are staffie/pit bull type terriers dangerous is it true that they have killer instinct towards small2007-11-25 2:58:59

how come they are usually ok with humans?

Answers:

They are only as dangerous as their owners. They can have killer instinct towards small animals, just as a golden retriever can.

They have big teeth and big personalities.

Killer instinct? - give them the hamster to play with and you'll find out!

That is not true as long as they have been raised right and treated right their whole life, now if you were to go out and get one as a pup it is going to act like you raised it. they are just like any other dog. You can make any dog aggressive, small, medium and large dogs. just love them and they will love you back.

I have 3 american pit bull terriers and 1 teacup chiuahua and 2 of the pits are grown and 1 is about 6 months old, the chuiuahua is a baby and i have had him for a month. they are all in the house and they all play in the yard together, now you tell me.

how the dog is raised will determine how the dog turns out. all dogs have a killer instinct as this is how dogs hunt but raising them well means that you should never see this.

---

any dog can be dangerous, the most common dog bites are from collies and labrodors.

however - it is only the owners training techniques which can determine a dogs behaviour.

---

they are bred to hunt and kill.

its how they are brought up.. i have a english bull and he loves everthing..

---

it depends on their socialization as puppies. some breeds do have a high "prey instinct" that is hard to train out of them. a pit and a cat are not apt of live in harmony. once a human lets the dog know who is alpha dog, the dog will probably not be aggressive to a human.

no, they are not dangerous, they all have some level of animal agression. if anyone tells you different, they don't know the breed. they are great with people. there is a difference between animal agression and human agression.

It is a myth. Dogs do what they are trained to do. Or they are a product of their environment.
