Walking My dog this morning on a leash, neighbor let their pit bull out. Ran straight to us to attack my dog in the street. My German Shepherd female met it with teeth out. Knocked it to the ground and my dog had it down by the throat. I pulled her back and the pit ran for the house. Every pit I have encountered does this. I think I will start carrying and just shoot them. I am sick of them. I don't want my dog torn up by some POS Pit. And I am not sure they won't bite me. The old ladies on my street can't walk anymore with their grandchildren because of them.

Shoot on site.

the best thing for a Pit is a .45 round through the head at close range

I have a 60 lb female Belgian Malinois who I think could hold her own.. for awhile anyway. I also carry a nice stick, worthless against a pit I’m sure, a nice quick opening knife, and a Glock .40 cal. I’ve been lucky on my walks so far but feel like my time is coming, with all the people who think it’s cool to walk their dogs off leash. I will protect myself and my dog.

You were lucky. Pit Bulls usually press their attack, impervious to pain. SHOOT THEM ALL.

file a police report documenting all of the problems with this pit. Put in report that you fear your safety and the health and safety of neighbors before you shoot it the next time it attacks

Probably a mix. Most "pits" are pit mixes.

Hysteria seems contagious.

If it's loose in the street and it's attacking me, my kid, or anything I own, it will get shot, no questions asked......

If the owner has a problem with that, we shall see.

County Humane agencies, animal "rescue" organizations and private "No Kill" adoption groups seem to stay literally at capacity with Pit bull and like breed mixes. Many also seem to be prone to avoiding directly using the Pit Bull and like breed names in the descriptions of mixed breed dogs available for adoption.

Yes, get this documented. When the inevitable happens, the injured have a leg to stand on and the pit owner will not.

Worthless dogs.

Same exact thing happened to me while walking my Doberman back in the late 1980s, except the dog that ran into the street to attack my leashed Doberman was a Boxer. My Doberman instantly took the top and had him by the throat on his back. He was holding the Boxer down like that, snarling and letting him know he was pissed and who's boss. Then, when the Boxer (on his back) seemed to completely give up the fight, my Doberman let go of his throat and slowly stepped off him, assuming he had made his point. Just as he was stepping off, though, the Boxer lunged his head upward and grabbed my Doberman by the throat, cutting off his windpipe. Boxer was doing what Boxers do, he just held on, as my Doberman was beginning to lose consciousness. I looked around for something to smack the Boxer with, but could find nothing on the street, and I wasn't armed. Just as my dog lost consciousness, the owner came out and pulled his Boxer off my Doberman.

Dirty fighting dog. He was beat fair and square, and when it appeared clear who the winner was, my dog stepped off him, and he took that chance to get a death grip on my Doberman.

But, but, it's not fluffy fault. It is all on how the dog was raised. I've heard enough of that bs!

Take care of the situation with the owner.

You'll want to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you ventilate it.

Every pitbull in the Pet of the Week section is listed as a “Lab Mix”

lol

Probably wasn’t a pitbull. If it was I doubt this attack would have went as the OP described. I see this all of the time, people assuming a dog is a pit when it isn’t. My in-laws are guilty of it. The dog next door is some kind mutt, but to them, it’s a pit.

When I walk my dog I carry pepper spray AND a Glock.Wouldnt hesitate to kill one trying to hurt my dog.

Always thought a heavy duty gig/walking staff would do a good job , I like up close and personal .

Owners

Start walking the neighborhood with Neptun’s Trident and a wizard’s coat

People are like that too.

You show a reprobate mercy and they stab you as soon as you turn your back on them.

tell us about the time it happened to you

I'm not afraid of pits and don't hate all of them even though I probably should considering. I'd have another if I had the time to spend with it.

Not a bad idea at all to have a paper trail on that particular dog..............AND OWNER.

There's a whole lot of difference in a 40 or 50lb pit and one that goes 80 or 100lbs pounds .

A blood trail. It has not one time worked out for me to complain about a bad dog. I tried 3 different times to get owners to do something about their dogs. Didn't work and ended up with 3 very angry dog owners. Kill him (the dog, not the owner) and don't make any statements.

Actually the best thing is charter pitbull revolver with shot shells.

The reason is the situation is so fast you just blast the face of the dog so you don’t risk missing or having a stray bullet.

99% of the time it’s worthless talking to owners

I have much experience in this regard, the two best and most reliable calibers are the .40 and 45acp.

In my 44 special, the shape of the capsuls have jumped crimp and jammed up my revolver

I don't want to disobey the wisdom Jesus Christ told me.

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

The perfect tool for the job!

AND it's only 22ounces.

You should have called the police because this dog is dangerous and the moment the pit ran off the owners property the owner was liable. If you were walking a beagle your dog would likely be dead

had a beagle that kicked my neighbors dobermans ass that beagle got him by the throats and didn't let go.

Preach it, you fake ass kook

Great stuff, dogs that don't fight fair, specialized dog defense guns and and ammo and scripture all in one thread.

TRH, slappy, and loco are a constant in an uncertain world.

Because the doberman was laughing too hard

Pit Bull shot after killing beagle

Paper trail is just CYA for when you do shoot the dog.

Yup, I could care less how "mad" the dog owner is, I would know that I did the right thing and so would the cops.
