You're definitely creating motivation here. They're gorgeous dogs with beautiful faces, and really good brains, and that's enough for the owners I know.
I get that you think otherwise, and I guess I should re-state that such thinking is totally okay, and I'm not addressing that here. I'm saying that there's rich counter-example to the idea that owners are getting this dog because it's got a bad rep.
Citation needed of course because literally everyone I have ever talked to who owns one of these dogs has justified it by saying that it's a matter of personal defense. So they are getting them as weapons.
Lol no!
"This thing could kill me, or my family, at any time and there'd be nothing I can do to stop it but It'S sO pReTtY 😍"
Yeah. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.
I didn't downvote you, but that's pretty much every woman living with a man.
