Why are pit bulls literal retards? They can't compete with Shepards or Collies.

Pit bulls = niggers of dog breeds

>>2264068
Either for niggerish ghetto reasons or because they want to seem like a nice person, kind of how celebrities adopt black babies to get attention and to look nice.

Are there performance comparisons? I know pitbulls are shit tier, but are there numbers out there?

>>2264158
Not everyone wants a smart dog. I know it sounds like something inherently good, but unless you need the dog for actual work, going for a less intelligent breed can make stimulation needs easier to meet.

Genuine question, but what do pits have that other dog breeds don't?

There's a lot of similar, larger, or smaller sized dogs with all of the positive traits without the stigma, as well as others with more usefulness too. (Not trying to denounce the ones who aren't fucking niggers in dog form, I just don't see the appeal myself)

Like black people, people tend to claim pit-bull are all bad because of a tiny percentage that are known to 'act out of line'; which is not as much as some may like to exaggerate, though seem a lot greater when compared to the other minority attacks of other breeds...

Also, a large portion of pit-bull reports are based on misidentifying the breed, meaning overall statistics should evidently be even lower.
Also, they are based around bad owners, meaning it would otherwise likely be even lower

that's kind of like asking someone who likes australian shepherds why when border collies exist, or why they like german shepherds when belgian malinois exist

the breeds aren't actually similar at all when you get to know them. pits are attractive dogs with great drive, and they have a good balance between work/play/rest that other dog breeds don't fulfill for me

>>2264927
They make good guard dogs and tend to be extremely protective over their owners/family.

People think they're goofy and loveable. However, because they were bred for fighting they don't exhibit warning signs (growling, barking, staring) before attacking so retards think that their friendly dog attacked another dog/another animal/another person/a family member just out of the blue at some random point in time.

I guess it serves people right for keeping an animal bred for bloodsports for around 400 years before deciding in the last century that they're totally safe.

Breeds commonly confused as pit-bulls

1. American Staffordshire Terrier
2. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
3. American Bulldog
4. American Bullies; all five of their different breeds, especially the XL
5. Dogo Argentino (not even an American breed)
6. Standard American Bulldog
7. Classic American Bulldog

Usually in reports, it is not a detailed analysis of the bred of the attacking dog. It is usually reported based mainly on what the victim or even officer labeled them as, which is almost always pit-bull for all the breeds I had listed; general dog breed ignorance.

>>2265205
They don't do a dna test to label the dog. If the victim says it was a pitbull, it's officially a pitbull. Which means any breed that has enough bully traits goes under pitbull.

>>2264927
If we are talking about the American Pit Bull Terrier, they have an amazing determination. Quite honestly more tenacious than any other breed I've witnessed, and I train K9s currently so I really only see dogs with high drives. They will keep going for their master to their last breath. Unfortunately, their best asset is also their biggest downfall.

I'm actually in the process of screening APBT breeders to train dogs for military use.

>>2265205
So much of this post is bullshit.

Pit bull breeds still show signs of barking, snarling, growling, etc. Even game bred dogs. If you don't believe me, look at any game dog fight. They are actually known to be exceptionally terrible guard dogs, because all of the pit bull breeds (excluding Am Bulldog which isn't a true pit bull type) are extremely stranger friendly. And it's widely known that dog professionals are all shit at identifying dog breeds including pit bull type breeds. You're talking out of your ass.

>>2265281
Bostons are actually Bully Breeds because they originated from bull & terrier dogs, the same types of dogs that sprouted the Staffordshire Bull Terrier which created the American Staffordshire Terrier and American Pit Bull Terrier. So in some BSL areas, Boston terriers are a dangerous dog breed

>>2264548
Gotta agree with this. Most pitbulls I've seen don't even react to someone banging on the front door of the house they're in. Just lazily look over and continue laying down. I'm a spic, so 90% of my comically large family has owned a pitbull at one time or another. Also chihuahuas. Stereotypes are real.

>hur durr dog bite statistics are conflated with other bully breeds
In my state we have a Companion Animals Register. Animals have to be microchipped and registered with the council (along with the breed).

7% of the dogs in this report were "identified only" by sight.

Their actual numbers are low because after the ban remaining dogs had to be desexed and not bred, but their rate of attack is still the highest. Page 19 & 23:
http://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/Annual-reports-of-dog-attacks-in-NSW-2011-12.pdf

Or for a localised look at one city, take a look at this map and the overrepresentation of pits. Do you think those dogs are incorrectly labeled by their owners?

