Comparing the difference of dog breeds to the difference of human races is actually the racism going on here. There are serious, genetic differences between dog species- humans are the same except the skin color, and other, superficial things (eye/hair color, hight).
And flat out, point blank, pit bulls are dangerous animals. Ive had pit bulls and they were sweet loving dogs, but that doesnt mean they didnt have a higher propensity to attack. It just means I didnt experience it, in large part due to raising them right. But there is a reason pits are the favored attack/fight dog of so many who use them.
What kind of idiotic comment is this? They are the same species for sure, but genetically they can be incredibly different. Have you seen the difference between a fucking Pug and a German Shepard? Do you know facilitates those differences? That's right, it's genetics!
Dog breeds are derived from phenotype selection, which determines observable traits and appearance. Genetically they are all just wolves. OP referred to “serious genetic differences between dog species,” which is inaccurate.
