guess so. the reason they are chosen over a dashund or retreiver is they are far stronger in body and jaw strength.
settle down champ.
Why not have fights pitting Dachshund against Dachshund? It would be an even playing field and both are apparently very aggressive and temperamental so they should be good fighters.
Nobody is going to change anyones mind here. As the saying goes... Arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics....
I obviously agree that ANY dog or animal can be trained to be aggressive and dangerous and obviously I understand that a pitbull is a tad stronger than a Dachshund.
Your stupid questions cease to amaze me. Why don't you ask the idiots who are fighting dogs in the first place why they don't fight dachshunds? Oh i don't know maybe because they are sick ***** who like to see dogs tear into each other (i.e. stronger dogs = pitbulls). And, it's not just pitbulls - I'm sure you have no idea about dogs but lately a lot of fighting has been with rottweilers, and this even stronger breed than pitbulls known as "Presa Canarios". But, I'm sure you would have NOOO idea about them because they tend to be rare, and not many who fight dogs can afford that breed.

Agreed
That Dachshund yapping and snarling doesn't exactly harm anyone either.
So explain to me why Pitbulls, Rots etc are then chosen as the dog of choice for dog-fighting etc? What makes them a better choice over the, apparently more aggressive, Dachshund or Retriever?
Because that dachshund doesn't have the body like a pitbull that makes people naturally afraid and want to run and do things that excite a dog. Next time a dachshund is going crazy run away from it and scream -- it'll probably attack you --albeit it won't hurt at all, it all still boils down to the owner being able to control the dog.
Pitbulls are naturally better herders/can take more pain than any other dog just like certain birds are better at flying than others. BUT its still how you train it that will teach it that it's not good to attack.

Wait what?!!? Rots fight too? Thanks for the input! LOL So emotional some people get over discussions.
BTW, check your sarcasm meter.
Edit: Also the correct phrase is "never cease to amaze me"

I know a bunch of people with pitbulls and they are friendly as any other dog. Its just what the media wants to put out there. If it was another dog they probably wouldnt be all over it.
Why does the media hate pitbulls? Are they republican supporters?

pit owners or not. I guess I just don't hang around that type.
But the people I know who own pits:
a few families
some female college students
and young couples
very sweet dogs, came from the shelter I volunteer at.

Sigfried and Roy have lions that are friendly too. However, they tend to be a bit more aggressive in their nature don't ya think? Sure any animal can be "trained" to be friendly and docile, but that simply doesn't mean that their natural tendencies are not prone towards aggressiveness.
All dogs "natural" tendencies are to be aggressive towards anything (like most animals) but the fact of the matter is that it IS how you train them. Sure a poodle can attack too its just that its eaiser to defend yourself against a poodle so it's not as publicized as when a stupid owner's pitbull makes a mistake. It doesn't help that some people have given pitbulls a bad name by labeling them "the fighting dog" and putting them in videos to seem ferocious, etc.
Ummm I think you are missing the point. Pitbulls, as a species of dogs are naturally MORE agressive than (as your example) a poodle are.
Ohhhh is that right? Because you are smarter than actual people who test dog's temperments for a living right??
The American Temperament Test Society seeks to evaluate the temperaments of dogs using a standardized test. They have a description of the test that details the situations that they put dogs in. Now, there are obviously some issues with the tests, such as judgment of the judges, the relative excitability of each dog when undergoing a test (they know something is going on), and the type of person to submit their dog to such a test probably thinks that their dog is fairly well-behaved.
They also list the percentage of dogs that pass and fail the tests based on breed. IT was discovered that based on relative temperament as percentage of pass or fail, pit bulls came in 116th out 202 breeds for having bad temperaments. A Dachshund has a worse temperament according to ATTS than a pit bull. In fact, a pit bull is comparable (scoring slightly better) in temperament to a golden retriever.

Yup. Pitbull owners are more likely to have criminal backgrounds.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15755870/
Studies of pitbulls have found that, as a breed, they are no more aggressive than other "docile" breeds such as beagles and bearded collies.

I have never had a pitbull nor would I, especially with children. Just asking for an accident.
