Judging from the neighborhood, these folks were likely model citizens who'd never encourage human-directed aggression in their dogs for the purpose of deterring burglary or nosy police.

Why is it always them dang bassets hounds?

How about you TRH. Have you encouraged human-directed aggression in your pits?

i find it interesting that the most violent among us tend to prefer the same characteristic in their dogs. Those same dogs (pit bulls) you will NEVER see used as working dogs as they cannot be controlled.

hater

Sorry, TAK, but anyone with actual experience with the breed understands your statement to be utterly absurd.

Oh, I forgot about all those bomb sniffing pit bulls in Iraq, and all those in use at the Nuke sites.

When a Basset Hound goes bad, there might be a bite followed by a retreat, not a determined attack.

As a percentage of their numbers, all factors being equal, Pitbulls are less likely than the vast majority of breeds to inappropriately attack a human being. When they do decide to attack, however, they do so with great determination (surpassing any other breed) and very effectively, thus the more severe consequences to the victims.

I do hate pit bulls

all people must have Danes or Labs

Or

German Shepherd

Another never once has he been aggressive story.

Never. Not necessary, due to the fear their mere appearance evokes in those with evil intentions.

It's the truth. I see it all the time.

I'm offering you my expert judgment on the matter, based on real experience, and I have no doubt about it based on that. A study would require placing thousands of young puppies of various breeds into qualified homes at random and then following them.

My favorite baby killer.


You will notice her soft and shiny coat which is maintained with the blood of small children. Luckily I live across the street from and elementary school, which provides Penny dog with a steady supply of sustenance.

I've been bitten twice by dogs in my life. One was an ill tempered springer spaniel that we picked up from the dog pound. The other was from a beagle, but I was a stupid kid and deserved that one.

I've related the death and destruction wrought by those infernal dogs before so I won't do so again, but if EVER one moves into my neighborhood and gets loose, I'm not going with a light rifle:

�I just couldn't understand why he wouldn't stop, how come he was, why was he continuing to tear at her when she was bloody, she was on the ground. I mean you could tell, she was just helpless,� Thompson said.

I've been bit twice, myself, once by a German Shepherd and once by a Boxer.

Sorry, TAK, but anyone with actual experience with the breed understands your statement to be utterly absurd.

I'm offering you my expert judgment on the matter...

I inherited a mix pit and something else maybe lab not a bad dog reasonable temper thanks again kids... one day I was going out to my car and there sitting next to my dog was a crop eared male pit that was twice the size of my dog. It got up and walked toward me as I headed to my car, I pulled my CCW Glock 19 and trained it on the dog, it closed on me, growled when it was about 5 foot away and launched itself. The 115 grain +P+ Federal HP entered its head directly between and just above the eyes and went straight down its neck into its body, the bullet did not exit and the dog landed at my feet quite dead. My neighbor a policeman told me the same dog had attacked him during his morning run and he pepper sprayed it. Drug folks raise them and then when they get mean or do something to the drug family often they take them out and just let them go.

Actually, in the ghetto culture, the first thing they do with a puppy Pitbull (especially if they're involved in drug dealing, but even absent that factor) is to set about "making them mean." They have a whole procedure for this, involving staking them down by a rope and having buddies from other neighborhoods come by and strike the dog with a broom from time to time. When the dog finally gets enough of it and drives aggressively towards them in an effort to bite, the agitator runs away in pretended terror and leaves. This does two things: firstly it teaches the dog that most strangers will try to hurt them, given the chance, and secondly, that aggression towards them is the solution.

Messed you up though, didn't they? You should be thankful. A Pit would have crippled you.

Ask Hawk why so many fruit cakes and druggies and homies own pit bulls.

I had a pit. Great dog. Until he wasn't.

Then I Glocked that [bleep].


Travis

Someone asked why pits aren't used as bomb dogs and the like. I know pits are used as service dogs for a few things, but I have never seen a lousier nose on a dog than what my pup exhibits. She marks very well though.

Is that what you're calling your microweiner these days?

