I think it can't be said enough, the characteristics that niggers look for in breeding pitbulls are unhealthy. If you gave me 30 years I could turn gsd's into the same type of belligerent unpredictable beasts. Pitbulls were bred for strength, pain tolerance, etc back in the origins of the species. Now many pitbulls are bred to be misanthropic and hate other dogs, because that makes them better "attack" dogs. I'm sure we can do that to any other dog species, give it another 100 years and you can breed in the jaws and what not, but thats not the issue with pitbulls. It's their genetic breeding to make them hate other dogs and to hate people not in their "pack".
That's a trick pitbulls will pull, they will sleep all fucking day and pretend they don't need engagement like a basset hound or some other lazy dog breed. But they do, they need to be walked, they need toys, they need a job. They aren't the brightest but their eagerness to please makes them very trainable. Mine knows specific toys and I can name them he will go get them. I prefer that kind of engaging with him, wrestling, tug of war, shit like that. My gf likes to make him do specific tricks, so he knows how to do spins and she can make him jump on fences and walk them, the agility shit.
This is what makes them tricky and has people saying they are great dogs for anyone. They definitely aren't, they need attention, much like Spaniels, Retrievers, GSDs, etc... but unlike those dogs who give you signs that they are bored, pitbulls were turn being bored into a pleasing exercise thinking that's what we want from them. It sounds great but imagine if you sat in one spot all day and then the person who you stayed there for comes home and doesn't engage with you, you'll build up anxiety and nervous energy like a motherfucker.
Sorry, boss, but this is pure nonsense in defense of your dog. Pit bulls were not bred for strength and pain tolerance, they were bred for
gameness - the drive to continue attacking with zero regard for their own safety. We literally had to breed OUT the instincts of self-preservation inherent to damn near every species alive to create these beasts. While they're obviously physical specimens, too, this is
not what makes them so uniquely dangerous. As a pit owner, you need to understand this. You don't.
You’re pretending the modern pit is some deviation from the past due to recent shitty backyard breeders. No, this is the original design. Pits didn’t start out as gentle working dogs who were later “ruined.” And you aren't going to turn another dog into a pit in 30 years,, otherwise we'd already have GSD's rivaling nanny dog stats. They don't. What are you referencing about their "jaws?" Do you think they actually lock?
You're no different from any other pit apologist. As always, invoking your No True Scotsman fallacy to gatekeep which pit owners are the irresponsible morons. Conveniently, it's always those who don't do what
you're doing. Yet nothing you are doing is affecting the pits genetics, which you've already shown to egregiously misunderstand. Pits aren't "misanthropic," dude. You are the bad owner that other bad owners always reference to absolve themselves of owning shitty dogs.
You’re anthropomorphizing these mutants into misunderstood introverts with built up anxiety and "nervous energy" when what you really have is a high-risk breed engineered for sudden, explosive violence. You can teach it tricks and buy it toys, but you’re still living with a loaded weapon and making the rest of society deal with it. And as always, my confidence in the owners is non-existent because you blame pitbulls doing what they were designed to do as a failure on other owners:
If only they didn't let Luna build up the bored energy, she wouldn't have exploded. But what do you expect when these clever dogs inadvertently turned their boredom into a game to please us owners!
Like clockwork, it's the revolving door of what these other owners
clearly didn't do. Yes, pits “need a job” to quell their natural drive and instinct. Why? Because like damn near all dogs, they are a working breed, created solely to fulfill a specific job. But the problem with pitbulls in modern, civilized societies is being out of work because we've
banned their job from practice. And unfortunately, you seem to think you can replace that job of murdering other living things in brutal ways with teaching them tricks of agility or working their memory. You are wrong; dangerously wrong.
Pitbulls are a bit of an enigma, they need to be entertained much like gsd or retrievers, etc... they were originally bred to be farm dogs and much like other farm dog breeds, they need attention.
No, they fucking weren't "bred to be farm dogs." This is a classic deflection tactic pit apologists use to downplay the breed's fighting origins. Pit bulls were
never farm dog in ANY sense. Bull terriers were bred to kill
rats on farms, i.e., violence.
That’s not an enigma. That’s part of what makes them so dangerous and YOU ARE DESCRIBING THEIR FIGHTING GENETICS. This “calm until they explode” behavior is a byproduct of their breeding. They're engineered to be triggered with minimal provocation and to escalate
instantly into maximum violence. And they will not quit once that is activated, which is why multiple encounters with police will involve a dozen shots, stabbings, taser deployment and O.C. spray and
still involve officers getting nannied.
This isn't a quirky personality trait, it's a genetic time bomb. Retrievers or shepherds might get antsy when bored. Pit bulls maul when overstimulated
or understimulated because mauling shit is their genetic purpose. They don't do enough of it and they're neurotic, shaking violently from the passenger seat when passing another dog. They will literally tear apart cars to get
into one where another animal is. What kind of other animals repeatedly attack porcupines?! Or
do this shit? I've seen multiple videos where
they do this.
The “Old Southern White” dog, often called just the “White Dog” for short, was specifically bred for hunting escaped slaves from a combination of English fighting dog ancestry with “Cuban bloodhounds,” who were not actually bloodhounds at all, but were a Spanish fighting and war dog also bred for slave-hunting. “Working farm dog” in context was & remains a euphemism for having been used to keep slaves on plantations.
John D.Johnson, meanwhile, made no bones about the fighting ancestry of his “American bulldogs” in a 1980 letter to Stodghill’s Animal Research Magazine, in which Johnson stated, “The American Bulldog is the same dog that was developed in England in the 12th century by the meat packers, to catch large bulls to kill for meat… Then they started bull baiting with them, and they then were called ‘Bull Baiting Dogs.’ Later, they were registered as ‘English Bulldogs.’ They also were ‘pit’ fought over there [England], against each other, badgers, lions, and anything that would fight. They were brought over here [America] in the 17th century…In the 18th century, England outlawed all types of fighting, and they were no longer needed in their present form, so they bred them down in size…We kept our bulldogs in the [original] large state, and I have developed them even larger.” -

Their primary utility has always been violence, not herding livestock or guarding barns.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's how you raise them.
You are, though. You're just dressing it up in pseudo-scientific nonsense to delude yourself that you're somehow a "responsible" pit owner. Your guesses on agility work and mauling tires negating their insatiable drive is idiotic and without evidence. If anything, it'd reinforce it. So unless you plan on locking these dogs away from all of society, it's a recipe for disaster.
The normalization of shitty fighting dogs
and the main training methods to fight them has only exploded human ability to do so. It gives dog fighters a cover. It's the same argument child molesters for destigmatizing pedophilia under the guise of helping pedophiles not harm
real children. And even
pitbulls are child rapists!
The breed
