A black lab attacks boy and his Pitt bull

Guess what Clint, these numbers don't include mixed breeds or those that are mistaken for pitties. Regardless, 6% is still high enough to lead the pack. No dog more popular.
You should move your tongue

They clearly aren't the most popular. You are delusional on this topic. The study cie Grant posted proves all you need to know.
You clearly don't understand FDCs new argument. All dogs may be pit bulls. Do you want to get rid of all dogs?
Reminds me of the scene from animal house.
Is that true?
If their weren't genes that dictated behavior in dogs, how were they ever bred from wolves to begin with? I always heard dogs basically come into existence because humans 20,000-40,000 years ago domesticated the most docile,friendly wolves that followed them around.
So can't the opposite be done? Breed the nastiest most aggressive dog from each litter?
Dogs absolutely have behaviors influenced by genetics. To argue that point would be asinine. Dogs were bred to do different things. Their behaviors are greatly influenced by genetics. Spaniels, terriers, etc. they act the way they do because of their genetics. And yes, some breeds are more prone to aggression based on their genetics. Not to say you can't have lovely dogs from an aggressive breed, because there is a lot of influence from the owner and whether or not they help bring out these bad traits.
The answer is simple. Find the study backing up your assertion and post it. Find out the exact gene and post it. Very simple. Until then quit telling me what you know to be true because you say so

And where does it state that all pit bulls are genetically aggressive. It doesn't. Not anywhere. You want to know why? Because they aren't.

You post a q&a as a study about genetics? The fact is dogs are breed for certain behaviors. Whether they are genetically disposed to do so has never been proven. German Shepherds are believed to be genetically disposed to hip displaysia however it's been svientificaaly studied and proven to be a by product of inbreeding. All this information is readily available on several respected websites including petMD. These websites don't sorry your position so you don't post them

My friend and former roommate is a pit bull lover. He volunteers, fosters and has adopted 2. Both are nice dogs, well one passed away a few years ago, but these dogs kill oppossums, rats, racoons, mice, squirrels and armadillos. The killing isn't the worst part, it's the rage and agression they show when they spot small prey.
His 1st pit was rasta, a beautiful, hyper-quick, very muscular dog with a large head and vert short legs. Just a wonderful dog, with the exception noted above. She died young of cancer, I think. This dog was awesome in almost every way
The current specimen is syd, a thin long legged female with a smaller head. She also has a warm personality with humans, though nowhere near as awesome looking of a dog as rasta. Even though syd looked far less imposing than Rasta, shw was actually a more ferocious killer of small prey, once tearing apart an armadillo in a campground by biting it, swiniging it violently and slamming it on the ground in the presence of a very startled child.
My concern is for these normally docile pets to turn on a toddler or infant. The combination of powerful bite and hyper -aggressive behavior towards other small living things is enough to keep my kids away from this breed. Better safe than sorry, so we.have a 1.5yo old pug/beagle mix who likes his belly rubbed and a sweet little Boston terrier approaching 6 months, who thinks he's a lap dog.

same way ... everyone that knows me and my affection of dogs
have known several with pits and great pets that many are
to me its just like Cie described ... its just not worth the risk factor
and I always applaud FDC and his dedication to animal love
he is from Chicago and will NEVER give up on an argument :142smilie
I don't trust Pit Bulls, that's just me, I think I would trust one that I raised but it's behavior would always be in the back of mind and considering there are many other types of dogs I will just choose a different breed.
I don't trust the owners of pit bulls either. Never trust an owner who tells you their pit isn't aggressive until you see for yourself. I had a guy swear to me how his pit was like a baby, my ass it was aggressive towards me and I made him put it away. That's maybe part of the problem, denial people have or pure neglect. How am I to know you raised your dog properly? Saying that I probably don't trust any dog I don't personally know regardless of Breed. I think owners should be held responsible for their dogs actions
