Why Pit Bulls Are Better Fighting Dogs than Miniature Poodles

Why do the douchebags who engage in dog fighting prefer pit bulls to other breeds? Is it because pit bulls are especially prone to viciousness? No, indeed they are not. You can torture and abuse any breed of dog into a fighting dog. If you put your fighting miniature poodle into the ring, however, it will be a long shot. Pit bulls have powerful jaws and are muscular in their chests and can grapple well with other dogs. Accordingly, they are physically superior to other breeds for close quarters fighting.

It’s actually hard to get a pit bull to become a fighter because they tend to be fairly amiable and retain juvenile traits well into adulthood. It takes torture, quite frankly, and dog fighters are known to kill or abandon most of their dogs as unsuitable for fighting. That’s one of the reasons that they are at the apex of douchebaggery. Urban animal shelters are full of pit bulls who wouldn’t fight.

So when some asshat tells you that pit bulls are dangerous because so many instances of dog fighting have involved pit bulls, tell him to look up the term “spurious relationship”.