Train them mean and breed the ones that pick it up. Exactly the same way that other breeds were given their own characteristic behaviors.

Mean is what a large portion of the pit blood line is now. Some of them aren't. Some of them are meaner.

It's not worth finding out by someone losing an arm.

My current Pit mix has a pretty amazing nose. She likes to sleep in the front yard, and I often step out the back door to attend to my hens. She knows by merely sniffing the air that I've stepped out back (and no, not because I stink ), and comes running into the back yard to greet me with a toy in her mouth. I know it's by scent because a few times I've stepped out, than changed my mind and went back in, then looked out the front living room window to see her sound asleep, but within a few seconds, once the scent had a chance to get to the front yard, she'd suddenly wake up, put her nose high into the air to sniff, then grab a toy and dart into the back yard thinking I'm back there.

PS This is my current Pit mix.

It's little challenge at all to achieve "meanness" with a breed that has any natural spunk like the vast majority of Pitbulls do. Possessing said training-potential and being mean by nature are two completely different things, however. Most pits are bred for fighting ability, not for native "meanness." It's no trick making any of them mean, using the method I outlined. No selection process is needed. People have, in fact, been doing precisely what I outlined for thousands of years.

I'd say you could always go out and buy a new one, but I don't think the medical community has mastered the art of the dik transplant yet. You're screwed buddy.

I'm not so sure that "most" pits are bread for fighting but I could be wrong. I would just be suprised if dog fighting is that prevailant in America today.

These threads are always funny as hell.

My dog is so awesome. You guys suck. You just don't understand. blah [bleep] blah

I vote they should use pits as a test medium for bullet performance.

TRH,any idea what your dog is mixed with? She looks pretty pity except for the large ears. How heavy is she? Mine is 60 lbs and was the runt. Her brothers and sister are closer to 75-80.

Kinda like a ghetto mom saying "He was such a good boy." about her 17 year old drug dealing son killed in a shootout with police.

I don't think anyone is disputing the physical potential of a pit bull, if that is what you're getting at. I just think that it is ignorant to generalize the entire breed as uncontrollable man eaters. I used to have a fear for the breed myself, until I actualy spent some time around a few. I have seen good pits and bad. One looks at the owners is usually all it takes to get a good idea of any dogs demeanor. Pits can make some very good family dogs. If you don't like pits, don't get one. If you have a dog running through your property and you want to shoot it, that's your poragative.

Gotcha. There are a lot of pits bread for grabbing hogs, no doubt. I would like to get into that, but I could never send a dog I cared about to grab a large pig, and I wouldn't own a dog that I didn't care for.

You can tell a lot about a person by observing his dog, and many of the arseholes that own pit bulls aren't fit to raise guppies.

Insurance companies will not insure your house if you own certain dog breeds - pit bulls being one of them - or if they do, they will raise your rate considerably. Perhaps landlords should require renter's insurance, or is that government overreach?

How do I teach my 5 year old to tell the difference if one gets lose and he's out playing in the yard?

I'm not a parent yet, but if it were my boy I would tell him to come inside if he saw any strange dog come into the yard and get his mama or papa to take care of it.

Maybe some other molliser breed?

You'll end up shooting that dog if you have kids.


Travis

I don't want to register my guns, why would I want to register my dog?

7 week old new pup, Petey needed company when i'm away at work.

I'm not a parent yet, but if it were my boy I would tell him to come inside if he saw any strange dog come into the yard and get his mama or papa to take care of it.

Should he run in before or after he gets mauled? Hopefully he's not busy playing and looking the other way.

I'm not worried about your dog so much. I'm guessing you are responsible and wouldn't have a dog that could get loose and cause harm. But they all look just alike, and therin lies the problem. Wouldn't it be better if we just let the breed die? If your dog isn't aggressive or mean, why not get a poodle instead?

