Hey, is that because she has an actual grain allergy? I'm asking because new studies show a possible link between grain free dog food and a dangerous heart condition, they're no longer recommending it unless absolutely necessary.

Want Savannah to keep rocking on as long as possible.

No, I’m actually not. I acknowledge there’s tons of pits that never snap. In fact I specifically said that you simply don’t know when you adopt one from a shelter whether they come from fighting lines, and that since aggression is often inherited it’s almost always a gamble. A gamble I’m no longer willing to take. I did NOT say all pits are aggressive or bad, just that I have made a personal decision based on my own (anecdotal but rather extensive experience) that I personally will never own another.

Well I’m glad you’re acknowledging this at least. Because scientists have absolutely proven aggression can be inherited.

Speaking for myself, I’ve owned and loved several pits and will never own another. As all but one had severe small animal aggression, the majority some form of dog aggression, and a couple displayed frightening behaviors towards people, with one flat out going after several. Guess my point is that no other breeds of dogs I’ve owned had those types of issues. Also, you simply can’t deny that dogfighting is still a massive problem in the US, that when dogfighters breed a litter only a couple are kept back for fighting, the rest rehomed to families. And that when you get a pit from a shelter you have no idea whether it came from fighting lines, and that furthermore even your average pitty byb who doesn’t fight their dogs often breeds them willy nilly without regard to the temperament of the parents.

Pits are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. I just feel that people do a tremendous disservice when they ignore and deny these things and call them nanny dogs and whatnot. Unsuspecting families then aren’t able to cope with this small animal, dog, and sometimes human aggression. Which is why they cycle through the shelter system over and over again.

It harms the dogs AND the people. And frankly I will never ever own another pit. And I’m often demonized for my personal perspective.

Anyway, thanks for answering our questions.

Cows are responsible for about 20 human deaths a year in the US. Pits 40-60. Just sayin’.

Perfect answer to that person.
