      Good for you. That doesn’t change the statistics, so I’m not sure why you think your comment is relevant.

          “Any large breed can be dangerous if trained to be” is vastly different from “this breed is dangerous unless trained not to be, and even then, it’s iffy.”

          Anyone who thinks that a breed of dogs bred specifically for fighting has no innate traits for fighting has no idea what they are talking about.

              I’m sure an animal bred to fight makes sure it only fights the four-legged ones. 🙄

              Not all large breeds are dangerous in the same way. Trying to pretend they are against all the evidence to the contrary is either disingenuous or ignorant.

                  Yeah, you really have no idea what you’re talking about. That’s not how genetics or dogs work. You’re also building strawman and I can’t be bothered any more.

                  Keep on showing off your level of understanding if that floats your boat. You’re part of the problem.
