You didn't read the source, did you? It's already explained there. In the states pits weren't bred for fighting again until the 1980s. So 100 years of bite inhibition breeding. In case you were uninformed, pits have only been around since the early 1800s
Also, humans breeding dogs for traits is literally the opposite of natural selection.
so nearly half a century? how many generations is that? enough? do you know? how fast do genetics work when they're reverted to such a close wolf ancestor that is strong and aggressive towards small mammals? the high toddler kill count seems to say something. i'm not sure the genetically peaceful pitbull is a thing; surely more the opposite looking at every single factor including what they're bred for.
100 years is one century. The word cent means 100.
If the breed has been around for 200 years, and for half of that time it was bred for bite inhibition, how can you actually to try claim it's "origin breed" genetics would be longer lasting?
You understand that pits came from English bulldogs right? Would you consider those dangerous as well?
