Obviously lots of variations in experiences here with pit bulls.
But they have that name for a reason and I’m not one for having any dog around that I feel I have to keep an eye on constantly.
To each his own,,,until he comes in my yard.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

Never thought I would see a Pitt that was as sweet as a Lab but I guess we got lucky. She's a keeper. Until you gt unlucky and she isn't sweet any more. Fool.

...you know a man without a dog doesn't have jack [bleep]. MB
Yeah but a lot of us are smart enough to (a) stay on topic and (b) know what the term "paragraph" means.

....he's dead. Bank it.
My neighbor suffered an unprovoked attack at his father's house. Father's new woman friend had the dog at father's house. Father and son were in the kitchen. Dog came charging in the kitchen. Did his best to fend the dog off. Lost a toe and most likely his thumb will have to be removed. The man works on his feet with his hands both at his day job of a linesman and tending to his chicken houses. His teenage daughter could have easily been the victim, and probably would have been killed. I am livid.
That really sucks. He'll have to work around those issues the rest of his life but at least he's still alive. There may be some good pit/pit crosses out there. I'll never know as there are just way to many bad ones to risk it.

Have seen propaganda here and there (especially social media and yes being there is a mistake) that shows the purported amount of bites by breed.
Small dogs are always first
Pit bulls are always last
Even if that is true, the amount of damage done per attack is conspicuous in its absence. Have a feeling that would be an interesting metric.

Thats like saying more people are shot with a BB gun than a 30-06.

I rescued a Rez dog, non pit. That little bastid is turning out to be a one dog raiding party all his own.

The theory that poorly trained pits are the only ones that attack is horse [bleep].
You ever seen a retriever that doesn't retrieve?
A pointer that doesn't point?
A hound that doesn't sniff?
A herder that doesn't herd?
With enough training maybe you could discourage these traits, but you'll never get rid of them. Well, this.

Yeah.
Happy to hear some have had good experiences and are responsible owners who realize their risks.
Most owners where I am at...don't seem to be so much.

We have one member on here that’s killed over 200 pit bulls. He won’t post any pics or reply to me though. I just want one pic and I’ll believe the other 199 I did reply to you and as a matter of fact. The post #14910381) was on 5-25-20 and I do have a few pictures which I would be quite reluctant to put out on the internet. It's not hard to eliminate up to 7 or 8 a year. If you are ever down this way I'll be glad to show you the 70 acre place the pits and their hybrids are raised. PM me with your phone number and I'll be glad to tell you all about it. Do you think there’s a puppy mill in that trailer park?Or a dog fighting ring? It's not exactly a trailer park. About 6 or 7 trailers scattered about on undivided heir property. There is just uncontrolled breeding of dogs. One year before I could kill them they had 3 running in a pack that killed every fawn within a half mile. They're not fighting or selling dogs to my knowledge. I learned by bitter experience many years ago not to report problems to dog owners or parents of bad kids. You would understand if you saw the setup. One gyp dog can raise you 10 a year easily. It's a constant issue. sounds like your typical high intelligence pit owners My adjacent neighbor to the north had a calf killed by a pack of the local pit hybrid dogs. 5 of them, a mama dog and 4 yearling pups about 40 lbs. each. They ran off and escaped when he drove up. He went back home and sneaked back on foot and climbed up in an elevated deer stand and waited with a rifle. Shortly the dogs returned to the bait. He shot the mama dog and then picked off the younger ones at leisure as they milled about confused.

A 19 year old girl was severely mauled here last week as she walked a pit from the shelter. She had walked it many times and it was her favorite. It chewed up both arms and a leg, dragging her into the brush. Other walkers heard her screaming, and called the cops. She was lifeflighted to Missoula for surgery. Thankfully she is going to be all right. The police found the dog, which had finally left the girl and shot it. I have no tolerance for pits, or any other dogs running. I shot 2 dogs chasing deer a while back, and shot a dog chasing my boys lambs a few years back. The owners kept their other dog a little closer to home. You sure it wasnt a dangerous ankle biter?

Let me guess.
It was a "rescue?"
Of course dum women luv to save pits . Interesting note. Most of the pit aggression I have seen at parks were "rescues" with a female owner.

Where I grew up in the country with goats, sheep, etc. , Any loose dog was shot on site. And the owner would have no problem with it.
Pits are not a dog persons dog. Why have one? My take is women get pit rescues because they think they can change them. Just like dating an abusive cheating boy friend and/or husband. Many of the gals worship the ghetto lifestyle Guys with insecurity issues own them because they think it makes them look tough. Both groups weren't raised with animals and have zero experience living and raising and training and understanding animal behavior. They have no clue how to properly take care of and manage their animals and the project their feelings on them a lot. "Oh he would never hurt anyone and he loves children". Just clueless and dangerous group. Like giving an 8 year old a case of dynamite and a box of scorpions. I have one animal under my care, a 9 year old pit. Best dog I’ve had. I trust her more than about all but 3 people on this planet. FYI most owners say the same thing right up until the dog gnaws the face off of their infant.

I trust her more than about all but 3 people on this planet. Last year visiting a friend in Montana who rescued a pit Mix 7 years ago. She bragged what a wonderful sweet dog it was. I met her dog a few times over the years but it was usually in her truck and seemed friendly . I had enough bad experiences with psycho pits to question her and she said her dog was the bestest and most loving dog.She grew up around animals and had horses too. We were out in her pasture and my griff was in my truck. She said let my dog out of truck and go for a hike with both dogs. I knew better but I let my griff, a great upland and waterfowl dog and a sweetheart, out of my truck. Her psycho pit was on my dog and it pinned to the ground by her throat within 10 seconds. My pistol was back in the truck. ( dumb me) I see the life slipping out of my dog and start kicking and stomping the pit but would not let go. I should have picked it up by its rear legs and slammed it against a nearby tree. Not thinking I dropped to my knees and jammed both thumbs deep into the pit's eye sockets and it let go and bit my left hand. I had to go to emergency room for a crushed bone on my hand and take dog to the vet for stitches. Any pit off a leash that comes near me is going too get shot. Ive seen too many children horribly disfigured or killed by pits. Maybe a generalization but all Pit owners are dangerous too because they know absolutely nothing about their psycho animals. Jam your finger up the dog's ass. It WILL let go, it keeps you further from the business end and for some strange reason, it sucks the fight right out of them. I know of one very reliable account of this working and I have heard of others. https://www.google.com/search?q=fin...138j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

See all the single parent, no discipline idiots running the streets? Well, that's dogs too.
Women should not have big/mean dogs. 999 out of 1000 women have no idea how to be the Alpha and are unable to control dogs.
Conversely, most single parent, nancy boys have no business owning them either.

Friend of mine lived down on the Border. He had some cows on a piece of property he owned. Illegals just getting worse and worse until they had a "Colonia" near him. He said every family had two or three dogs they couldn't feed. Typical things happening to his cattle. He ended up utilizing the tried-and-true antifreeze method and killed something like thirty in one night!

Thats like saying more people are shot with a BB gun than a 30-06. This. A nip by an ankle biter vs a crippling attack by a killer. I've never had a patient crippled or scarred for life by a small dog.
