I’ve been wanting to look way cooler and need some protective dogs around for my kids sake!!

Can’t wait to look really cool for the first time ever. Neighbor has this really stupid golden retriever that’s always wagging his tail and pushing his nose thru the fence and I can’t wait until that ****er is practically decapitated by my loving family dogs.

Because he can't catch it. He'll catch that poodle or 85 year old woman.

My question would be why you would want to have a dog like that around children especially young ones? Also what is it about that breed that makes people who own them want to get them? Is it a status symbol or something? I have children and we have a Corgi. Never even considered a pit bull.

I have a friend who does drive training for dogs and he would tell you this statement is so beyond false and irresponsible and ignorant. He has said publicly that some dogs, regardless of breed cannot get to a high level of control by ANY owner. Period. And you're just some guy that's seen too many episodes of Caesar.

Dogs have a wide array of learning capabilities, behaviors, and individual traits that make them unique.

It is true that a good owner gives every dog a better chance, but there are literally dogs that have anxiety disorders, and mental disorders.

Yes, there are bad dogs. There are breeds that are way more prone to attacking and killing dogs and kids and people. And while a bad owner will make it worse there are lots of good owners that have had to put dogs down for attacking people.

Yes there are bad dogs. Period. And a bad owner just makes it worse. But all dogs aren't "good boys" by default.
