It’s pretty wild how even after like 1 or 2 generations of not being “purebred” they just become really sweet and playful. Maybe still have a bit more prey drive than other dogs, but it really wouldn’t be hard to “kill the Pit” by just shutting down the breeders and letting them become normal dogs.
That’s just a characteristic of terriers in general. I am a bit dismayed by the fact so many hexbears are STILL perpetuating stereotypes about pitbulls, clearly none of them watched the video.
I was agreeing with you, my only issue is with the entire concept of purebred dogs. Since that comes not only with health issues, but also socializing and training that fits them into the mold of that purebreed.
With Pitbulls, that tends to be training them to be fighting dogs. There are like 3 breeders around me that breed fighting dogs, and they’re all the pit breed.
Fighting dogs tend to be a mix of many bully breeds and others including German shepherd and mastiff. Pits were originally just a generic working dog. Before the stigma around them arose they were well regarded as loyal family dogs.
Still not good to be breeding fighting dogs, and definitely not good to be branding them as pits. It’s a self re-enforcing feedback loop.
I have a lot of friends with pits, and have no issues with them btw. I just hate purebreds lol. They shouldn’t exist and the practice of animal eugenics is disgusting and unnecessary.
Oh absolutely no argument there, but the scope of this thread spiraled way out of what the original point was: BadEmpanada is a reactionary, racist, transphobic, ableist piece of shit.
Wait, is that what this thread is about? My comment is from over 2 weeks ago and I don’t remember bringing BE into it at all lol.
I’m just always going to voice my opinion that we shouldn’t have dog eugenics whenever I see any breed related thread.
oh no I found this thread because I went to post the video because I only found out because, well… Prepare for psychic damage, I thought your reply was in the thread from today lmao https://hexbear.net/post/9624079
