oh sure, doesn't have anything to do with breeding for prey drive making them good at retrieving either
they also excel at scent work too...perhaps we should change the name to labrador scenters.
pretty good at pointing too..because of...wait for it.....prey drive! yey! stunned they aren't called pointers..odd really.
guess what, you still teach a lab to retrieve even if it is unwittingly.
I would be willing to bet "pit bulls" don't do so hot with their original breed name/purpose either without training...managing cattle.
And on that note pdaddy, then I gotta go with what I know too. I've literally never dealt with a single pit bull mauling. One rottie mauling that was pretty bad and one decently bad mauling by a shepherd mix. I've met an overwhelming amount of very friendly, well trained pits.
But again, the original question wasn't whether or not pits are a bad dog. It was what public perception was and given that this is going about 99% negative towards the breed group then that answers the question doesn't it.
