Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Is it the breed or bad owners? It’s the BREED!

Blackie is right on point. I always walk armed in my neighborhood. My wife continues to wonder why and I hope she never finds out why I make that choice. My daughter keeps Mace with her. Have it and not need it right? The fuggin pittie would have been light out with me. A blade out between the shoulder blades is a termination with prejudice. Beyond that it’s a 9mm in the noggin. And I would sleep that night just fine thank you.

Dog show? Looks like a livestock/meat auction.

Same for people? People are products of their environment. Does that mean two in the hat to all the children of gang bangers too ?

Pits are bred for a purpose while people are generally created. Not a great argument but there are definitely folks out there who just need killin’.

I ain't watching that.

ok

The Pit had a grip on the Husky's cheek, but they got him off. Nothing gruesome to watch. Could have been much worse.

I didnt watch it either. Do not need to see anymore videos of those worthless dogs hurting and killing. Im a dog guy, just not a breed that was bred to kill

... and the genes they inherited from mom and dad.

lololol

Is funny.

How many times have you heard a basset hound, Beagle, Collie having attacked people or other dogs and how many times a pit, or Rottweiler? Nough said!

If there were nothing but very responsible Pit owners, we'd see far fewer attacks. They'd still attack more than any other breed by a wide margin though. Unfortunately the breed attracts trailer trash type owners. The combination compounds issues.

Not true. Number one dog who bites? Labs. By a mile. Because there's millions of them. Pits just do more damage when they do bite.

And yes, trash will be trash.

Yeah, noted also. It really doesn't come off as an "attack" as much as poor handler/poor discipline.
Neither animal "seriously hurt" what ever that means. No blood. Never seen any two dogs playing where there wasn't some degree of "bite the face" wrasslin' taking place.

The reason for that is that those other breeds don't make headlines when they attack someone. It's typically a bite and a release. Pitbulls are bred (like Boxers), however, to latch on and not let go, resulting in greater harm, which results in an increased likelihood of making the news.

My little female is the most people-friendly dog I've had in a long time. She'll let the kids hold her down and blow raspberries on her belly. She does well in public, making friends with folks. Had her 2.5 years and she's never growled at a person.



BUT... she is without a doubt the boss (in her mind) of any other animal that comes around. I live out in the sticks, so it's not too much of an issue here, plus she is not allowed to roam. I'd not really trust her around livestock, other strange/unproven dogs, or any other small animals without being on a leash. I've seen her barrel into three different big male dogs that came around and she's like a guided missile with no "quit", even when they are twice her size. I've said it before, but there's no way I'd want a big pit variant. Too much power and drive for many folks to handle. I have to admire their grit as working dogs, but they are often not worth the potential hassle.....

I distinguish between a bite and an attack. But if we go with bites, this is what I came up with. https://www.dogster.com/dog-breeds/dog-breeds-that-bite-humans-most

It's both. A breed with the propensity for vicious attacks, and owners who don't account for that.
