I don't think exisiting dogs should be killed with a nationwide ban or anything, but they should be banned, and it should be illegal to breed them. Have all the pitbulls castrated, and then this will basically be the last generation of them. Same for rottweilers.

not suitable as pets, no matter what? I'm sorry I have to disagree. I've dealt with many rotts, many pits, many dobermans and alot of German Shepherds as well. Yes they can be temperamental but *ANY* breed can be temperamental. The breeds that everyone considers "dangerous" are, in my experiences, the most easily trained and most loyal of the breeds. Once again, as previously noted, dogs make mistakes just as humans do. I mean really, if one nationality of human is more aggressive then why don't we eradicate them? Just castrate them and it will be the last of their generation.. it's the same thing isn't it? It's harmful to humans. People say a dog hurt a human or mauled someone and they want the dog destroyed and the people put in jail. Another person harms someone or kills another person and everyone crys it's immoral to kill a human. I'm missing the logic in all of this. These breeds are powerful, beautiful and *require lots of attention, training and love* that's the key element. Most people who obtain these dogs sadly don't give the necessary attention to the breed.
Let's look at the Lab for example, I've breed many champions and have always had top notch studs and bitches. I've done a good job training them and have only had one or two bad experiences. Everyone considers these dogs to be loveable and sweet; which in most cases is true. However, like I said I've had a few bad examples. In fact, I've seen a national breeder with possibly the best pedigree sell a puppy to someone and that dog ended up with the worst case of aggression I have ever seen in *any* breed I've dealt with. Does that mean it's dangerous? Possibly, but I blame most of it on the fact that the people took care of the pup(s) for about 4 months then they became too busy and neglected the dogs. Labs require alot of attention but not nearly as much training as pits and such do. This is where people make mistakes. They don't study about the breed and only go by looks or what they've heard. Some breeds aren't right for people. Plain and simple
While I'm at it, I don't quite understand the last part of this statement: I don't think exisiting dogs should be killed with a nationwide ban or anything, but they should be banned, and it should be illegal to breed them: this seems oddly contradictive.
