I am afraid you have no idea what you are talking about and that is obvious judging by the above regurgitated statement that I have heard literally hundreds of times. Most breeds that are "pure" breeds are just that.....they were "designed" for special purposes through breeding. Some of these purposes were for aggression.....it's as simple as that. Their ancestor breeds were selected and combined because they possessed certain desired traits that helped achieve the desired end result.
I've seen this discussion more times than I care to remember and sometimes they get pretty heated. Some people just love certain breeds and will defend them with all kinds of generic half truths. Pitbull lover....."more people are bitten by Labrador retrievers every year than pitbulls" Correct!....and very misleading! It is the law of numbers and statistics. There are simply waaaaaay more labs in the world than there are pitbulls so it only stands to reason that they would be responsible for more of the dog bites. What they won't mention is that lab bites rarely result in serious maulings or deaths like many pitbull attacks do.
Don't get me wrong....I love dogs. I even rescued a pitbull once and he was raised and handled with love and kindness. Did not change the fact that there were very few other dogs he would tolerate. He also could peel open a chain link kennel like a can opener (never seen a lab do that). He still ended up attacking my son's biological father. He was familiar with the dog and had always been kind to him. The attack was not severe but nothing says it couldn't have been. My son has moved out on his own and has the dog with him. After that he spent alot of time and money with obedience school which seems to have helped a little. They can be very loving dogs and in my opinion. ...still can't be trusted.
To the OP.....wouldn't suprise me if the smell of coyote on you bothers the neighboring dogs. I would certainly take whatever legal steps necessary to protect yourself should one of these dogs get loose or end up in close proximity to you.
i have trained dogs for years. dont try and tell me about how dogs act. Pit Bulls are sissies compared to a cur or catahoula. and i bet you anything there are more bites from a cur or catahoula than anything. difference is that most of those bites are made to a good ol' country boy who isnt a city boy who cries when bit by a dog. i have been bitten more than i could ever count. heck, i got bit yesterday. i just make sure they know who the man is before i leave. and most of the time it doesnt happen again.
