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
</div></div>
I notice this at the dog parks. Pits generally don't play well with other dogs. I've got a Pit-Lab mix and he is border-line. He likes the people at dog parks more than the dogs. He also loves the really rough play with pits, bulldogs, and other "bully" breeds.
Fortunately, he is well socialized and won't pick fights or pester other dogs but there is definitely a big part of him that loves the rough play (although food comes first - he is part Lab).

Incorrect sir... "Pit Bull" is considered a slang term due to them being used in Pit Fighting. Their real name is Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, etc. Just because some gives it a nickname doesn't make it their intended purpose.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
I love Pitbulls and pretty much all bully breeds. That being said, the Bull terrior is not the same animal. The Bull terrior is like the dog that Target uses for their ads. I also believe the UKC recognizes them as American Pit Bull Terriors, amoung other names.
I have owned many different bully breeds, including the Pitbull, and I will repeat what some others have said. A dog is an animal. To think of them as anything else is dellusional. Good training and a stable, well balanced home are your best bets to have a family pet. If that family pet ever bites someone or something, then you are unfortunate. If you want a family pet that is, without a doubt, never going to bite anything, GET A PET ROCK!

Naa, UKC recognizes the Bull Terrier as the Bull Terrier (the Target dog), which incidentally, long ago, was a pit fighter.
UKC also recognizes the APBT as a separate breed (the Pit Bull most people recogize).

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Got to love this site recently. A guy can't put up a cute video of his dog without it becoming a big fucking fight about something. Someone can post the sky is blue and there would be a bunch of guys arguing that. It's getting sad

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
The biggest problem with "pit bulls" APBT is the breeding or the lack there of. Working with rescue groups and the humane society, the problem pitty's we see are so deeply inbred because of people wanting to keep the bloodline tight is the issue. That's my 2 cents.

An Am Staff is not a pitbull fyi. They are a different, taller breed. You can't roll all bulldog breeds together, they are all different from each other.

You based your opinion on the breed by ONE dog. Do you know how many pits are in the country? You cant condemn a breed by one dog. If that is the case then dalmations should all be characterized as serious threats as well. Ive seen them bite and be aggressive with children more then any other breed of dog.

No, you questioned my research. I stated that I had personal experience with one. I also work at a Children's hospital and have personally seen the damage that a Pit Bull can do to a child's face.
Yes, every dog can lash out, regardless of breed. What I don't like is a breed that is genetically engineered to be mean and people trying to justify having them as pets.
By all means if you want one as a pet you have that right. I don't believe a city should be able to say that you can't own one. Feel free to own a Lion as well. But when the animal that is meant to be mean lashes out and injures someone (god forbid it is a child) don't expect sympathy.

Lazy21, I know, 0-Shitty in 60 posts.
Many people have as much "dog" sense as some people have "gun" sense.
When a kid gets bitten, I sort of blame the owner/parents for the incident.
Is it a 5 y/o's fault? Is it the animals?
NO. It's the owner/parent that puts/lets the two together. I imported a 3 y/o male GSD (read BIG bucks) and after 2 weeks, I still didn't trust the dog with the kids, sold him to Sarsota S.O. Broke my heart, he was beautiful, but had never been socialized around little kids. But, in 4 months got this dog, who had been around kids.

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. </div></div>
They have been bred to do a job, emotions have no part in that. Sounds like your experience was with a dog that possibly had some sort of health or mental problem that led to it be aggressive. Stating that they are not good dogs for families or couples with other animals is also not true.
I know of a lot of pit and pit mix owners that heavily socialize their dogs, never have problems taking my staffordshire/boxer mix to my future inlaws where there are several other dogs. Pits were also very popular family dogs back in the early 1900s. I don't have children but if I did I would not hesitate to let my dog be alone with them. All pit owners that I know love their dogs and most say they are the best dogs they have ever had.
Well enough about that, mine just likes to cuddle with people at any chance though she can be an enforcer when needed. She doesn't like violence so if I am play fighting with my fiancee she will step in and try to stop whoever was the instigator, usually by getting her jaws around their arm. She will never bite down, just enough pressure to let you know she doesn't want you to continue "hitting" each other. If you stop she rewards you with kisses to the face, haha.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Typical pit bull attack wound. Your kids are next.
When I was 14 and my brother was 5, a pit bull entered our back lot and attacked my little brother.
I intervened and got ripped from A to Z.
I was 100 pounds and in the top 1% of toughness for my size in my jr high school, but that pit bull could whip me. It was faster than I was! It would jump, bite, shake, drop, repeat.
My mother took me to the doctor, as my body looked like hamburger. I was given a tetanus shot and told to bathe in detergent.
Now the media seems to perpetrate this idea that it is the owner, and not the breed.
You may think you get angry when someone spouts shit in your face about gun control, global warming, sharing the wealth, or some other opinionated topic. But you should see what an obnoxious a$$ hole I become when someone tries to tell me what gentle pets that pit bulls make.

