Now on a random encounter with a dog what should be my logical response be if that dog ends up being a pitbull? Raise or lower my awareness? Raise is the obvious answer. Now does it matter if its the owner faults that pits have a violent reputation, who cares, that doesn't change the situation.

A month or so ago i was doing some rounds at some rental property, there is a empty pitch black old school barn on the property (that no one is supposed to use). I heard some noises from the barn, so i walk in. I find 2 pits barking their asses off at me. Luckily they were chained up and not able to get to me. Did i shoot them just because they were a few feet away, barking like crazy animals at me and because they are pitbulls? NO. Like any situation you assess the situation and move on. In this situation i blame the owners for their aggression, because if i was chained up in the pitch black rolling in my own piss i would be pissed off too!

For whatever its worth, i ran into one of the same dogs a week or so later and it was a really sweet dog (at that moment at least).
Sorry Danny. I made the same mistake I called you all out for. I blamed everybody for what someone said. This wasn't towards you, the whole pitbulls are bad theory just gets me fired up. It's ridiculous.

If you treat any dog like the two pitbulls you just mentioned, any breed, they will be stressed out, and aggressive. Like I said, you only hear about the bad cases out there with pitbulls, cause they do damage. My little girl she loves to play rough, and she knows her limits but even she doesnt know what she's capable of.

You never hear on the news when little Billy goes over to his best friends house and the family's dog Skipper, a poodle, bit him and scratched him a little.

Every dog bites, it's the amount of power or stress they have that makes the difference.
