I've worked at a kennel for 10 years, I'm around dogs 40 hours a week, one on one and in a group play environment. And pit bulls are a huge problem. Some of the stereotypes are a little misguided, they're not ferocious monsters that try to attack everyone they say, they're actually generally pretty good with people. But they're very often aggressive towards other dogs, even the pits that are well socialized and won't actually attack another dog tend to play too rough, and play can quickly turn into bullying, where the other dog will panic and create a problem. I would estimate that about 30-40% of the total aggression issues I've seen had a pit bull involved, which is a huge number compared to the percentage of total dogs they make up. Boxers and huskies are also very often a problem.

Guard breeds are great, but you have to understand that they're a guard breed. Just because they're a sweet little puppy dog with you and people they're used to doesn't mean they're like that with everyone. Especially depending on the situation, if you have them on leash, they're going to be on high defense, because they can move freely and have to stand their ground, and if you're on a neutral site, not your house or someone else's, their apprehension is going to increase even more.

@nethrelm what kind of dog is it? Because that is really weird, but there are several breeds that don't bark very much, there are some that don't bark at all unless they're around other dogs that bark, like basenjis.

@marvalice3455 more often than not the boxers are just playing too rough and it escalates. But they're stupid as hell, so they don't really pick up on social cues like other breeds do🤣🤣🤣 another dog says "get the fuck off me you lunatic", and the boxer hears "play??? Play more??? Play more rough? Ok!!!!!'

Certain breeds have a drive that's nearly impossible to train out of them. Beagles are scent driven, they are going to smell everything, they are going to eat everything, you can't stop them. You can only be careful about what they can get access too. Blue heelers are going to want to herd anything that moves quickly around them, nip at heels. You cannot stop them. And pit bulls are going to get defensive and want to attack any animal around them that shows weakness.

@JohnnyKaw11B are we comparing "well bred" pit bulls to well bred retrievers? Or are we comparing them to all retrievers? And what metrics are used to determine "well bred"?

@JohnnyKaw11B because if you're only comparing cherry picked pit bulls to the entire population of another breed or breeds, that's dishonest. Because you're removing the pit bulls you don't want, but not doing the same with the breeds you're comparing them too.

@JohnnyKaw11B it would be like claiming the St. Louis Cardinals are a better offensive team than the Atlanta Braves, because the top 2 hitters on the Cardinals have a higher OPS than the entire Braves team. That's obviously dishonest, because I'm comparing the 2 best players on a terrible team to the entirety of another team. Obviously the braves worst players aren't better than the Cardinals best players, but they're still overall a much, much better team.
