A husky or a coonhound will do the same.
>>4932870Exactly why pretending breeds have differences is insane. Anyone who would claim that a pibble, husky, or coonhound WOULDN'T attack a small animal knows nothing about those breeds.
>>4932870ANY dog that wasnt retarded or insane would go for any rabbit. So would most men who arent softy city boy faggots. Rabbits exist to be eaten by dogs.
>>4932910And dogs exist for their hearts to host heartworms.
>>4932919Only in third world shitholes. Heartworm doesnt exist where white people live. Rabbits die everywhere. Its the only reason they exist. Even cats kill them.
>>4932922Rabbits exists because they are an extremely succesful and evolutionary fit animal.
>>4932960sure are easy to hit with a rock tho
>>4932878>pretending breeds have differences is insanethere are obviously behavioural and physical differences between breeds. e.g. pointing behaviour, herding instincts, baying. It would be a suspension of disbelief for me to exclude specifically aggression from this.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18179880/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26401333/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34368281/
>>4934512heightened aggression does NOT mean aggression doesn't exist in lower statesyou are an idiot. A purveyor of the false dichotomy
>>4934525I only said that aggression is subject to behavioural genetics in dogs, not that it is a dichotomy.>pretending breeds have differences is insaneIf this was you, it's ironic that you're now trying to say I'm arguing a dichotomy/false dichotomy.
>>4934528that was not meI agree breed differences exist including aggressionbut the baseline is still pretty fucking aggressiveI have 2 small dachshunds that regularly kill animals bigger than them
>>4934512attacking small animals literally is not aggression. neurologically its closer to play. a dog that wrecks cats and rabbits is literally not an aggressive sig.
>>4934530Absolutely, I agree.>>4934534see >>4934528I was only arguing against saying there are no differences between breeds.
>>4934534Do you think pitbulls are generally more aggressive towards people than other breeds?
>>4934539No. Their prey drive is hopped up so far that they hunt and kill people for fun. Pitbulls pass every test for being non-aggressive but whenever a kid runs screaming they go for the throat. That’s behavior expected of wolf mixes.
>>4934540Cool, I buy that; you're saying that pit bulls see it the same as any other prey animal. Personally, I just see that as a technicality though. If you're saying they're not aggressive towards humans, they're just playing while they disembowel children, I think most people would agree that it doesn't matter whether the dog is having fun or not.
>>4934544It does, actually. Because people honestly believe pitbulls that don’t show dominance or fear aggression are perfectly safe. Even greyhounds are safer around children than pitbulls. It’s like owning a wolfdog. No amount of good manners can abate their base instincts.
>>4934512I a word, I meant>>pretending breeds *don't* have differences is insanethat's why the rest of my post disagreed with that, my bad