From the above website: DogsBite.org is a national dog bite victims' group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks. Through our work, we hope to protect both people and pets from future attacks.
Thats the biggest mis-statement I've ever seen. Its simply an anti-pit bull site. At least call it what it is.
Sorry for what happened to you and your brother. Looks painful to say the least. But you're still not banning my dog. This is still a responsible owner issue not a dog issue. Pit bulls need strong owners and strong enclosures. They (nor any other dog) should roam free and unsupervised. My dog does NOT go out off-leash. Its not safe. Its not safe for her. Some anti-pit jack-leg might take a shot at her. So I like and other responsible dog owner, ensure her safety.
This is a tough issue with strong emotions on both sides. And it will likely never be solved.

Typical pit bull attack wound. Your kids are next.
When I was 14 and my brother was 5, a pit bull entered our back lot and attacked my little brother.
I intervened and got ripped from A to Z.
I was 100 pounds and in the top 1% of toughness for my size in my jr high school, but that pit bull could whip me. It was faster than I was! It would jump, bite, shake, drop, repeat.
My mother took me to the doctor, as my body looked like hamburger. I was given a tetanus shot and told to bathe in detergent.
Now the media seems to perpetrate this idea that it is the owner, and not the breed.
You may think you get angry when someone spouts shit in your face about gun control, global warming, sharing the wealth, or some other opinionated topic. But you should see what an obnoxious a$$ hole I become when someone tries to tell me what gentle pets that pit bulls make.

When my brother was very young he was torn up by a Malamute/Retriever mix to say it was bad is an understatement.To this day he won't have anything to do with big dogs.That said he will be the first to say there is no logic to his continued fear it's purely an emotional response.
There are very bad pitbulls,Rotts,Dobies,Blacks ,Whites,Hispanics and so on and people are hurt and suffer greatly because of this.To condem any race or species across the board is emotion based and not logical.
Please don't take this as condesending you were hurt very bad and your viewpoint is easily understood much like a mother who's son was killed by gun violence.Nothing you say can change that viewpoint.
There are many other breeds that were bred to be people aggressive pits were not but they are very powerful like many other Alpha breeds.I promise if had been a Rott that was on you that day it would'nt have ended any better.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Well..... my wife took our 3 Jack Russell's for a walk on Saturday morning and when she got in our front yard the neighbors pit bull was loose and attacked our dogs. Jake now has a drain in his neck plus several stitches. Jesse our female has a couple staples in her front shoulder.
Glad my wife did not get attacked in this ordeal.
Boo Boo the pit bull soon was introduced to me and he never made it home. I am no longer a fan of pit bulls. They can not be trusted.
The owner now has written a check for $800 for vet bills and no longer has a dog.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Plus I couldn't count the times I have seen on the news where pit bulls have attacked their owners, kids, etc.
Safe to say that if I have any future issues with this breed and the end result will be the same what Boo Boo received.

