MYTH: It is better to adopt a Pit Bull puppy instead of an adult.
MYTH: It is dangerous to adopt a Pit Bull that has an unknown history and parentage from a rescue or shelter, rather than buying a Pit Bull from a breeder. MYTH: A Pit Bull that is aggressive toward other dogs will also be aggressive toward humans. MYTH: Pit Bulls are all inherently vicious. MYTH: Pit Bulls have locking jaws. Myths and Facts about the mysterious canine death machine otherwise known as the Pitbull breed https://www.petfinder.com/pet-adoption/dog-adoption/myths-and-facts-about-pit-bulls/ |

Out of the calls I've had to responded to regarding a dog attacking a child, the pit bull has been involved most often. Just my .02 anecdotal evidence.
|
|
Personally, I think the first three are absolutely true and common sense. And I would say true for just about any dog.
|

Mrs.Robin Rock is not an geneticist and does not have any breeding history other then her "rescue" work.
It would be wise for people to read up on Dmitry Belyaev and the Soviet fox experiments to get a better understanding of domestication and the regression of animal breeds. Shit heads have been selectively breading shithead pitbulls for the last couple decades are now the chickens are coming home to roost.

MYTH: Pitbulls eat toddlers.
Pitbulls only chew up toddlers. They rarely swallow them. |

Fact:
Pit Bulls can quickly kill most anything when/if they get pissed, ill, altered, or simply want to screw something up. Fact: Having an unpredictable ANIMAL you can't reason with, that's capable of changing your life forever in 2 seconds of uncharacteristic behavior, in a house with small children, might not be the best call. Fact: Some folks love their dogs so much they ignore 1 and 2 above, because that could never happen to them, their sweet puppy has never, and will never, do anything uncharacteristic, no matter how old, sick, blind, or senile they get. Fact: Quite a few folks this has never happened to, (yet) will take offense at 1, 2, and 3, above. |

Fact: there is somewhere between a 0.000015%-0.00006% chance that any given pit bull would kill anyone.
Fact: there is somewhere between a 0.000115% and 0.00046% chance that any given pit bull would seriously attack someone. Fact: your chance of being mauled by a pit bull is about 0.0000003% Seriously, find some other bogeyman to wet your pants about. The way some of you blather on about it, you would think you were terrified of anything that could possibly cause you harm, including the kitchen sink and your own shadow. |

Two dog rules I live by:
|

ISIS's mascot is a pitbull, 2 pitbulls were seen at Deely Plaza during the Kennedy assassination, and a pitbull was the deciding vote on the Fox executive board that canceled Firefly.

They prohibited that over a century ago. It was a joke. Fact is, I would be scared to leave a pit around my kiddos. In all reality, it's probably no dangerous than a golden retriever. It's a mental thing on my part, despite never having any bad experiences with them. Got my ass bit good when I was a kid though, by a chow. I own a chow mix now. She's much more aggressive than my GSD. Despite what people say I still think some breeds are pre-disposed to aggression. I have zero evidence to back this up.

Been around countless Pits. Never even been bit by one, let alone attacked. I'm magical. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote Been around countless wood chippers, firearms, and heavy equipment. Still have all my fingers and toes (mostly). Still wouldn't let kids play with them unsupervised. It's not what will happen, it's what might. Cost vs benefit. I just don't see "I like pits" as being a reasonable explanation for taking the risk, given animals sometimes do things completely out of character, with zero warning. If you want a pit, go for it. Not suggesting anyone should have their pit "regulated". Just don't try to justify it, if you think justification isn't necessary. Fairly certain there are a huge number of folks out there whose babies never hurt a fly. Until they did. |
