I read many opinons and i think the owner is guilty for aggression of pitbull dog
Is pitbull aggresive breed or people make it aggressive? What You think?
Pit bulls were not Bred for Fighting. They were actually bred for family dogs. Believe it or not. It isn't in there blood to harm. It is when the owner treats them wrongly. The reason pit bull kill is because they have lock jaws which means when the bite something they have to rip through it. I used to have a pit bull puppy and he was as sweet as can be. My Pomeranian was more aggressive than him. There have not been any incidents with him, meaning he never bit anyone, even as a puppy. They can be trained not to hurt but you have to understand that they will not tolerate aggressive behavior.
Heavens, although I do agree with you regarding training and a few other points you have made here, there are two things that you need to be aware of. I am not trying to be argumentative here but I take researching and understanding breeds thoroughly, quite seriously.
One is, they do not have "lock jaw." That is a bacterial disease that affects the nervous system, and is most often associated with humans. Most pitbulls do have a hinged jaw which allows them to grab and hold onto their prey different than any other breed out there. It is very difficult to break that hold once it is firmly in place. The other is, unfortunately they were originally bred to be a fighting dog. People who fought dogs were looking for the ultimate fighting dog and experimented by mixing quite a few breeds in a trial and error sort of way. They were ALSO bred to be excellent companions to humans because someone had to be able to handle and control the dog. The intent, and their purpose, was to fight other dogs and be obedient to, and easily controlled by, their owners.
I have been a dog groomer for the last 10 years and I own 2 pit bulls. I would gladly choose a pit to groom any day over most small breeds. None of the pit bulls I groom have been aggressive. However most small dogs I groom are. I also own a cocker spaniel that I would never leave unattended around my children but my kids can play with my pit bulls and climb all over them with out so much as a growl or whimper out of them. I think all dogs have the ability to be good dogs it just depends on their training and environment.

I feel the same way cuz I have a blue pitbull and she is nice as ever
I believe Pit Bulls are a breed for more experienced owners. Taking on the responsibility of this breed means understanding their strength and the potential for damage. It means spending a lot of time socializing them to animals and people, and never letting down your guard.
I personally like the breed in general, but I also watched one kill one of my cats. (It was my fault, I was evaluating him for a shelter, and had discovered he was animal aggressive. I was in the process of reporting this and recommending this dog not be put up for adoption. The cat had gotten into the room without my knowing it.)
I have noticed many owners tend to fall into one of two categories: the macho man who wants an equally macho dog and is proud of the dog's strength and agression. The other extreme is the owner who is out to prove what a pussycat the breed really is, and has a false sense of security. The good owners fall somewhere in the middle--they appreciate the outgoing and confident nature of the breed, but they know how powerful they are and the owners are always vigilant. Obedience and good manners are practiced daily, and the dog is never unsupervised with children.
Any dog doesnt matter the breed is not born agressive,
any dog doesnt matter the breed that is raised well will never attack a human being,
a dog will act according to his/her masters wishes,
I adopted a staffie about a year back, she was lovely, simply the best dog ever,
however she had one major defect, she was extremely aggressive towards over dogs, whenever she laid eyes on one she would go crazy, literally mad, she wouldnt even bark properly she'd just screech with rage,
so after finding this out we decided to conact the place we got her from, we found out that she was used for dog fighting, ofcourse this broke my heart, knowing that our cute little jazz had been introduced to a world of violence and pain, when we first got her we noticed scratches and marks which we think are now wounds from her previous "life",
however instead of giving her back, we wanted to take care of her, and train her to get along with other dogs, so for 4/5 months we went to these dog training class's, she eventually got a little better, until i took the final plunge myself and introduced her to one of my friends dogs completely face to face, and ofcourse she barked and screech'd as i assumed she would, but when she saw that i wanted for her to get to know this dog and be calm she immediately was quite, looking up at me with her big staffie smile, and now i go on walks with other friends and their dogs without worrying about her attacking/barking at them,
basically what im trying to say is, no dog is bad, they are raised that way, however, no dog can not be changed,
you know what? i had a friend of mine over a couple months ago, the first time being to my house, around my dog, and she was petting him, he was licking her, she was doing fine with him telling me how well behaved and gentlemanly he was...then she says "what breed is he?" pitbull.....then "oh no" and she backs away like he will attack and tear her to shreds at any second. i just about kicked her out of my house. But the God in me (and my husband) held me back. so of course it's the owner of the dog who controls the turnout of the personality. my husband and i taught him to never play too aggressively when we have toys, and what do you know, now that he has a playmate, he barely grazes her. it's definitely all in the teaching.
Any dog is capable of vicious tendencies, even your neighborhood golden retriever. I myself was attacked by a Labrador. In fact right now the number one biters are dachshunds. Some can just be more dangerous then others if they do turn. Pitt Bulls as a breed do have the potential to cause harm, especially if those tendencies are fostered, but they also have the capacity for great love. Pitt Bulls use to be the all American farm dog, but now sadly all that the media allows you to see are the killers. Breeding also plays a large part in the makeup of a dogs personality. "Game bred" pitt bulls or dogs from these lines are much more likely to become more aggressive. If you are interested in getting a pitt bull,I would suggest ONLY getting one from a reputable breeder, and meeting the parents to get a feel of how the puppies may be. If you get one from the guy in the parking lot, you may be buying "game" bred dogs.
I might have to take you up on that offer soon.