Sorry this happened to your dogs but it kinda stresses what many have been saying they attacked your dogs not your wife.They are bred for animal aggression.But the more important thing is why was the dog loose?Anyone that would allow a power breed of any type to rom free is about as responsible as someone who allows firearms acces to a 5 year old.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
I think all dogs could turn viscious, but the amount of damage a dog with pitbull in it, mixed or pure bread, is the scary part. If the Pit breed is so great, why are there some cities that have outlawed them? I had a personal experience with a boxer pit that my wife had to bring home. Good dog, but I warned her that things can change quickly. They Did. The dog wen haywire and attacked my birddog twice and her anatolian shepherd all within an hour. It was very clear that the dog had every intent to kill the other dogs. There was no food around and they had all been together in their 1/4 acre enclosure. The dog jst lost its mind. I think that that is the problem with the pit. they can and have proven to be great until someithing just shorts out in their head. I am just glad it wasn't one of my kids!

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Education is the key. Too many people buy dogs based on their size or looks, to few educate themselves on the nature of the dog, nervous, laid back, needs attention, intelligent etc.
Pit Bulls where bread for fighting other dogs and even 2000lb bulls.
Pit bulls may be the only dog that has been extensively bread to not attack humans.
With education comes the knowledge that most Pit Bulls should be in a one dog family, after all, they were bread to fight.
Large or "dangerous' dogs should never be left alone with small children or small pets. as their is a natural pecking order that all dogs adhere to.
All Pit Bulls have the fighting instinct. In most dogs the desire to fight may never show, in others the fight can come from any provocation.
A Pit Bull should never be unleashed in a dog park, (Pit Bulls are a fighting breed) when A Pit Bull is provoked into fighting, the fight is not over until one of the dogs is dead or the fight has been stopped.
IMHO, Pit Bulls are excellent family dogs.
like a handgun, Pit Bulls have bad reputation because some people have used them for the wrong purpose.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
A dog is an animal. As it turns out, dogs have thousands of years of breeding in them for one purpose or another. We have different breeds of dogs and not a bunch of domesticated wolves running around because certain traits were singled out for certain purposes and were bred on down the lines. Some dogs have been bred for herding, some for retrieving, some for hunting, some for killing, some as pets, and some for general work. In my experience, the larger dogs often used for work or hunting have power, but generally have a better socialization record than do smaller dogs that have been trained to seek out prey and destroy it. Issues arise when you have a powerful dog that has socialization problems or bad owners. The same people who applaud people for shooting Pit Bulls are the same people who would be outraged that someone shot a Cocker Spaniel that was attacking a child or pet.
I've been around dogs all my life and have had blood drawn from bites from a Miniature Dachshund, a Boston Terrier, and a Chihuahua. My wife nearly needed stitches as a child from a Pomeranian that escaped its owners' yard. No other dogs I've encountered have bitten me aside from in play, and that was quickly discouraged. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Pit Bulls, Saint Bernards, Old English Sheepdogs, English Bulldogs, Boxers, Huskies, Australian Shepherds, Beagles, Jack Russels, Great Danes, and a myriad of mutts have all interacted quite well with me. They also had good owners.
If people research their dog breed, obtain a dog from a reliable source, socialize the animal well, train the animal well, and keep their animal on their own property, I would be willing to be that they will never have a problem with that animal. Conversely, if you get a Pit Bull from a puppy mill, keep it chained up and throw food at it a few times a week, when it gets off its chain it may very well be inclined to attack another animal or person. People are responsible for animals. You cannot expect an animal to possess logic and reason their actions through. Animals only know what is in their instincts, breeding, and upbringing.
Dogs possess the reasoning capabilities of a two-year-old. How many two-year-old children do you see playing outside by themselves? What would you think of a parent who let their toddler roam the neighborhood streets and yards? Would you leave a couple of two-year-olds in a closed room together with a knife and no supervision? Would you then leave a dog and a two-year-old in a room unsupervised? The problem here is not that dogs can hurt people. The problem is people do not understand what responsibility for their animals ultimately means. Animals with sharp pointy teeth and claws are capable of harming people, animals, and furniture - so treat them accordingly and with that degree of responsibility, and the world will be a better place.

