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.
And cats were bred to perpetually puzzle everybody.
Thank you.
Succinct. bkmk.
You are exactly right on all points.
I certainly wouldn’t volunteer to be around a 500 lb terrier either, especially if I wasn’t known to the dog. I think it would still be safer than being around a 500 lb house cat though, ha.