>1. American Staffordshire Terrier
pretty much the same fucking dog. When pits were banned here a girl I worked with who volunteers at a shelter admitted they started registering pits as amstaffs so they wouldn't be put down.

The guy working on a house down my street has two "amstaffs" who regularly lunge at dogs passing by the site.

>5. Dogo Argentino (not even an American breed)
Nigger, how many Dogo Argentinos are actually in your country? Do you think the majority of attacks are actually coming from purebred Tosas, Cane Corsos and Fila Brasileiros, or dogs that are actually plentiful and accessible your area?

Are pit owners are such special snowflakes that they are able to totally suppress fighting instincts bred into their dogs? My labrador never had to go duck hunting to learn how to retrieve. My kelpie never worked stock but still casts out around balls/other dogs to herd them.

I've never met a GSD owner who recommended that everyone get a GSD for their family. They love their dogs, but they're not fucking delusional and wouldn't want just any retard to own one.

You look like one of these people when you post images like that.

I don't understand why pitbull fans so often try to market these dogs as the cuddliest and nicest dogs ever, instead of acknowledging their bad sides more openly. If you really love the breed, you should be making sure that people are aware of how much work these dogs can be and what kind of common challenges can be expected from them. If any random idiots end up convinced by your cutesy photos and if they buy these dogs without fully understanding what they're getting into, there's a higher risk of unfortunate incidents taking place.

>Like black people, people tend to claim pit-bull are all bad because of a tiny percentage that are known to 'act out of line'; which is not as much as some may like to exaggerate

I'm not even a /pol/tard but it's a fact that blacks commit 50% of all crimes and over 60% of violent crimes while being only 13% of the total population in the US.
This is extremely disproportionate, and no, poverty does not explain it as whites in poverty don't commit anywhere near as many crimes per total population.

I think it's bigotry to judge someone based on something as shallow as his skin colour and i am an inidividualist, but i also think it's ignorance, vanity and plain stupidity to completely refuse the FACT that black people in the US indeed have a tendency to act violent and commit much more crime than whites and hispanics.

We could be looking into the source of the problem, find a solution and finally end racial tension, but no, let's pretend groups of humans who evolved differently in different parts of the world during who knows how long are perfectly, exactly equal, even if it doesn't make any sense from a cientifical point, because who cares about facts, we live in a political world and people who "fight against racism" need racism going on or else they don't make money and/or win votes from blacks.

If you know a thing about dogs you have to acknowledge that the pit bull is a pretty huge achievment as a breed:

Allround working dog (hunting, guarding, pulling, protecting), medium size, high strength for it´s size, very high treshold for pain, not prone to genetic illnesses, easy to groom, trainable etc.

It´s not the breeds fault it´s abused by niggers and too much to handle for the average dog owner.

>>2266537
I don't know what they are talking about, but they are good guard dogs. They are good around babies and young children too- but if trained will definitely attack hostile adults.

>>2266537
Facebook has just as much hate on pit bulls as they do pibble people. There are many groups about wanting them banned, and pit bull hate. There have been issues years before on Facebook where powered spreading a kill pit bulls day, and it spread strong for years until Facebook realized it can kick them in the ass and started deleting posts. It's just a new, hyper form of liberal that what's everything banned.

Not all police K9s are trained to take a person down, there is other police work besides eating niggers. I also want to bring forward that 'she' doesn't refer to all of any breed, and they are specifically talking about an individual dog. That being said, that police dog is not an APBT, just a bully breed.

As a whole, maybe. But to make a claim saying that every single dog that falls under the umbrella term "pitbull" is vicious is not only erroneous, but very closed minded.
An opponent of pitbulls can act just as crazy and short sighted as a pitbull advocate, it is important to keep both common sense and logic in play during discussions of the problems this particular breed causes.

>>2265349
My pit barks maybe once a month and it's only if someone is creeping outside late at night. I can't teach her to speak because she literally does not bark. She's great with dogs but if a big dog is aggressive to her she is just begging for it to try to attack. No barking, growling, or showing teeth.

Pitbulls aren't vicious they were breeded to fight other animals not human beings actully they arent used as a gurd dogs becouse of their natural friendlyness to human beings any dog can be trained or infulanced to be viciouse pitbulls are strong dogs so when it happens it gets the atention i own a giant pit that isn't even gendre agressive through the times they ban diffrent breeds started with the doberman and now its the pitbulls i live in a countrey that bans pitbulls and i own one as for that they're ugley fuck you mate

Both are super playful and lovable. Haven't seen them be aggressive at all. The worse I've seen was them get scared from Fireworks.

I also know this is a bait thread.