check what this retard says who's own pet killed his wife
PACIFICA, Calif., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- The husband of a pregnant California woman fatally mauled by the family's pet pit bull says he doesn't blame the dog, which was shot and killed by police.
"They are the most loving animals I have ever had in my life. Whatever happened right now was not the breed's fault," Greg Napora of Pacifica said.
Napora found his wife dead when he returned home from his construction job, the Bay Area News Group reported Monday.
"It was just a freak accident," he said.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
The band wagon jumps on the viscious pitt car. Yeah, BFD!
The most viscious dog I ever met was a damn long haired Golden Retriever. He attacked out of the blue three seperate times, and each one a small child AFTER we warned the owner.
Training doesn't matter for jack or shit with ANY DOG.
Socialization with both good humans and other animals is what makes a dog 'right'. Proper parenting The breed of the dog does not matter. ANY of the dog has aggressive tendancies If you go out and get a dog, you owe it to the dog, your family, and others to insure it is properly socialized, trained, and worked on a daily basis to insure stability in attitude.
Besides, how can you NOT love this?

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
When I see a pit bull, I get my hand in my pocket and get a hold of my pistol. I get ready for the quick draw with my right arm and put my sacrificial left arm forward.
When the neighbor's Rottweiler bit another neighbor's dog, the police showed up and shot the Rottweiler. The shot dog ran off. The local grade schools were on lock down, and the TV news truck parked here with generators running all night, waiting for the dog to come home.
I spotted the wanted dog and called it in. A minute later a dog catcher truck sped past me, following my tip.
I never felt like I had to grip my gun when I saw the Rottweiler, because no Rottweiler had ever ripped me into hamburger.
My only wish is that pit bull owners could share my point of view.

So your talking about a rott when this thread is about a pitbull.... that doesn't really pertain to this discussion. Every breed is capable of attack. Why don't we see more stories surface about how many jack russels are the cause of bites and lacerations on small children's faces? I personally know 3 different families that had to get rid of jack russels because they couldn't not be around small kids.

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
then there is blantant pussy stupidity. It's not the breed of dog. It's the owner's lack of proper socialization and training of the animal. Me, I get a bit vigilant when I see golden retrievers and other so called 'harmless' dogs.
No dog is naturally viscious unless htey are let to be that way. Aggressive behavior comes from lack of the aforementioned work.
Rotts, Bully breeds, and all the big badasses take lots of work to properly socialize and train. Many lack the ability to be smarter than these dogs. Therin lies the issue. Bulleit, yeah, he'll rip your hand off along with the gun or knife. You pull that stuff, you will get shredded. You think you're quicker than he is, ha, not a chance, he was trained by quick and you will lose. You want the most loyal dog to watch over your woman when she goes out? Bulleit will guard his mistress with dilligance and the greatest vigilance. When his kids walk him, he is at ease unless an adult comes up to them, then he goes on point.
Is he one of no fear? Hell no! He runs like a yellow bitch when Panty 6 breaks out the vacuum, or I get the bath leash. Get the hose or a squirt bottle and he gets weary.
Most of the time though, he is just lieing on the couch, the deck in the sun, or on the floor being relaxed and lazy. Typical dawg, and a damn good one too!
then there is blantant pussy stupidity. It's not the breed of dog. It's the owner's lack of proper socialization and training of the animal. Me, I get a bit vigilant when I see golden retrievers and other so called 'harmless' dogs.
No dog is naturally viscious unless htey are let to be that way. Aggressive behavior comes from lack of the aforementioned work.
Rotts, Bully breeds, and all the big badasses take lots of work to properly socialize and train. Many lack the ability to be smarter than these dogs. Therin lies the issue. Bulleit, yeah, he'll rip your hand off along with the gun or knife. You pull that stuff, you will get shredded. You think you're quicker than he is, ha, not a chance, he was trained by quick and you will lose. You want the most loyal dog to watch over your woman when she goes out?

Re: A serious warning about pitbulls.
Here is from a snake owner:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> snake is almost like a dog. If it is angry, it'll bite, like many other animals. Some snakes may not bite. Some relave a spray, while other's show body parts. Yet, just like a dog, a snake knows when it's being bad, when it strikes, it may draw blood. lightly tap your sanke on the nose, but not too light, you want your snake to know who is the boss. Not too hard so it does it again. Wash your hands. Snakes are very low maintenance on thereselves. Therefore, they carry alot of germs.</div></div>
I would like to put a trained and well behaved rattle snake in the sleeping bag of every pit bull owner.