My dog is no stranger to children. My girl has a 4 year old daughter and Penny and Lilly absolutely love eachother. Having said that, I'm smart enough and proactive enough to supervise them when they are together. The problem with kids and any dog is that children can often become to assertive/aggressive/etc with the dog and not know when a dog is getting aggitated. I have never seen Lilly abuse Penny and her mother and I have been very conscious of making sure that we teach Lilly how to treat and handle dogs.

In short, children require their own special attention from their parents. If you're a lousy parent, there is an endless list of things that can harm your child and the chances of your kid getting hurt are much higher if you don't take care that it doesn't.

I've seen Labs that were calm and rock solid, and I've sen Labs that were so wound up and squirrely that they hardly ever touched the ground.
After the 101 Dalmatians movie, the breed became spectacularly popular and I heard that indiscriminate breeding flooded the market with mentally deficient Dalmatians.
Unlicensed breeders get busted mass-producing pits around here from time to time.
The difference must be in the bloodline. Seems that like any other breed, there's some whats OK, and there's some whats unfit. Trouble is, how do you know before it's too late?
Just asking...

Pointers point. Pitbulls fight.


Travis

Same could be said for lots of dog breeds, e.g., wolfhounds.

I love Pitbulls because of their happy go lucky, never met a stranger, personalities, combined with their deterrence factor when viewed from the other side of a fence with a locked gate. They're the poor man's estate mastiff.

You should think first, type second.


Travis

Did I misspell something?

No. You're typing out your ass. More so than usual.


Travis

Roscoe is 15 years old half pit, half boxer. He only wants to bite a biscuit, or a cookie if my wife is baking them.I will say that out of his litter, he is the only one still alive. his brothers were mean and raised to be that way, All died at very young ages from lead poisoning or road rash. He has been treated like one of the kids and will be missed when he passes.

Well I'm a good parent and I have a decent resume when it comes to knowing how to train a dog. And I shot the [bleep] out of him.


Travis

We don't need ANY laws regulating these infernal animals,,,or laws preventing us from shooting them on sight either...

Spot! Lay Down! BANG!!! Good Boy.

Poisoning a pitbull is an honorable undertaking, providing that shooting is not an option.

We went to the same school!


Travis

How does it feel to be the first woman to graduate from MCRD SD? You must have pulled a lot of strings. With your mouth.

Love most any dog, have reservations with some breeds, but cannot internally allow myself to trust Pits, even those that belong to very close friends of mine. Its something in my Gut that I cant get past. And this is from a guy that has owned Rotts and Dobies my whole adult life. Theres just something about Pits that I cant drop my guard on.

Anything coming from a Texan is always hilarious. Here's to hoping you can afford a real dog one day.


In Christ,
Travis

It's because they exude the ability to tear you up good if they ever decided to, and that freaks some folks out, even if the dog in question is completely friendly and easy going. Guys who never like to feel that way about a dog (because it makes them question their image of themselves as tough guys) feel hostility toward the breed for that reason.

If only I didn't have to pay all of these lawyer defense fees for all the kids my dog has eaten. Someday I will get a real dog, like a Palmeranian.

It's because they exude the ability to tear you up good if they ever decided to, and that freaks some folks out

woman attacked by her own pit bulls loses both arms,an eye and a lot of blood.

Oh, you mean there's something in my post you don't agree with?

Yes Hawk, I normally refrain from things like putting my fate (or that of others) at the paws of a dogs whim.

Mostly I see guys with pits that have low self esteem and choose to live their life vicariously through that of a tough dog. As a kid they didn't have the luxury of being able to say to others that their dad could whip the other guys dad and regretted it.

It makes absolutely no sense to talk about how pits are bred to be loving, docile, and not dangerous in one sentence and then in the next to talk about how they are the poor mans estate mastiff. Just because a dog licks his masters hand doesn't make it safe for people to be around.

Every family pet/hunter pointer has let me know, at some point in time it didn't feel like putting up with me getting in its face/space without growling and barring teeth at me. Maybe it had a face full of porky quills or a mesquite thorn coming out the top of a foot, or was very tired from a days hunt and was too tired to put up with having the duct tape pulled off its legs to get the boots off after hunting in thick prickley pear country. A pissed off growl at me got the swift, sharp swat that let the dog know I was boss was ultimately what let me be boss and then I could proceed as needed.

