Bred to insanity is also false, they are simply bred with less stable temperments. A properly bred pit bull is a very stable dog, who is very friendly to people and can be good with other dogs, but can also have problems with them.
Um you're kinda also proving my point. 'Bred to insanity' is basically people poorly breeding a dog, not caring about temperment or stability of the mental health of the dog, I'm talking about the people who would be black market breeders for fighting dogs or generally worse than a puppymill because they don't want 'nice friendly dogs'. Basically like the fighting bulls Spain has. You could deem the creatures 'near insane' for the amount of rage they have.
This is false, there is no such thing as the "taste of blood" trait. Dogs who have bitten or even mauled have been rehabilitated into stable dogs, example: Micheal Vicks pits, they were taken from him for dog fighting and all had obviously been in a fight before, so they have tasted blood.
Not so- as not all dogs can be rehabilitized and not all dogs are ever safe again around pets. As I said it depends on the DOG as well as the breed :/ I'm not saying 'once they get a taste for blood all dogs of xx breed go insane for it', but alot are still dangerous, even after being rehabilitated like this- saw a special and while one pit was perfectly sane and nice around people, around other dogs? not so much.

No you don't understand what I'm saying. And I didn't clarify it, she doesn't let them run wild as in 'run like wild dogs', she lets them run wild as in like you would let a dog run wild in the backyard, with no supervision. Meaning they hunt small game. So she posted how this one wolfhound who was so sweet and loving, suddenly turned into this dangerous animal to anything non wolfhound or human, after it got a taste of blood. That's what I meant :/
I've come into contact with and worked with wolf hybrids who are more stable then some chuhuahuas are. As a matter of fact there are ZERO regulations on hybrids usually. The hybrids are also not normally fed dog food. they're fed a mix of raw meat and dog food. So wouldn't that mean they'd become blood thirsty and start mauling their keepers? Domestic dogs are often fed the same thing. Wouldn't that mean the same for them?
Again you're not understanding the point. It's less RAW FOOD more, taste of blood via ATTACKING something. IE
ATTACKING something and getting the thrill/taste for it, not just the blood. but it's easier to coin the term
Getting a taste of blood as usually once that happens most dogs do warp. Mean I even had a Borzoi that warped a bit once he did, he never bit really, then once he bit me he seemed to like continuing to be 'rough' and get 'rougher' until we finally had to just rehome him [this ontop of the teasing he received from nieghborhood kids too]
and off topic I really don't support wolf hybrids, as they are usually what starts the 'wolf hate', they have no fear for man usually, which again can lead to attacks, and they can attack normal pets.
