When I was in high school, it seems like the breed of choice for the "culture of poverty" crowd was Rottweilers.
But now it's pits. There's something psychological between people who feel disenfranchised and misunderstood, that draws them towards that breed. I've seen it in my employees and even my own family. It's more than just the "tough" aspect. It's the underdog mentality or something. I'll take a Dobie or a Rottie any day. |

The dipshit neighbors pit bull got my wife's weiner dog week before last. I had to have both her upper jaw bones removed, almost all her teeth were lost and her nasal cavities had to be stitched up because the were ripped open to her mouth. I also had to pay to have their fence repaired again to try and insure that dog doesn't get in my yard again. This is the second time in two years. Last time it put holes all in my schnauzer and removed several pieces of his mouth. It's sad after all these years I'm too scared to let my daughter play in the backyard anymore. I think I'm going to take my attorneys advice and we will be sending something to the base commander since they don't seem to care. |

I had a mutt once that was a shepherd/hound mix and it was my young son's job to feed and water the dog. I witnessed the dog try to bite him in the face and promptly tied the dog on the back of my truck, took it to my uncles farm and put 3 rounds of 30/06 into it's chest. Any dog that bites a human or tries to bite a human for no reason should be put down.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
This is the problem. Nobody cares about little nips from lapdogs. Even a normal pet breed usually bites with front canines and then backs up. Pits instinctively know how to bite, deep in the jaw, to get a crushing full mouth hold. They are good at it, because they were bred to be good at it...its not just propensity to bite, but rather their ability in biting thats the problem. They are more likely to produce severe and disfiguring injuries than say a lab. It is what it is, and its not the dogs fault as its what they were bred to do. If they were extinct it would be fine by me. There is nothing they do other dogs cant do better, except the one skill they earn their reputation from. That, and the many instances of just flipping a switch one day out of the blue makes them a very poor choice for a pet. my neighbor across the street have a $600,000 mcmansion and a pit bull they have to walk the piece of shit with a muzzle on it so it won't chew other dogs in half wow, what a swell dog. where do I sign up?
I grew up in dutch country, every single redneck had a crazy inbred german shepherd fucking worthless dogs I knew a family where the shepherd bit their child's face and disfigured the kid. THEN THE DOG DID IT AGAIN, BIT THE KIDS FACE AGAIN. If it was up to me, both parents would be stripped naked and bullwhipped to within an inch of their life if you can't accept reality, then reality should be bullwhipped into your skin I can't stand when the stupidity of adults is paid for by a child |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's not just pits that snap. My brother bought a springer spaniel from a breeder. He was out in the field working the dog with a bird. My brother reached for the bird and he said it was like a switch was flipped. The dog went full retard. My brother said it was a knock down drag out brawl. He said he couldn't even get his knife out of his pocket. Suddenly the dog stopped, looked at him and started wagging its tail like everything was fine. He took the dog to the vet, had the dog put down, drove to the hospital to get his hands stitched up. I firmly believe my weimaraner is nothing but a gentle soul who only wants the love and attention of humans (literally, she couldn't give two fucks about other dogs), but at the end of the day I still acknowledge the fact that she is a dog, and still has the potential to be unpredictable. As a result I keep a close eye on her around strangers and children. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
and you're drinking the kool-aid. The CDC counts all "bites". Pit Bulls don't bite, they maul. I responded to countless dog "bites" in my time in law enforcement, but I remember every single one done by a Pit. They were all BAD and almost always involved children and the head, face, neck. That's not a media exaggeration, that's my personal experience. Thanks for playing. It's not just fatalities, but a huge difference between a bite/nip that might break skin and draw blood vs being savaged to the point of needing many stitches and/or reconstructive surgery. It's the difference between firecrackers and sticks of old dynamite (that may or may not be sweating pure nitroglycerin). Kids can get hurt with either one, but one of them has a much higher chance of resulting in far more severe injuries/death. Max |

People always say it's not the breed but the owners. What a complete lie. Pit bulls were bread to attack. It will always be in the breed. Similar how labs like water. In 99.9% of the cases the dog that attacks family memebers (all breeds) its because they are either already the alpha of the pack or feel they have a good shot at challenging that position. This happens mostly with weak people, especially those that "spoil" their "pet". My dog isnt allowed inside the house, let alone sit where I sit, eat where I eat, sleep where I sleep. Thats not true for a lot of people that have thier dog on the livign room sofa, then act surprised when the dog doesnt understand its position in the family. |

Dogs were/are bred for certain purposes. Bird dogs hunt, usually birds, but can be taught to hunt other things. Hounds hunt animals that run on the ground/climb trees.
Dogs there were bred to attack people and large violent animals will do that. Having been around bird dogs all my life (for the most part) I like their easy going nature. I don't trust many other breeds of dogs. I've been bit by my own dogs, but only when trying to break up a fight, or, one time, trying to get out from under a dog fight. The folks that live across the street from my mom have a couple of pit bulls, and three small kids. I sure hope those kids get to grow up whole and un-scarred. |

You never know with dogs. Hell do you know what daschund's were originally bred for? Most don't. They were bred to go into fox and badger holes. Ever seen one get pissed off and fight another dog? They can twist their head around and come up under the neck of the other dog quick. They are hound dogs and very stubborn which is part of their breed yet in a dog fight their size or not much bigger than they are they win due to breeding. A lot is breeding yet how they are raised also has a lot to do with it. How many people have been killed by dachshund attacks? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I love dogs but I've got more stories about pitbulls than I have good sense. I've been bitten 4 times in my life. Once by my GSD. He was sleeping on me and dreaming. I was drunk and petting him and he bolted upright and snapped at me, his tooth caught the edge of my forehead and pierced the skin. He later bit my wife...... But that's another story. The 3 other times were pits. No provocation. The worst was a party, the dog was big, sleeping. He woke up and zeroed in on me like a laser. I'm a big guy with really long hair and a beard. He grabbed my left leg thank God, because it's prostetic. I tried to pull him off and he latched onto my hand and wouldn't let go..... What a shit show ! Everybody is screaming. HE WOULD NOT LET GO ! I tried choking him, people are pulling on him.... Blood is pouring out of my hand. (They had to replace the carpet after this) I put both knees on him with my full body weight and he ran out of air. He had no history before. The owner begged me not to report this. My hand was broken and black and blue for 7 weeks. It's been 9 years and I can still see faint scars from the puncture wounds. I'm not going to generalize or condem...... But if the breed goes extinct, I'll throw a little party. That one never did anything like that either. Attached it's own master. Oh, and that "nursery dog bullshit", is just that, bullshit. They bit people back then too, that's why they fell out of popularity. |

I've known several pits that are like overgrown lapdogs. My nephews pit inpaticular loves me too death (no pun intended). One of the best damn dogs I have seen. The flipside is I live in the country where there isnt a leash law with lots or strays and dump off dogs roaming around. Guess which breed kills more livestock and other dogs. That's right the pitbull. It's impressive and scary as fuck to see one of dogs in action. It just won't quit until the other animal is dead. |
