pit bulls maul owner to death

[BrunotheBoxer]

My girls are inside dogs and when they’re out in my backyard, I’m out there with them keeping an eye on them. I definitely get what you’re saying though.



I’m ok with that. I’d be the one waving bye.

I do the same. I have fenced in yards but my dog is never alone outside. I trust no one.

Most of the time it isn't even a real pit. It's these stupid American bully dogs. Don't see what the fascination with these is. They're about the ugliest dog breed around.

I tend to side with MFE. Most pit bulls owners are not people I'm interested in spending time around. My friend got a pair of siblings from a rescue he volunteered at, I stopped going over his house after a while because the dogs were annoying. Then one murdered the other one inside his house... That ended the excuse train that would come if you said anything bad about pits around him.

The breed has alot energy and most people are too stupid or lazy to exercise them properly and shouldn't own them to begin with. And there are so many better options it seems. Though I prefer the no dog option. It's nice to not have to come home every 8 hours, and not have fur everywhere, and be picking shit up on a daily basis.

If you have a game bred apbt you can not own any other dog. Too bad your friend had to learn that the hard way.

The excuses people are making for hating the breed due to a handful of owners are the same excuse you can make for any medium to large breed.

It is funny though seeing as how many of of you are the “over my dead body” crew about firearms when the wrong person gets ahold of one.

He got them as puppies.

You still can only own one apbt at a time unless you want to crate and rotate for the dogs lives.
As a puppy you won’t know if an apbt is game bred.

Trust me I’m not advocating for this breed for everyone. Just the opposite. These dogs are not for everyone and a poor choice for most homes. The shows on tv like pit bulls and paroles does just the opposite of what is good for the apbt. I just know that I love the breed and for me and my family it is a good fit.

Personality dependent. I've had 2 pits, both rescues from shelters. The 1st was very sweet & timid & relaxed. Well behaved as well. The 2nd had anger issues. I had to take her back. She tried to kill my gf's beagle.

Lot of bad information and ill will in these comments. I wonder about the 50% number tho, since many people can't tell the difference between a pittie and one that "looked like a pitbull"

Actually if you wanna be technical about it there is no such breed of dog known as pitbull. There are several bully breeds but no pitbull.

So when the media says “pitbull” attack they sound like the ****in fool tools they are.

You make a valid point.

Still doesn't negate the fact that half of dog attack deaths are from Pits and the other half is split among breeds.

Point is sometimes you can't train instinct out of a dog.
Just saying

I think this goes back to the point in my previous post. Pitbulls are too popular for their own good and too many of the wrong people own them. Even as I mentally cycle through my group of dog-owning friends, it's hard to think of anyone who has a different breed. One of my close friends has a Chihuahua and a pitbull. Another one of my friends has a Pomeranian and a pitbull. Could be because of my age demographic but I also can't help but to think of the last time I went to a dog adoption fair and saw majority (maybe 95%) were atleast part apbt. Many with a past, I'm sure.

My friend who owns the chihuahua and pit, they never walk them. Surprisingly enough, the dogs go crazy whenever they have guests over. My thing is if one isn't willing to do everything it takes to properly raise a dog (walks, feeding times, etc) you probably shouldn't own a dog.

Yeah, this is true. More of a general classification than an actual breed.

I bet a big problem with the incidents we hear about comes from shelter and rescue dogs. Doesn't matter what breed it is, you have to be able to read a dog's behavior and reapond accordingly. I think a lot of people reacue dogs, feeling like they are doing the right thing, but dont even realize the dog is stalking them around the house or challenging them the first day home.

We have had 5 rescues so far between myself and my close friends. I had the one Husky and then my friend and his girl has had 4 Malamutes. My Husky was wild to say the least. She loved me but she could not be broken and it led to her demise. My friend that gave her up raised her from a puppy but she spent mpat of her life outside with other dogs fending for herself while he was on deployment and then the oil fields. She was an alpha through and through and never let any dog, no matter the size, dominate her. I watched her mount the back of a 140lb Malamute and bite his neck. It happened so fast and was crazy to see, but they always fought back and forth for dominance. That 140lb Malamute was a rescue too. The people before tried to keep him in an apartment somehow which is absurd for those dogs. The first night they got him home my friend's gf said he started following her around the house and eventually cornered her. His tail and ears were down and he was hunched low. She called to my friend and he went to war with that dog right there until he broke him. That dog is one of the most loyal, smartest, and well behaved dogs I have ever known. Malamutes have strong personalities and are very smart which he is no exception.

Point is though, that I think most people dont have the slightest clue how to handle the whole dominance isaue with dogs. They dont know the signs and they dont know how far to take it with a dog to dominate them. You dont dominate a dog that hasn't been broken and it will walk all over you and probably kill something at some point. You try to tell it to stop and it will just ignore you because you are not the boss according to the dog.

I never got into the whole 'breaking' thing - and I've raised Huskies my whole life.

You show the dog from DAY ONE you are the boss, and you dont have these issues. Training dogs is simple, really it is. People just go about it the wrong way 99.9% of the time.

And when dogs get into fights, people just shut down, no idea how to react. Its sad.

It wasn't like a beating sort of thing, just pinning them down until they submit. I only hit her when she was in the middle of biting to get her off or to let go. When she showed signs that she was going to bite I would snatch her up by the scruff and flip her over until she went limp and stopped fighting. This is, she always reverted back to the same bad behavior. Every other dog responded with improvement after just a few times of this. She was not normal though and had some serious issues that could not be resolved.

Most people do not bother to train or have their dogs trained & just let them run the show. I see idiots all the time with the dog walking them & they think that's ok & normal. Most of the people in my neighborhood that have a dog seem to fall under this. Always acting out, barking at everything, etc. Idiots. Most people are not fit to care for any animals.

I gotcha - had to get rid of her? or put her to sleep?