Unfortunately I have seen men who grew up hunting with hounds and setters and pointers try being the boss with dogs of a more violent nature get the hell bitten out of them and sometimes left with permanent loss of normal use of a limb. Crippled at the whim of a dog.

Those who raise a dangerous dog and fail to teach the alpha rule and have a dog teach them (or another family member) can pay the price forever.

How often has a masters loving dog become jealous of the relationship it's master develops with a new partner or child, and the dog decides to teach the baby where it will fit in the developing pecking order? The answer is, some dogs take a finger and some take a life.

Poisoning a pitbull is an honorable undertaking, providing that shooting is not an option.

If you would defend dogs over little kids and helpless people you are a worthless [bleep] moron

It makes absolutely no sense to talk about how pits are bred to be loving, docile, and not dangerous in one sentence and then in the next to talk about how they are the poor mans estate mastiff.

Most pit dog owners know nothing about that and therefore have a dangerous animal they can't control unless the dog agrees with them. Therefore most pit owners have a dangerous dog and shouldn't be allowed to have them.

Yeh and pits have provided a horrific death to alot of kids......

Yeh and pits have provided a horrific death to alot of kids...... Some people are so [bleep] up..... You pit lovers can eat rotten [bleep]...

Most pit dog owners know nothing about that and therefore have a dangerous animal they can't control unless the dog agrees with them. Therefore most pit owners have a dangerous dog and shouldn't be allowed to have them.

Here is my honest solution to a problem that I am willing to admit exists. The problem is that people who cannot control their animals own breeds that when left to their abilities and lacking proper human socializtion, have been known to maul and kill people. Let us not forget that these same people also have the right to have kids.

So, here is my solution; every person at the age of 18 upon high school graduation or completion of a GED shall be required to take the military entrance exam, the ASVAB. If that person cannot obtain a high enough score to enlist in any of the respective military branches, that individual shall be sterilized and not allowed to own any breed capable of killing any being larger than a squirrel.

How does that sound?

Sure it does. The mere appearance of a typical member of the breed strikes fear in the hearts of many, partly due to all the bad publicity, but they also have a look of fearless capacity to do harm. This is why folks get Rotties and Dobes, too, but they cost more to feed.

Don't know if you guys have seen this one from a few days ago. But when I saw it on national news I thought.....bet money its a Pit before I even could verify it, based on behavior alone. Defend them [bleep] all u want but IMO theres no turning back for the breed.

http://gothamist.com/2013/03/13/video_pit_bull_comes_out_of_nowhere.php

People aren't libs for not liking a dog breed. They have lib tendencies if they feel we should ban or regulate people owning a dog breed, in this case.

And I have no idea how fast you typed. But, I'm guessing you used one finger and it was plenty slow.

gun lovers could see news story after news story about guns killing and severely injuring kids and will still ramble on from there worthless mouths about how guns are great weapons. Why?? Because they are Douchebags.... It takes a mentally ill person to stick up for a gun that kills little kids and innocent people.

Sooooooo, how do you guys think a Pit bull would stack up against a hyena???

And yet, amazingly, the overwhelming majority of Pitbulls live out their entire lives never having harmed a human being. Must be magic involved in that somehow.

So have people, and likely in much higher percentages in relation to their numbers on the planet. Lets exterminate people.

And yet, amazingly, the overwhelmingly vast majority of Pitbulls have never harmed a single human being. Must be magic involved in it somehow.

Seems I read somewhere that german shepherds are responsible for the highest number of bites requiring medical care?
May have been outdated?

People with inconsistent views on freedom and gov't regulation, depending on what they personally like, or don't like, demonstrate precisely why we have the gov't we have.
Principals before personalities, people.

so we should put up with a breed of dog unless it kills as many people as Pol Pot, or Stalin or hitler, right hawk.

