pit bulls maul owner to death

[svtfocus2cobra]

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

She got put down. She was my friend's dog but she liked me the most so I kept her. She was with him while I was out of town though and she nearly took his fingers off. She was being really nice to him and rolling over for him to rub her belly and then she just snapped on him and bit threw two of his fingers. This was par for the course with her and he said enough was enough. She went out the old school way and went out like a champ from what I was told. She was a badass dog despite the problems so I wouldn't have it any other way. She was a flight risk from day one, but he said she went and sat in the hole he dug for her on her own and waited.

Had problems out of one of mine and his ass got ghosted. I had an Akita rescued from the animal shelter that was a lean mean ass eating machine. He was very protective of his home and loved our cat even though it was mutual. He ran off and I couldn’t get him back.

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.

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'm dating a dog trainer at the moment and you are 110% correct. I watched her work over my friends terribly trained lab and it was like a magic show. A well trained dog is an amazing thing. If your dog jumps on people, pulls you around on the leash, barks all the time, you're doing it way wrong.

Look at inner city kids and how they're raised and how they turn out as adults. The mentality of a lot of pit bull owners is the problem not the animals. I see them all the time in shithole yards or on a long chain, that person can barely provide for themselves, I doubt they're real caring and spend lots of time properly training their guard dogs.


I took in two Scottish terriers 5 and 3. The 5 year old is half the size of the 3 year old, but hes the alpha. But when they spar, which they do all the time, anyone in their way is just collateral damage.

I don't view the breed badly at all, but I wouldn't personally ever own one let alone two,

Damn, seriously gruesome detail.

Dalmation is not surprising. I read that the genes on that breed is incredibly screwed up. They have a lot of problems.

Defiantly wouldn't recommend Scotties either, I didn't choose them but love em to death, they're aggressive stubborn monsters sometimes, bred to hunt they have a killer instinct. Been bit a handful of times, actually only dog that's ever bitten me, unintentionally but still, they go fight mode and get tunnel vision.

They have a pretty decent jaw strength but probably not a quarter of what these dogs had. I could see her trying to break up a scuffle and was taken down then animal instinct kicked in and tasted blood, hard to imagine just randomly attacking her while on a walk tho.

The basics here...

The "pitbull", American Pitbull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, English Bull Terrier, ect are all similar. Lets not forget what they are, "Bull AND Terrier", which stands that it originated from the cross of a bull and terrier (basic breeds which preceded many of the later breeds), originally intended to be used for gaming sports like dog baiting, rat baiting, bull baiting, ect.

The terrier part was introduced for speed and tenacity, as well as the bull for sheer strength. If you think "pitbulls" are the only "gamely" dogs, I encourage you to take a close look at some of the terrier group. The Jack Russell can be downright fanatical, and ridiculous to deal with... albeit smaller and much less dangerous.

However, introduce "bull" into the breed and now you have size, speed, strength, and tenacity. It can be a very dangerous mix... and unfortunately it often is. Not because the breed is inherently unstable, on the contrary they are known for being friendly and loyal.

The breed is dangerous because people raise them improperly. They aren't unstable spawns of the devil. They are friendly, loving dogs that are the victim of poor circumstances because APBT are as common in ghettos and trailer parks as ill bred fools that are so insecure they need to hide behind an intimidating dog.

You don't hear nearly as much about Staffordshire Bull Terriers or English Bull Terriers because they aren't sold for 50-100$ from the guy who also sells crack rocks and stolen radios.

Where can I find them? I might look at the dogs too!

There are two things involved here.

1. Some people should not own dogs for a variety of reasons.
2. Unless you are raising a dog from a puppy, then you have no idea what you are getting into. Dogs, like humans have the potential for PTSD. So with that, there is always something that could trigger it to act aggressively. The problem is that you will never know what that is until it happens. It could be something as simple as jingling your keys, because maybe a prior owner would beat the dog with a keyring...or whatever. But you get the idea.

Obviously these dogs love to eat ribs.

Yes, it was. VERY gruesome. There wasn't enough chest cavity left (from what I read on Fox News) to match tooth bite marks to the dogs' teeth.

Yes plain and simple. Backyard breeding is the apbt’s biggest problem.

Pretty much can be said for all breeds IMO.

Problem is most people can handle most breeds but put an apbt in the wrong hands and they get ****ed up.

You go against their natural instinct and train an apbt to be a gaurd dog and to attack humans and now you have an out of control weapon.

They were never bred to gaurd property and to Never be aggressive towards humans.
