[quote="Skive"]Nice article indeed... :) Anyway, when you are talking about apbt´s you can´t just say the good things. They are naturally great dogs with humans and can be great family pets, and everybody knows (or should know) that. The point is you always forget to say how dangerous they are around other dogs. That´s what really concerns me about the breed. [color=red]People seem to forget that they´re mostly fighting dogs and they often fight for no reason and with, very often, dramatic consequences for the other dogs.[/color] A great number of dogs are killed every year by apbt´s. Anyway, I know that a responsible owner doesn´t let his apbt unleashed around other dogs and I´m sure that´s the case of most of you.[/quote] Unfortunately your opinion about them attacking other dogs is carried by many people. Any of the pit bull breeds may be raised without showing the tendency to attack other dogs. I've seen many pepole out walking their pit bulls when walking my dog at the local park, and they are well behaved. Much better than the unleashed Labs running up into their faces. It's all a matter of perspective and training. If you teach your dog to be an alpha dog, the dog will be aggressive toward other dogs as well as strange people who try to impose authority over them. On the other hand if you teach them that you are the alpha, then they will follow your lead - calm response with you provides them a reassurance that the situation is under control and they need not act on it.
