My brother-in-law breeds pit bulls, and they are some of the sweetest dogs we have ever known. A dogs temperament is a product of his environment.

Pit bulls are awesome. It's people that suck.

Wrong. Genetics do play a role. If the dog is bred incorrectly and comes from an agressive line the environment might not matter.

You know how many of those dogs go to imbeciles who live in apartments and buy a dog that needs a yard?

Opinion < Experience
Pitbulls have the hardware to take down small adults . They were bred for sport -they need specialized owners and the public needs protection from those types.
Breed has been banned in Britain. No need.

I thought eugenics was frowned upon after the Hitler fiasco?
Data shows it conclusively.
"Eugenics" applies only to humans. For the rest of the creatures it's called "selective breeding".
That data takes into account environmental contributors? If not then.
Faulty Data < Experience

Calling bullshit. When you attempt to predict temperament based solely on DNA, it's eugenics.
"The concept predates this coinage, with Plato suggesting applying the principles of selective breeding..."

It’s funny how we have a big problem with breeds of dogs and guns. Yet the idiots controlling them skate free?
Of course--it takes everything into account.
Because you say so... So we're still back to:
your opinion < my experience.
Happy to change my thinking if you have anything substantive to add.
And yes, selective breeding works for achieving desired traits in both animals and humans.
Nope--data is not my opinion.
You're ignoring the obvious, I think because you don't have any data, that was my point. Allow me to demonstrate:
"There is TONS of DATA available that shows pitbulls have no distemperment issues, TONS!!"
You see how ridiculous that looks when I make unsupported suppositions.
See this is data:
http://www.animals24-7.org/2018/01/08/57-dog-attack-deaths-645-disfigurements-in-2017-led-by-pit-bulls/
"The 989 dogs who killed or disfigured people in 2017 accounted for 645 total disfigurements, 14 more than the previous record of 631 who were disfigured in 2016.
Of the disfigurements, 570––four fewer than in 2016––were disfigured by pit bulls, meaning that pit bulls accounted for “only” 88% of the dog attack disfigurements reported in 2017, down from 91% in 2016."
Sure, skin color, eye color, faster runner, better jumper. Physical traits. But you're talking about temperament, mood, disposition, those are character traits. There has never been any research that proved selective breeding makes people or animals think differently
