My girlfriend and I recently discovered that the dog we adopted was not a lab mix but a vicious mix of pitbull and husky. We were initially stressed about having such a violent killer but for the first week or so she seemed sweet. This video should be a warning to anyone thinking of owning one of these killers. **No cats were harmed in the making of this video.**

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Sorry for the loss of your cat. Looks like he tried to eat the camera, too.

That would never happen in my house. My dogs love my cats, but the felines seem to think they are not even worthy of contempt.

Ollie is our new kitten and he has yet to learn the trademark feline emotion of indifference. Him and Lexie, the pit/husky, have become inseperable in the few days we've had him.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

A cat got killed?

We own a Pit, and I KNOW he hates cats, among, ummm, other "things"....that said, I'd kill the damn cat myself before my Pit even got the chance.

Your "warning" should read: ANY dog that has the physical strength to do any sort of damage should NEVER be trusted completely as if it had a human mind capable of reasoned thought, REGARDLESS of breed. They are freaking animals for Pete's sake and not too far removed from their wild instincts.

We own Buddy, the Pit; Lilly Mae my Boxer; and two little porch yappers that my wife insists are worth having around. We don't own any damn cats.

Personally, I'm more afraid of a woman snapping than any sort of dog........

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Based on the video I saw, unless I missed something, I believe that there is a little bit of sarcasm going on here!

From that video, I would have to call it draw, both of them look like trained killers to me!

Best of Luck,
M Richardson

PS: if the dog did eat the cat, my apologies!

Truly a nasty, vicious animal not to be trusted around any women, children, small house pets, or little old ladies with walkers!!

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

you have a mix, I think you're ok. but when you get into the full bloodline is when I wouldn't have one. My little brother has one and it almost bit my cousins kid, now he's not allowed around kids.
Mine is a pitbull/shar pei mix and is awesome with my daughter.I think the breed depends much on the owner.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

I tend to go with "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners". My neighbors are good owners with a pair of pits and those dogs still get after one another, other dogs (especially as a pair), and other stuff. You have to be a vigilant owner with a pit, if only to protect yourself from frightened people.

I think I'll challenge the comment regarding pure bred. They get a lot of hype and bad publicity because there are more attacks involving them, but... They are one of the most muscular and easily trainable breeds which makes them more susceptible to exploitation from bad owners using them for illegal purposes. If a Collie had the same stamina, muscular physique, and was as easily trainable then they too would statistically end up with a higher allotment of attacks. All dogs are aggressive, it's up to the owner to be responsible and ensure the animal is properly trained and managed.

I'm not saying your cousin is irresponsible or a bad owner, but that they are dogs and they do have instincts and in some circumstances instinct takes over. You and I have probably know several humans in our lifetimes that have seemed harmless and then for no apparent reason snapped, lol..

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

I have mentioned this before - a friend, and a darn good, responsible person adopted two roadside pups that turned out to be Rhodesian ridgeback/Staffordshire pit mixes - they were unequivocally protective of her, but yes, tore apart a cat (along with the bunnies all dogs go after) that snuck into the backyard, as well as her mom's smaller Cocker Spaniel. My friend was always amazed how well they "took sh*t" from the much smaller Cocker Spaniel, until one day they just snapped, it occurred on her bed, and there was very few discernable parts left of the Cocker Spaniel. Having heard that story, and knowing she WAS a responsible owner, I would be hesitant with young kids being left alone...Just IMHO.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

I am really sorry about your cat. That sux. However, pits don't necessarily go after cats/ squirrels/bunnies etc. because they are vicious/bloodthirsty. They just have really high prey drive. If something runs they chase and catch. This can be tempered with appropriate timing in training. Saying that, no dog should ever be left alone with small kids. No matter how well you know the dog. Kids have a knack to do things that could cause a reaction.

On a side note, when pits were being bred as fighters they were bred to not show aggression to people. That way any of the handlers in the pit could separate the dogs and not get chomped.

Still, experiencing something like you did, I cam see how you could become a sceptic. They really are a great breed.

Agreed. Sad that people don't do any research. If they did they would find that most pits involved in attacks were owned by some retarded white trash or some thugs from the hood. Normal peoples pits rarely attack.

And if they want to ban a breed, they need to ban chihuahuas. They are by far the most violent breed, like as in if you combine all the other "dangerous breeds" together you still don't touch the violence and amount of attacks exhibited by chihuahuas. For every pit attack I would honest wager that there are thousands of chihuahua attacks, but those never go reported becasue they are so small, or "its just the breed, they're not harmful" or "they're scared because they are small, don't worry about it" My friend owns a chihuahua and that thing attacks her at least a dozen times a day. If you even walk near it snaps at you. And I've known a few other people over the years that own chihuahuas and those dogs all acted the same way. Fuckin crazy, violent little things.

you're right, it all falls on the master. My lil bro can be a idiot every once in a while. When I first got lazy and he would show me and aggressive side, I quickly fixed that. Have you ever seen a chihuahua with a bad owner. They can be deadly!

