name one breed of dog that 'likes' going to the vet...come on. my GF's australian shephard / lab mix needs to be sedated with doggie valiums, muzzles, and vet techs holding multiple leashes when at the vet...its not a vicious killer dog. all studies show, time and again, that pit bulls finish above average in tempermant tests and are more stable and well tempered than almost any other breeds of dog that are more commonly kept as pets and deemed 'safe' (e.g. golden retrievers). thats a fact...there's no arguing it.
mephisto...i can easily read from your statements, that you could care less if the breed was erradicated. your obvious misconceptions about the breed have mobilized your 'patent' stubbourness to block out any chance of changing your mind about this breed of dog...even in the face of the facts that i have provided, which show that the breed, when trained under normal loving conditions, is no more or less dangerous than any other breed of dog. again, there simply is no arguing with fact.
additionally...your play on the nomenclature of the breed is ridiculous (as another poster has already pointed out). all breeds of dog descend from wild dogs which are, by nature, aggressive. they use sharp teeth and claws and cunning to hunt prey. it makes no sense to infer that retrievers and labs can have natural aggression bred away...but other breeds cannot. any trait, genetic or otherwise can be bred in and out of dogs, cats, what have you. i have a buddy in washington state who breeds ridgebacks for use as seeing eye dogs. the same ridgebacks which are used in packs to hunt lions in africa. It is quality of breeding and proper training and care that plays the biggest factor in a dog's tempermant. period.
i respect and agree with several other of your positions mephisto, but i truly am surprised at what appears to be a display of relative ignorance on your part regarding this topic. and posting the laws of impoverished nations does nothing to support your opinions. ireland is a place where puppies born on farms are placed into a sack and thrown off cliffs or into lakes. where wild dogs roam streets, fields, and forests in packs. apples and oranges my friend...apples and oranges.
