Right, nothing in the gene pool. Those Labrador Retrievers are another vicious breed you always read about... Sarcasm off.
Labrador Retrievers are not used for dog fighting and home protection. Do you honestly think that they just breed these pitbulls then throw them in the ring and expect them to attack the other dog? NO! They beat and strangle them. They starve these dogs. They cut them to get their adrenaline flowing. They put fear into these dogs then stick them in with another dog who has gone through the same thing. Go and buy a Labrador Retriever puppy tonight, and start treating it the same way and expect it to lick your face six months from now and not rip it off. An animal is going to act like an animal.
My lab puppy is exhibiting her instinctual behavior. She field-prances in the yard (jumping up on back legs to look), field pounces on anything suspect, tracks birds and chases them and loves swimming and will get apoplectic at splashing water (fish simulation cuz they fish too).
For the pitbull the instinctual behavior is biting, ripping and tearing flesh until the prey is dead.
These are the same type of idiots who want to have a mountain lion or tiger as a house cat.
The breed should be taxed out of existence such as a $10,000 dangerous breed tax. Of course the low lifes who own them won’t bother to pay but at least it gives a pretext for seizing the breed when it shows up in public which will have a virtuous effect.
In fact, labradors are very similar to the bulldogs: `roach’ backs, powerful withers, rather short-legged, weight-forward: lean rear ends, powerful chests.
I had a liver color lab, a good boy, and now have an American bulldog, both about 90 pounds.
Any tough guys signaling harm to my dog, then coming on to my property will wish they had moved on.
