Campaigners have welcomed the move to outlaw the breed they argue is "a clear and present threat to public health", but concerns have been raised it may not be practical and lead to other kinds of dogs being prohibited.
The actual issue is that’s it’s a degenerative disease in dogs of similar breeds. At some point they get old and less able to recognize friend from foe. That might be ok if it weren’t for the jaws you mentioned.
I’d go one step farther and even say if they even had the same amount of attacks as other dogs, had no possible mental diseases, and all want to caring homes I would still put restrictions/ban on them.
They are just too large to handle, too big of a bite to brush off, and end up in dog attacks a lot. That’s enough for me.
However the only examples of aggression being related to breed is with Daschands and Yorkies, although the study says that’s likely just to that specific gene also making legs shorter.
While there is a genetic component to aggression, it’s variation is pretty standard amongst all dogs, except the tiny ones who may have accidentally been selected for it.
But someone asked you for a source for a cognitive thing and you just randomly linked an article about how breed doesn’t determine behavior?
Did you know what that article was about before you linked it?___
However, it is also notable that a subset of large breeds carries the chrX reduced-fear/aggression and increased-size variants in perfect LD.
I know reading is hard, friend! I linked that as it was the most interesting thing I found while looking off there were other degenerative diseases common in pitbulls, while not being pitbull specific. Did you think me finding evidence contrary to my beliefs would result in me hiding it?
I’d give you snarky “let me Google that for you” on the degenerative diseases as they’re genuinely interesting, but I guess you’ll never know what they’re about since you can type a comment but not use a search engine.
You’re right, pitbulls are medium not large, sorry. Nevertheless the study was interesting. Again, wasn’t trying to make a point with it, it was the most genuinely interesting thing I found in my short search about the subject of aggression in dogs. Sorry you don’t agree.
I did and put those in the original comment you are being replying to. You just refused to look up anything about them. I have no desire to do your research either, ignorance suits you.

Exactly.

I’m gonna need a source on that.
Cerebellar Cortical Disintegration or Degenerative Myelopathy could exacerbate a situation.
I unexpectedly found this on the genetic mapping of aggression which seemed interesting: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4977763/
That’s a great article…

People were talking about pitbulls, they average 60lbs, they’re not a “subset of large breeds” like Rottweilers who average 120lbs…
You’re not being coherent, just trying to jump between “gotchas”.
Just randomly jumping all over

But since you’re having so much fun chatting with me:

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Degenerative+Myelopathy
So you still couldn’t find anything that agrees with you?
Sorry, not taking the time to help you.
