"Your dog" is not the problem. The thousands of other poorly trained, poorly bred, POORLY owned pit bulls are the problem.

You're right, and me and my dog are proof that with the right training and care any dog can also "not be the problem" if the proper steps are taken.
That's all i've been saying here.
Thanks you for supporting me and my dog and my dog training methods. ;D

So you also believe the average owner trains their pits properly? Otherwise it would seem like even you would agree it's a mistake trying to convince your clients to get one.

A well trained dog can still attack if provoked or aggravated enough. There are so many examples of very obedient pits that DO attack when they are in a bad mood.
The dog might always seem to obey it's master, but it might find a kid annoying or even "just want to play" and bite the kids head off.
Pits are not dangerous because they are prone to attack a lot, but because of the incredible damage they do when they have their rare bad moment.
It's amazing that self proclaimed expert pit trainers know so little about the dangers of these dogs. Or rather that they can be so arrogant that they think they can tame a dangerous animal and that their expertise will be enough to ensure it will never hurt someone.

Erm, yes they are. All of the stats, all of them, show they are more prone to attack.
Keep in mind the differentiation between attack and bite. Few dog breeds will come after anything with a sustained attack. They mostly bite and back off to see what happens next.

ah good, semantics

Stats.... :laugh2: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah:
For every stat that says one thing i can find another stat that totally contradicts that stat and so on.
