Pitbulls

No purebred breed is natural. And very few dog breeds are used for their original intent. Someone else referenced the bull dog. I have a cocker spaniel. Cocker spaniels were bred to be hunting dogs. I don't hunt. Neither does my dog.

And again, there have been many dogs classified as "pit bulls" that are not genetically pit bulls. This has skewed the reports of pit bull attacks. Another poster pointed out the reputation of these dogs has been affected by bad owners, newspaper stories and urban legend.

I don't deny that Pit bulls are capable of doing harm. So can any other dog. It is a combination of breeding, temperment and the dog's handler that contributes to the animal's destructive traits and good qualities.

It also goes without saying that no child should ever be left unsupervised with any animal, whether pit bull or golden retriever. And yes, people do come before dogs.

Cocker spaniels were bred as gun dogs to flush out woodcock birds according to http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americancocker.htm

They were never bred to kill a large animal in a viscious manner.

And if we can create a breed, we can stop creating that breed. There is no reason to keep it going since it's not natural and it can be dangerous.

Most people would gladly fight a cocker spaniel over a pit bull any day of the week.
