alwaysoutdoors,

I really LIKE your signature & am a PROUD DENIZEN of "the basket of Deplorables".

yours, tex

Wasn't there another long time owner of a bully breed dog who's dog turned on him that used to post on here? Canadian if I remember right.

that pic says a lot for the breed and your training

Yeah, and I'll explain real world for you. The dog needs dead and the owner and you need a good swift kick in the azz.

1) There's a bunch of animals that can be handled though dangerous (think pet cobras, Charolais bulls) and a bunch more that can be relatively docile towards their handler and dangerous towards anyone else (think pet grizzly bears or tigers). So saying that just because somewhere, some dog is nice is proof that they are all nice is b.s.

2) There is a reason they don't use goldendoodles to dog fight or guard property. There's a reason certain species are used for certain tasks that may require violence. You and everyone else reading this thread knows which is which.

I've raised and trained far too many bird dogs to ignore genetic coding. When you watch a pup point a bird at 6 weeks old, it speaks volumes for what we can and have programmed into dog breeds. Only relatively recently in the history of the dog/human relationship did large amounts of the population decide to own dogs for pleasure. With that came all sorts of working breeds suddenly bred and bought with no regard for their genes.

In a way, you can't really blame a pit for being a pit.

I've personally kllled 3 pitbulls that went after me or my dog over the years and wont hesitate to kill everyone that threatens me. Look at Any crime ridden schithole in the US and you'll some useless thug/dbag playah walking( being dragged) by a pit bull in the ghetto with a wife beater, gold chains and diamond earrings and no gainful employment and a 4th grade education living on welfare. For some reason these losers are attracted to the breed.

A pitbull is like $3000 rims on a 1995 camry- or a tick with lyme disease -completely worthless

How many dog breeds will try and kill a horse?

None -and all the more reason to exterminate the breed

Now that you mention it I remember BcBrian was the guy. I believe he took the dog out into the back 40 and took care of it.

Yep that's the name (I'm pretty sure anyway) thanks.

No problem, I had totally forgotten about that till you mentioned it.

las,

IF you "buy into" pack theory, the mate of the Alpha (the Alpha's mate is usually the highest status female) & her progeny will be "deferred to" and "defended to the death" by every other member of the pack.

For that reason, I would NOT have wanted to be the thug, who in my possible absence, decided that it would be OK to assault/injure my late wife or my daughter. = That would have been a BAD day for HIM.
(VK or my daughter couldn't work my PPD, as they didn't know her cues but neither would she idly sit & watch them being abused/threatened, as they were, in her eyes, MINE & she was well aware of that fact.)

yours, tex

I am on the Lab and Golden retreiver band wagon. They are just decoy’s really.

It has been more difficult to train my family how to train the dog, than to train the dog. Even with a Golden they display alpha behavior. They just require a little less stick...

Scratches....

Poppycock. The traditional fighting breeds did sometimes show human aggression. The were put down when they did. It's not like when they weren't in the pit they were chilling on the sofa with mom and junior either. They were handled by people who knew how to handle them. The fighting breeds need strong handlers, but that's not a guarantee. Strong handlers/owners sometimes get their asses tore up or their dogs tear someone or some other dog up. When it happens that "fight til the end coding" comes out and the results are horrific. You have to dig deep to find stories of non-fighting breeds tearing their owners into 60 pieces, even when they are trained to be mean. You mentioned the St. Bernard. Ponder this for a moment. With the size and strength of a St Bernard (or any other large, strong breed) why aren't they chosen in the place of the larger fighting breeds to train to be nasty?

I missed that. Good point.

Yeah, that was an America Bulldog. Had his Yorkie turned on him, we wouldn't have heard about it.

..and..



Hey thanks guys.

Of course they say 80% of the dog you're getting is already visible in the puppy, to that end you have to pick 'em carefully. As pointed out on this thread not all dogs are equal.

I am exceedingly fortunate in that there are still a lot of working ranches in Texas, so it ain't all that hard to find a good working heeler "parents on site", for not a whole lot of money. No papers of course but I could GAS about that. See, among regular folk, heelers are properly labelled a "type" rather than a "breed" just like Jack Russels used to be when I was a kid before so many got ruined by popularity. "Heelers" vary in size and color but it doesn't matter, the most important part of a dog is the grey matter that lies between its ears, because of their ancestry my dogs from the beginning were driven by a desire to work with their owner. It matters too that they are all females hence even less inclined to question my authority or be inappropriately aggressive to dogs and strangers.

I'm a schoolteacher, I timed it to buy 'em in May, right before I was off until August, so for more'n two months I could bring the pup with me everywhere, every day, all day long. Also I spaced 'em at least two years apart, so the new pup could learn much by copying the older one as they do.

I couldn't enter any of 'em in obedience trials, they don't know any tricks, but they are pleasant companions and no trouble to bring places. All I have time for really.

Wow !!!!!!!

Do you have loss of mobility from the dog bite Roger ?
Permanent damage ?

Yeah, they ate her...literally.
