And who do you think is RESPONSIBLE for the breeding and training of such behavior? Hint: It ain’t the dog. My family has owned breeds like Boxers and German Shepards, and we raised them to differentiate between a threat and a six year old. Bottom line: You can thank the owners for the maulings and killings.
Thats not always true with terrier breeds.All terriers have a trigger mechanism, some are hairline and others would take a hammer to knock it off safety, but, if it is ever pulled the dog does not know anything but attack the closest percieved threat and that could be another animal, a child or an adult.Yes, through training you can either dull that trigger or sharpen it but it is still there.
The dogs are ALREADY bred for that behavior - it’s a done deal with the breed.
The dog needs no training to be deadly strong, unpredictable, or to attack - they are inherent traits and behaviors in a pit bull.
The irresponsibility of the owner does not change any of that. So-called “responsible” owners can only modify the animal with training, restraint and good care, but cannot transform a dangerous animal into a trustworthy companion around children, elderly people, neighbors and strangers.
Other people know that, but only the pit bull owners who have been “surprised” by their pets’ attacks seem to figure it out.... usually after countless denials.
