Comment on The World’s Most Aggressive Dog Breeds by laryssa budden

Pit bulls bad rap comes from bad owners. You treat your pit right and she will treat you right. I have had mine 5 years and i have a 4 year old son and a 2 year old. She loves them more than anything, she has never been violent, not even to other dogs that attack her!! Pits are loyal and loving and the horrible people that abuse them and fight them is why they are a “bad” breed.

Comment on Most Powerful Dog in The World by Anthony

I agree with jin the Caucasian Sheperd dog is a very powerful dog, but more so they are more than protective and if you are thinking about buying one you should know exactly what you are doing, all these dogs are for is forceful protection, and if not raised by a experienced handler, you could have a killer on your hands.
The dog weight is well over 200lb with 3 inch teeth, and are very dangerous in the 1 to 2 yr old stage, and need attention daily and handlers who know what they are doing, these dogs are not for the weak are timid if they have the idea they are the alfa in the pack it could turn on the owner and maul them to death, but are the ultament protective animal…………

My family always had dogs. A few months ago I fell in love with a pit bull puppy I named Belle. She has shown no signs of aggression with any animals, only insects. Her favorite game is tug o war but does not nip, play bite etc. She has had a lot of socializing with people and dogs. What I have learned is the people who give me grief about owning a pit don’t have dogs. People like my Vet and others who know much more about dogs than I ever will say things like “she is very well behaved” and it’s a shame this breed has got a bad rap. I hope Belle never shows agression, since I will put her down it that happened, but I can’t see it.

I was wondering why the Jack Russel Terrier is not included in the top 10 most intelligent dog breeds. Is it because it is technically not recognised as a “breed? by the Kennel Clubs ? By far the smartest……they win hands down !

I believe it’s true that some breeds have a bad reputation; but it’s not without reason. It’s not the fault of the dogs, some have been trained to be aggressive. It’s also true that these breeds are not statistically more likely to act aggressively than other breeds – sometimes they are actually less likely to act aggressively. In reality, labradors and cocker spaniels are the breeds that most often act agressively towards people. Often, dogs that attack children have been provoked in some way because children cannot understand the care that they need to take (and they should not have to, they are children after all!). Sometimes, these attacks are completely unprovoked – I experienced this myself as a child, thankfully escaping uninjured.
BUT… Generally, a medium to large dog like a labrador or retriever can apply pressure with their jaws of around 150-250 pounds per square inch. A dog like a pit bull, bull terrier, Akita or Rottweiller (and many others) apply pressure of 1500-2500 pounds per square inch. So if they do attack, they are far more likely to inflict permanent damage or kill.
I am a dog lover, and have friends and relatives who own some of the breeds I’ve mentioned above. They are friendly, loving dogs who are well trained and affectionate. But I am always careful around them, and if I had small children there is no way that I would allow my children to play with these dogs, because I am well aware of the damage they can inflict. It doesn’t matter if they have never shown any signs of aggression before; it only takes one bad day. Perhaps the dog is unwell, or a child accidentally or purposefully hurts, taunts or makes the dog feel threatened in some way – we can never really know what a dog is thinking. That’s all it takes for a child to be scarred for life or killed, and for a good dog to be put to sleep. Why risk either of their lives?