I've related the death and destruction wrought by those infernal dogs before so I won't do so again, but if EVER one moves into my neighborhood and gets loose, I'm not going with a light rifle:

guns don't have brains and are under the control of a human. Pits often have a brain malfunctioning brain from generations of breeding and too often are not controlled by a human also with a malfunctioning brain.

If the owner can't control the animal, hold the owner accountable. Just like a firearm abuser.

Dudes....I think this man has a very valid point.....

If ya need a fightin dog, IMO, you're wantin a dick extender. Pathetic. But, your right.


I am all for rights AND responsibilities. Can ya bring small children back to life?
How about reconfiguring their mutilated faces and bodies? And memories, if they have any.


If we have to tolerate this foolishness, as a society, ownership should be established legally at transfer and then owners should face charges just as if they perpetrated the crime. Your dog kills, you fry. I mean, really. Your dog mutilates, you do 20 in the pen. No BS. No parole. None of this civil justice where ya can't get blood from a turnip stuff. I want owners to go to prison if such a dog is found roaming the neighborhood - ever - once. This cavalier approach to the lives of others is revolting, selfish and at best, delusional.

Guns ALWAYS act in concert with the bearers actions while pet lions, dogs or snakes -not so much.

I agree fully.

How's that read to you?

most drunk drivers have never harmed anyone. Fact.

guns don't have brains

It's a scientifically proven fact that selective breeding has a measurable effect on the disposition and preferences of animals. Pit lovers too often deny that fact. Some strains of hounds prefer foxes while others of the same breed were more interested in bear or cats or even deer (years ago). Pointers and setters have a thing about upland birds. Pits were bred to lick trespassers to death and at the same time to "look" mean and scare them away. (well, according to a real pit expert who would get rich from writing a book on this rare, valuable, and unique quality if he had the time).

IIRC, Hawk, you have previously indicated on another pit thread, how proud, superior, smug you feel going to the dog park and having all the others give way to your passage and defer to your course of travel with your pit on leash. It's the same as with the majority of killer dog owners -getting proud (hard) wherever possible.

To get working dogs, breeders must breed TOWARD "good" characteristics, with bidability being at the top of the list. A bird dog or cowdog needs to be "eat up" with desire to point birds or bay up cattle, but if his desire to please his owner doesn't trump all else, he is not a top dog.

The pack instinct is where ALL the good characteristics come from as far as I can determine. A dog's bidability comes directly from his instinct to submit to the pack leader.

To get a dog that will go directly against the pack instinct and kill another dog, even one that has submitted to him, requires a breeder to breed AWAY from all the good characteristics.

No breeder gets to control successive generations of his line to the point he can breed out ALL undesirable characteristics in his line of dogs.

Nobody breeds race horses to make slower horses. Nobody tries to get rid of athletic ability in cow horses. And we don't encourage violent lunatics to mate with other violent lunatics, and then breed their offspring to mates just like them.

THAT would be the human equivalent to pitbulls.

And unless a "drunk" driver actually drives recklessly, they should be left alone.

Are you [bleep] serious?

So pit bulls have been bred for many years to fight with deadly results;

So pit bulls don't just bite--they tear into muscle and bone and shake their victim(s);

So pit bull injuries are more severe than other breeds. All the red flags are there.

So why would any rational person want to take a chance in owning such a "pet" that could kill or maim an innocent person? That, to me, defies all logic.

And sorry Jeff, quick reply, I wasn't commenting to your post.

i find it interesting that the most violent among us tend to prefer the same characteristic in their dogs. Those same dogs (pit bulls) you will NEVER see used as working dogs as they cannot be controlled.

Oh, I forgot about all those bomb sniffing pit bulls in Iraq, and all those in use at the Nuke sites.

Naw, he's just building jaw muscles.

My neighbor has two, while I don't particularly like the breed, I don't care that he has them. The only time I see them around is when I am grilling steak, like most dogs they want a piece of the action! I grill some sausage at the same time, Its cheap and the dogs like it.

a wolf will kill a pitbull first everytime
