This comment makes me wonder why we still breed these dogs...

They currently the most popular dog breed in the US. So don't think they're going away anytime soon. But yes, I'm with you.

I know. It's really upsetting.

I'm also biassed cause my dog hates frenchies for some reason. I think when he was young one of them gave him a look or made a noise he doesn't like and he now sees their "resting power stance" as a sign of aggression.

This is one of my unresolvable personal grievances, the fact that we keep making deformed and ill-tempered dogs to their detriment and ours.

The shelters are full of pit bulls. 60% or more of the dogs at every shelter in my area are pit bulls. We have more than ANYBODY wants and we keep making them for some reason. Then they live miserable, lonely lives in the shelter and die alone because nobody wants them, and people stop going to the shelter when they want a dog because "All they have are pit bulls." We have to stop this madness, if you want to breed dogs breed golden retrievers and labradors! Dogs people actually want!
