It's all about how you raise it. That goes for any dog.

Myself and my family have owned Dobermans for years. I have owned a pit bull and my brother currently owns one. All are very loyal and great dogs. They might lick you to death, though. Sorry.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that Bubba. You're playing with dynamite if you have a Pit in your home.

Same with Rottweilers, Pyrenees, Chows(!), and about a dozen other breeds and mixes.

Hell, I know 4 people with scars on their faces from dogs less than 20 or so pounds.

Made me sick to read of the child in Atlanta killed and another young child mauled while at a school bus stop after being attacked by these savage beasts. If I were the dad of one of these kids, I would not only shoot the animal but also the owner.

Oh, I'm sure some of the A-hole types that own Pits or Rottweilers will say their dogs are harmless. Always thought owners of big vicious dogs were either drug dealers or people with little egos who felt big owning a big dog. Suit me if every Pitbull on the planet were euthanized tomorrow.

My Pit is the sweetest dog ever. Far nicer than my dachshund.

It would suit me if you were euthanized. Now go back to your safe place, loser.

I don't think this dude supports the safe place concept. Just a hunch.

I really don't have a dog in this fight, (pun intended :)), but I do think pit bulls and some other breeds have a genetic make-up to be more aggressive than others. I do believe that the way they are raised plays a huge part too. Some have mentioned that the smaller breeds are just as aggressive and that may be true but even a small child can defend himself against a Chihuahua or a Weiner dog. There have been too many instances of pits just going bat sh!T crazy with no provocation from supposedly good homes for me to not believe there is something genetic going on. JMO

Five out of thirty-seven Basset hounds failed?!?!?! Having owned a Basset hound, I find that hard to fathom...

When you have such a small sample size that can be an issue, but an 86% pass rate isn't bad.

That test is a joke for this thread/argument.

I was curious how 116 Golden retrievers failed, so I checked out the Test description and watched the video. Behr, my Golden, would have failed 3 of the 10 and possibly 2 more.

:crazy:

"My dog would've failed" doesn't mean the test is a joke.

For the record.

My best friend has a Brindle. Her name Sugar. She is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever spent significant time with. She has been a part of my "family" for over 8 years. Her and Behr were best of friends. I posted pictures of the two of them together in the last thread on this subject. Now that Behr is gone, she spends as much time with me as she does at home. I love her.

Pitts get a bad rap. I would guess it's "hangover " from many years past. I think more responsible owners are adopting and raising them better than 20-30 years ago. But, as a breed, I don't trust them.

Take your Pitt to this test. Fire a shot gun. He or she perks thier ears up and looks around like "what was that, where'd it come from....cool".

My dog, same situation becomes the first dog to climb a tree in 1.2 seconds.

What does that tell me? Which dog is more likely to kill someone?

My Golden girl would probably have wrapped herself around my legs for 3-4 of the tests, bringing me to the ground. I assume that would be counted as "failure." :)

As for gunshots... Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and thunderstorms sent both Goldens into quivering messes. I always wondered how they were supposed to perform in hunting situations. Eventually I invested in a supply of doggie downers in preparation.

I called them guard dogs. I figured that any burglar could be convicted by the dog hair and slobber from my two welcoming them to the home.

I did once read of a Golden that was part of an attack and killing. It was with a pack that was running loose.

This boy is a drooling goober and thinks the kids and grand kids hung the moon. His owner is the dangerous one, especially where the safety of drool dog is concerned. I've also kept this breed since the 90's and realize I have large dogs with the highest jaw pressure of any dog. An awful lot of time has been put into making sure each furkid is properly trained and socialized, can be touched anywhere their body, has absolutely no food aggression, drops food on command and is friendly around other animals. As with any relationship, human to human or human to animal, you receive back from it what you put into it.

You can't beat a Golden for a true family pet. Mine have taken plenty of abuse from the kids over the years. ( kids crawling all over them, pulling fur, pulling on ears, putting their hands in the dogs food bowl)

Roscoe is 9, weighs 110 pounds and lays next to my youngest grandson and lets him crawl all over him.
(Grandson is 7 months old ( other grandson is 2 1/2 and is hell on wheels.)

I don't trust another breed to be around babies.

The circumstances Behr was "tested" many times, was nothing short of amazing.

I understand your post and agree 100%, and then some.

Mine hears a shot and looks for a bird to hit the ground. He also is one of the most gentle dogs I've met
