When a border collie herds, no one suggests that it's the upbringing. When a lab retrieves, no one suggests that it is the owner's training rubbing off. That's just what those breeds do. But when a pit bull does what that breed usually does, there has to be another explanation?
“But when a pit bull does what that breed usually does, there has to be another explanation?”
Consider this, in light of the total number of pit bulls nationally. Note the listing up above on the thread of fatal ‘dog bites’ over the past several decades.
btw, I don’t own a pit bull. I own a lab and a Rott/GShepard mix breed.
There is no such thing as a ‘vicious’ breed of dog. Ask your vet.
I have a friend who rescues border collies. It cracks me up when a group of us will be standing up chatting together at her house and we suddenly realizer we are in this little tight group. Her dog does to us what herding dogs do, he nudges and leans on us until we are really close together. Funny thing is we don’t even tend to notice it until we’re tight as sardines, but then we have a good laugh.

Well said.
