Not always, but they can be pretty dangerous especially if they're not used to having people around
them. |

There is absolutely no such thing as a dog that is born to be a vicious attack dog. It depends on
their upbringing, how they are treated, are they socialized, or are they stuck on a chain in a
back-yard for their entire lives. I've seen aggressive dogs who have no reason to trust humans
because they have not been around very many humans, and I've seen pit-bulls socialized and play with
children. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners. |

Every thing can be dangerous, but the key is to realize they CAN be dangerous. That doesn't mean
they all are. A worm could crawl up your nose and suffocate you while you sleep, but does that mean
that every single worm is to feared? No! |

The owner makes the animal, if it has or has had a bad owner, it will influence the dogs
personality,
i have a pitt bull, German sheppard rotti cross, and something else small...
And it should like a dangerous mix, but hes the softest dog i have ever had, but i recognise that
there is pittbull in him, and if he bites, it will be a hard one,
so we do not leave him unattended with any child,
but he was hand reared, since two weeks, (after being dumped in a park), so is a mummas boy
its nature vs nurture |

That's like saying, "driving is dangerous."
it's not really truly true.
Not all dogs are dangerous, just like not all drivers are dangerous. |

In my town, a toddler was on the porch with the family dog while Mom and Grandma were busy around
back. When they came back to the front, the dog had chewed off the back of the boy’s head --
entirely unprovoked.
The newspaper interviewed dog trainers, who agreed that no dog should be left alone with a young
child. One trainer said, “I wouldn’t leave a Chihuahua alone with a toddler.”
The bottom line is that dogs do not think like humans. As such, what is irrational behavior to us
has reason to them. We call this “unpredictability.”
Yeah, I hear you saying, “MY doggy would never hurt a flea!” Then it’s, “I don’t know what
came over him!” when your pit bull kills the neighbor boy.
All the training in the world cannot overcome a dog’s natural instincts. If it feels threatened by
a 2-year-old, it will kill. |

Sometimes screening doesn't work for seeing who is the best for a certain dog |

Its not the dogs that are dangerous...the owners are the ones that teach the dogs to be vicious or
good. |

There are dogs that are genetically predisposed toward violent behavior. Certainly they aren't born
killers, but they do have a short fuse and attack is their first means of defense rather than their
last. That's not to say there aren't exceptions, I had a wonderful pit-bull/rott mix years back
that was as gentle as they come, but the fact remains, animals are a product of their breeding and
behaviors and instincts are inbred. |

Depends on the dog and their nature. Some dogs are meant to be vicious attack dogs, while some may
just have been treated wrong. More than likely they were treated wrong and are now suffering from
the troubles. |
