    I should remind my pitbull of that fact then. He’s super sweet around children, guess he forgot to attack them all this time 🤷‍♂️

      Not against pits (have a sweet 5 year old brindle boxer-pit mix myself), just was indicating what a lot of redditors basically would basically say whenever the whole idea of pits was brought up, and how I was almost always annoyed by it because it was in the realm of absolutes (pit mixes can be aggressive, but in fairness I’ve seen a few traditionally easy breeds be super aggressive). Apparently that seems to have been continued on lemmy as well. For reference, I’m talking about someone posting a vid or a pic of a pit mix doing something cute or innocuous and then one of the top comments would be how violent pits are.

        It would never happen, the same as if I owned any other large breed. I would take extra care with my dog around anyone.

        Note: My girl has never even looked at anything angrily, she will aggressively sniff you though!
