This is anything but a unique trait for pit bulls. Several breeds of dogs will do this.Show me the vid when your angry neighbor slaps you in the face and what your pit bull does in response.
One time I was goofing with my neighbor and I was afraid I was going to lose my arm when his lovable pit bull started growling when I reached for my neighbor's shoulder.
Try it with a German Sheppard and he would have bitten you.Show me the vid when your angry neighbor slaps you in the face and what your pit bull does in response.

Chihuahuas are dogs?I have a Pit mix and she is the most chill dog ever... oh, and also the most agressive dog ever!! Don't let that vid fool you into complacency.
My dog, Sierra, is friendly as heck to anyone that comes into our house. She will also be very timid towards inanimate objects (like that clock). Same with any dog that is nice and mellow. That is... She will be fine with it until your dog does the smallest thing that could be interpreted as agression. Then Sierra responds in kind. Does it matter that she is 60lbs and you have a 6lb chiuahua? Not to her... The other dog started it, she will finish it.
you haven't been around many GS......have you?

German shepperds are guard dogs. And they are guard dogs for a reason.you haven't been around many GS......have you?
Pitbulls used to be banned in Holland. After a while they realized how little sense the law made and they have now lifted it.
I'm sure I'll be reamed by the learned behavior crowd, but this is the dog personality type that causes problems. The ones that get scared too easily. Dogs attack when they have a panic reaction. They don't do it for fun.Here is our pit vs our wall clock. People really have the wrong idea about this breed. Enjoy.
I dont mean to be offensive, but u obviously dont have the feintest id what ur talking about...I'm sure I'll be reamed by the learned behavior crowd, but this is the dog personality type that causes problems.

No, Woody is correct.I dont mean to be offensive, but u obviously dont have the feintest id what ur talking about...
Ive read a great deal about the subject, and i have a reasonable amount of personal experiance with the breed.
Behaviour like this has nothing to do with troublesome behaviour that is associated with so called dangerous dog breeds.
Its uneducated opinions like this, fed by the media or bad intel, that gives pitbulls a bad name.
Please try to refrain from this nonsense in the future, youre causing harm in areas you know nothing about.
Before you go swinging a cactus, I've lived with several dogs. I like dogs. The only ones to ever bite me, other than playful nips, have been the nervous type. I'm not hating on a particular breed. Just commenting that the dog pictured above is afraid of something which poses no threat. I don't find it all that cute.I dont mean to be offensive, but u obviously dont have the feintest id what ur talking about...

:facepalm:Our pit aggressive towards other dogs, so (being the responsible dog owners we are) we don't bring her around other dogs. We take her on walks when there are less likely to be other people walking their dogs etc. We haven't had any problems because of this and she is 8 years old now.
I haven't ever seen her be aggressive towards people. She is the most loving dog you will ever meet.
She was wagging her tail the whole time. This is how she plays with our other dog when it is laying down. Pretty standard behavior when our pit is playing. You are reading into this a little too much. She has never bit a person in her 8 years of life, even while playing, she closed mouth bonks you with her face.Before you go swinging a cactus, I've lived with several dogs. I like dogs.

No, Woody is correct.
Aside from dogs that are trained specifically to be aggressive, dogs with little confidence are the ones that generally bite. They attack because they do not know what else to do. They bite out of fear. They lack social skills. Total Heckler confirmed this already by stating that this pitty is not good with other dogs. This has nothing to do with his breed. See how the other dog in the video walks through the frame and pays no attention to the clock?
I live in Ontario where the relatively recent pitbull ban has caused a lot of controversy (the place where Mmike posted the article about). I have been actively against it from day one. I agree with you that the groups who give certain breeds a bad rap will simply move onto another breed (and they have...bullmastiffs and dogue de bordeauxs are next).
BTW, awesome dog Total Heckler You clearly understand your dogs "issues" and as a responsible owner take steps to ensure other dogs are safe.