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

I watched another video recently where it had s pit being cute with a cat and the poster later wrote that the dog did eventually hammer the cat. I apologize. Glad it didn't suck. Still applies to the guy who's little dog got earen by the Ridgeback mix.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

I have a true mutt... 1/2 Pitbull (mother was purebred), 1/4 Rhodesian Ridgeback, and 1/4 German Shepard (father was 1/2 and 1/2). Talk about a dog wth too much energy. I like to say we have a tracking, lion hunting, pitbull.... And she is 100% fine with all other animals. We have goats out in the field with her, abotu 15 chickens she herds all day. Plus we have two little babies (nieces) and one on the way (ours) and she lets them crawl all over her and pull on her ears and hit her, and she shows no, absolutley no sign of aggression.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Nice video! Jasper just passed a BSL law on Pits and I think that people don't do their homework when trying to blame someone or something. In my personal experience 99% of the time the problem has been the owner not the animal. I have an American Bulldog that is a Scott type and I was told that I would have to prove that he was a AB and not a APBT. Problem is I never got the papers on him so now I have to see if CKC will register him! SUX!

Thats bullshit. My pit is a full blooded red nosed Pitbull. He is 93 pounds and is the best dog I have ever had. I have had labs, Scottish Terrier, bird dogs and a dalmation. He is gentle but knows when to go into protect mode. He spends most of his day in the floor with my 9 month old son that crawls all over him and tugs his ears. He just lays there and occasionally licks him.

Id trust my dog over any other dog breed. But if anyone tried to break in and hurt my wife or kid, I feel pretty sorry for them. He wouldn't hesitate a second to putting someone on the ground.

Don't label the breed, label the owners that raise them...

It is obvious to me, that neither of you two know what you're speaking of. We have 2 chihuahua's here, as well as my mother has two at her house.

None of these 4 animals is ferocious, violent, or even 'threatening'. One of those 4 is Yappy as hell when someone arrives. (drives me nuts)

As has been stated SOOOOOOO many times in this thread, the problem is NOT the dog, it is the owners.

Is that really such a hard concept to figure out. Sorta mirrors the thought of "there are no bad guns, just bad owners".... ya 'ken?

I really don't have to draw a picture, do I? Or are you one of "those" idiots who believe that all of a particular firearm should be banned as well,,, cause they're "oooooh-sooo dangerous?

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

PLEASE everyone watch the video before posting. The OP was being sarcastic and it also proves a point to the nature of an APBT or even a mix breed pitty that is raised right or bred correctly. I believe the breeding of the APBT has a huge amount of bearing on their behavior. These fight breeds of APBT are bred so tightly that these dogs are born with issues. To the OP, good looking pup and kitty. They look like they will be best of friends for life.

It still became so aggressive it would bite my father while he tried to feed it.

I do believe that if you treat a dog well it will treat it's family well, but there is no telling when it decides it is pissed and decides that it has had enough. Pitbulls are bread to be vicious and mean.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Wow, this thread has ignited some opinions I wasn't expecting. The thing that gets me is the people saying, "just wait til that dog has had enough and snaps." I've been around multiple breeds of dog all my life and have seen many breeds people consider friendly and easy going have something happen and tear into something. As a toddler my brother had a hole the size of a fist taken out of his leg by my aunts English Bulldog, not exactly a breed known for it's ferocity.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is no way to predict when a dog will do something wrong and hurt someone. The best you can do is raise them to love people and hope nothing like that ever happens. I've never seen one particular breed more prone to violence than any other, except chihuahuas, those things are assholes.

Who's to say the dogs were actually well trained? You know that just because they say it on TV doesn't make it true.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Cool video. I recently lost my female pit. She was the most gentle dog I've ever owned. She didn't even play rough, she just wanted to be petted. I found my 4yr old riding her like a horse one afternoon. The little one was holding her collar like reins and hollering, "Come on dog!" The dog was walking around the yard wagging her tail. She even loved other animals. The neighbors had goats, sheep & chickens that ate with her and she never tried to hurt them. Yeah, terribly vicious animals that will chew your leg off and eat your kids....

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Probably should go without saying, but food for thought,

Not all dogs, no matter the breed, are created equal!

Like people, genetics and environment, will determine if they are the kindest gentlest thing that you have ever meet, or a complete psychopathic raging murdering machine.

Trying to lump any group of dogs into a single category, is no different than trying to lump the human race into a single category. Sorry, but Mother Teresa and Ted Bundy are both “part of our species”.

IMHO, treat any dangerous dog breed like it could be a killer, until it shows you otherwise! And remember, back anyone or anything into a corner, and don’t be surprised when it comes out with teeth and nails flying!

Very important that you look at the blood line of any dog for a couple of generations and see how the predecessors behaved. If there was trouble in the past, then you had probably better plan accordingly.

Best of Luck,
M Richardson

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.

Ill try to make this short.

Dogs were bred for different purposes. You wouldnt try to get your Springer Spaniel to herd cattle. Ive got a Lab / Blue Heeler mix. He's never seen a cow in his life but when he was about 8 months old he dropped into a perfect 'herding' posture and started sneaking up on a 'herd' of little dogs at the dog park. Genetics.

Pits were also bred for a purpose. Dog fighting and tenacity. They were also purposly bred for NO human aggression. You have to have human handlers in the fighting rings. Also at the end of the day of fighting they went back home to the farm and were the family pet.

Youll never totally overcome genetics, but you cant tell me pits were bred to be dangerous killers. Dangerous to other dogs maybe, but never to humans

I love my pit but she doesnt go around other dogs (except Jake) because she doesnt like other dogs. Great around people tho...and cats
