of the fittess exploiting God’s perfect design of genetic adaption. These fighting machines through genetic adaption have a switch in their brain that cause these dogs to clamp down with their jaws and won’t let go even unto death. Once they bite down, their powerful muscles, developed though genetic selection, go into a shaking action that disconnects huge portions of body mass from their victim’s body. Few animals can perform this action as deadly as the pit bull. Even the most friendly, domesticated, pit bull has this capability and that trigger of death in their brain.
I think you hit the nail on the head.all dogs can behave like vicious hunting pack animals..and the dogs when set off which are the most capable are the well known ones...rots..pits..argentine dogos...german sheps..dobies...anyone who keeps em is risking some damage either to others or themselves...loyal loving or nicely tempered...step right up to the wheel of fortune...or fickle finger of fate..
Your post on the subject is as well written as I’ve ever seen it written. Fido the pit bull may be well socialized from a puppy but he still can’t escape his genetic breeding anymore than any other breed.
Labs were bread to retrieve and it comes naturally to them no matter how untrained to do so.
German Shepherds were bread to herd and it comes naturally to them no matter how untrained to do so.
Terriers were bread to chase small rodents it comes naturally to them no matter how untrained to do so.
Pit bulls were bread to fight. At any time for any unknown reason, that inherently bread trait can manifest itself. It is in their DNA. I mean, what do you feel safer around? A Labrador that at any minute can revert to breeding and retrieve your shoes, or a pit bull that at any minute can revert to breeding and maul someone to death.
