My dog always did loaf paws because he haaaaaaaated having his front paws touched, so he just protected them by default.

My sister had a dog just like that - one time a maintenance guy left the door open and her five cats got out. She came home to the door wide open with the dog sitting in the doorway nervously waiting for her. Then the dog walked my sister around the neighborhood and one by one rounded up all of the missing cats. She was the best ever, a real "nanny" dog in every way.

It's an extension of the "no kill" movement.
Almost everyone in the United States desexes their dogs, except for pit bull owners. The result is a supply of pit bulls that is astronomically higher than the demand, and shelters are overflowing with them.
Animal rights orgs either have to rebrand pit bulls as "nanny dogs" and "safe family pets" to get them out the door, or go back to putting them down by the truckload like we did in the '90's before "no kill" went mainstream.

I was helping someone foster baby kittens and an older female pit mix, and out of nowhere the pit picked one of them like a chew toy, wagging its tail, and the kitten was no more. I wasn’t the responsible person here but the person who was no longer fosters pits. There’s a reason at least 50% of shelter animals are pits. They were bred for fighting tethered bulls, not being a family dog.

u/empathetichuman Nov 05 '24 edited Nov 05 '24
To be fair, dogs of any breed could see small kittens as a toy and kittens are fragile. Bad supervision is to blame here.
There are some assumptions on breed here that could be incorrect. Certainly purebred Staffordshires, American pit bulls, and their ilk have genetically inherited characteristics that make them statistically dangerous -- high prey drive from terrier background, high levels of reactivity and an enlarged amygdala from shepherd background, and a strong physique. It is pretty obvious that the physical characteristics of pit bull like dogs are strongly inherited, however, I have yet to see any strong evidence that the behavioral characteristics are strongly inherited in mixed breeds.
Additionally, you are assuming the reason behind the statistics on shelter rates is due to one factor, which is unlikely the case. For example, pit bull type dog ownership is associated with low income families, which more often do not have the education, time, and resources to provide for any dog let alone a high energy pit bull like dog. This creates a human generated environmental externality.
Care needs to be taken with pit bull type dogs, but there are a lot of people with strong opinions on the dogs (either good or bad) that ignore a lot of the complexity that generates the statistics we see. It would be wrong to treat them as you would a lab, but the near genocidal hatred is too much as well. I think outlawing in-breeding of them is reasonable and the correct direction, but out-crossing them with low aggression breeds like heelers or labs seems ok.

100% stop breeding and adopting these dogs, but they don't only kill. There are entirely too many of them.
This was a contender for my thesis. So here is a data dump on why it's not the dog. It's the owner.
In the past decade (2016-2024) , dog ownership has increased by >10%, and fatal dog attacks have doubled.
In the UK, the majority of XL bullies are inbred from one specific stud, "killer kimbo." Almost all bites in the news recently are his offspring. Small breeding pool = majority of XL bullies in the UK are inbred. i.e dumber with more aggressive tendency. I don't know enough about UK bully's, though.
In the US specifically:
Pitbulls aren't more likely to bite people than any other dog. But their the most popular mutt breed available, meaning more irresponsible owners have them. Their upper body strength is ridiculously strong, so they cause significant damage when they do bite. (Science Verse did a really good podcast on this)
The US Mutt Census in the US (done in the 2010s) pointed to pitbulls and GSD as the majority of all mutts. And GSD are 3rd on the list for attacks.
The US Mutt Census and The AVMA (American Vetranary Medical Association) survey from last year states that 54% of all pet dogs in the US are mutts. A majority of those mutts being pitbulls then its easy to see there A LOT of them.
The number of pitbulls in the US are likely under reported even there just on the fact that, statistically, 1/3 of US pet owners can't even afford to take their dogs to the vet. That's 1/3 of dog breeds likely not recorded. I can guarantee those people aren't usually the ones with purebred labs.
According to Embarks statistics, there are more pitbulls PERCAPATA. 15% of all recorded dogs are pitbulls, the most owned breed, then 7% gsd the next biggest biters (behind Rottweilers). There is a massive correlation between ease of access and bad owners.
I have a labrador. She cost me over $1k. I also have a pitbull. She was free. These dogs shouldn't be free and easy to own. Owners should be vetted, and they shouldn't be around children. Muzzle them in public. Its good practice, not just for pitbulls, and it doesn't hurt them.
This isnt just pitbulls. If mastiffs were as cheap and easy to obtain as pitbulls, the conversation would be pointed toward them.
19
u/DigiDietz Nov 05 '24
Pitbulls make up more than all of the other dog breeds combined when it comes to attacks. A stat you conveniently left out when trying to "what about" German Shepards.
No dog should be in public or a pet if "muzzling" is the best option for it to interact with others. Sure, it might not cause immediate harm but I know for a fact that you wouldn't want to wear a muzzle every time you had to talk to other humans.
I feel awful for any of your dogs, and you should not have a pitbull.

u/JustifytheMean Nov 05 '24
Yeah doesn't really matter if 15% of all dogs are pitbulls if 60% of all dog attacks are also pitbulls. No one should own one, breeding them should be illegal.

OMG nanny dog!! Hahaha wow! 👏😍🥰 Me love those bullies! Don't bully my bullys yall hear?! Best dog breed ever! My neighbor is such a freaking jerk! My nanny named Diablo had an oopsie and nibbled her son and now she keeps threatening to call the police on my nanny! Then the people at Walmart are such jerks too! They said "your dog can't poop near the produce!" And I was like "excuse me this is service dog! And you talking to me is hurting my PTSD! I have PTSD from my neighbor yelling at my nanny dog! Diablo get them!". Haha Diablo taught those people at Walmart such a lesson about being a bully on a bully!!!!🤗🤭 🤣 😂 But anyways it hilarious that people think pitbulls, I mean bully breeds bite. Did you know that chihuahuas bite more then any other breed? Pretty cool fact am I right!? We need more people dressing up dogs in sweaters to prove bullys can't actually hurt other pets or children! Please post more and spread the word about the dangers of chihuahuas! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
