Reply To: Pitbulls…why?

[Unseen]

If I lived on and island with no children or elderly people, or even better if I lived completely alone, I might consider having a pitbull because they can be very loving and loyal as regards their owner. Unlike most other dogs (other fighting and guard breeds aside), if something goes wrong, it can go very long. You can easily find Youtube videos of a pitbull latching onto some other dog and not even his owner can get him to let go. This is a behavior that borders on instinct in pitbulls and related fighting breeds (Staffordshires, bullterriers, bulldogs, etc.). Guard dog breeds, too, can be unpredictable and can kill without warning and without anyone doing much to stop them apart from killing them.
