There are pitbulls running loose around here everywhere in the poor rent house neighborhoods. I am carrying now to walk my dogs on a leash in my neighborhood.

Shiester,
We have a Boxer now, have had dogs for a long time.
Never had an aggressive dog, making some exception for the nature of a Jack Russel. She wasn’t offensive, but it didn’t take much to make her defensive.
After an incident with her and a total stranger. Where she went stiff and was immediately at fight to die status, holding her ground, I’ve learned to judge people by my dog.
Six months after Casey’s reaction to John, he was on the front page, above the fold.
Accused Child Molester Accused of Arson/Attempted Murder! Sets fire to home with the witness inside!
If my calm dog alerts on someone, that’s all I need to know. And am glad to know it! When I was a young kid my folks got me a Shepard/Collie mix that went about 45 lbs. One day a traveling salesmen came knocking and that dog just about went through a wood framed screen door after the guy. Dude promptly left. Kinda freaked my mom out, the dog lived to be 18 and never acted aggressive towards another person. Mom always believed the guy must have been bad news and that dog knew it.

Love how gentle the owner of the Pit Bull was trying to get it off the Husky.
Me, owner of the Husky?
1 step forward. BLAM.
Bye.. So, when I was with my pure Pitbull at the dog park back in the early two thousands, and an elderly gentleman's Boxer charged him, grabbed him by the face, and wouldn't let go, instead of helping the man get his dog off mine (the Boxer actually bit my hand while trying to get a better grip on my dog's face), I should have drawn and fired?? Got it.

Got it. I've been dog bit several times years ago. Won't happen again.

Perhaps you should not own dogs.

The handler was the one out of control of the dog. If you can not control your dog, you have no business owning that dog. I am a dog person, grew up on a farm, I do not tolerate animals that cause any problem for me or a neighbor of any kind. If they do not mind, or obey commands, that is a real problem.
Just carry a can of premium starter fluid, is great for dog control, it is pure ether and will put the baddest dog down in an instant. Does an instant sull and stun on a dog, when sprayed in the dog's face. The olfactory nerve sensors 12 times stronger than an human, are overcome, and they connect direct to the dog's brain.
For aggressive people, forget pepper spray, use wasp spray, it sprays in a stream, blinds instantly, is a guaranteed trip to the emergency room. Never can tell when you might get a wasp in your vehicle or office. Can’t say about the starter fluid. The wasp spray thing is an urban legend and total BS. Guy on YouTube intentionally sprayed himself to check and it was not worse than an inconvenience. DON’T rely on it unless you have a death wish.

Got it. Your situation was different. You do you. You're in a blue blue blue county. I guess you'd want to consider that.

It's funny I've been spending a lot of time in Central America. They don't seem to have the same problem with the blacks or the pitbulls we have here in my experience. The ones I have dealt with in the black community are well articulate and have jobs and raise their kids well. And the pitbulls have been very friendly

When you own any dangerous breed , you need to be smarter than the dog, and consistent with training. Many that own Pit Bulls aren't either.

Pitt Bull owners are always quick to say my dog has never acted aggressively. Or not my dog, she is a female and as sweet as can be. Or my dog wouldn't hurt anybody.
The daughter of a friend of mine had a pitt bull. Same story, my dog wouldn't hurt a flea. Well one day, for no apparent reason, the pitt bull attacked there 2 year old boy. The dog latched on to his face and almost killed him. The boy was airlifted via trauma helicopter to a trauma center. He's lucky he survived.
They are all good dogs, until they are not. And when that trigger gets pulled very bad things happen. It may never happen, but the potential is ALWAYS there.
As far as I'm concerned, it's the same thing as loading one of your guns, taking the safety off, and telling your kids here go play with this. Ticking time bomb.

Pitbulls used to be very controlled and those people who were in the game knew the other people in the game. OFRN or Colby lines were very controlled. It took the Gangstas in the late 90s and early 00s to get involved in the breed and let some of the working dogs be turned over to rescues and the gp. A gamebred dog is never aggressive towards a human unless it directed to. They are just too dangerous. They would get put down. Pitbulls require another level of mastery and concrete authoritarian control. Most modern dogs don't get that and have owners that don't know. People who have real pitts should know their history.

I have a female Pitt mix...Best and sweetest dog ever. Yeah, until it's not! And it attacks a 3 year old kid. \No one knows what makes a good pit turn ferocious. They are worthless to me. They kill more humans every year than all the other dog breads combined. Not even close. If someone owns one and it hurts someone in my family, it's not only the dog that is fuugged! Not picking on you Champlain Islander. I know you are a good dude but I disagree with you on this one. It's not a matter of if with pit bulls, it's when. And it's always the same thing! He has never done anything like that before!
