A few years ago, a beautiful brown red-nosed pit bull showed up at my front door. He didn’t have a collar. I think he was dropped off. He was scared and hungry so I took him in and fed him. I kept him for a few months until I found him a good home. He had intimidating looks, but was the sweetest dog I’ve ever met however he didn’t like other dogs. One day we were sitting on my front porch when my asshole neighbor was walking his small p.o.s designer dog. His dog decides to take a shit on my front lawn. Pit bull didn’t like it and decided he wanted to eat his dog. I had to restrain him. These dogs are strong as hell. The look of my neighbor’s pale face was gold. I apologized and then laughed as he walked away with soiled shorts. Man, I should’ve kept that dog.
Did your neighbor pick up his dog's crap in your yard? If not, would have been a good time to unleash FURY on him - lol.

No, he was scared of pit bull more than his little dog was. Neighbor actually pee’d himself. The thought did cross my mind about unleashing fury though...lol

Just for record so more misinformation isn't spread about this breed the dog that bites the most people in this country is a Chihuahua......:rolleyes:
Who cares? Most people bitten by Chihuahuas don't even know it. They're like COVID-19 that way. The thing with Pit Bulls and other such breeds, is not that they are more likely to break bad, rather the severity of the consequences if they do.

My wife wanted to bring home a rescue dog from a local shelter. This one came up to WI from down south somewhere. Turns out it was a Pitbull Pointer cross that was used as a bait dog. This little thing has issues, but after two years in our house it's a pretty decent dog. Still has plenty of fear issues and needs careful control, but it's slowly chilling out.

Sounds like responsible ownership. Feel free to post some pics!

99% of dog breeds + good owner= amazing dog

99% of dog breeds + bad owner= imperfect dog (maybe it’s “nippy”, maybe barks too much, maybe overprotective, maybe skittish, but it’s not deadly)

pitbull + good owner = amazing dog

pitbull + bad owner = potentially deadly dog

there are plenty of bad owners of every breed of dog, but never are the stakes higher than they are with a pitbull. Am I wrong?

And what? "put bull" isn't a brewed but slang for a group of breeds. Pit Bulls also make up +40% of all dogs in America, 60%+ of all dogs in shelters and 99% of all dogs used in illegal dog fighting.


I'd like to see the race, criminal record and economic status of any dog owner involved ins a fatal dog attack.

I bet it will be shockingly not shocking.

IMHO, yes. Plenty of other breeds (and mutts) are at least as dangerous and susceptible to bite.

IMHO, yes. See below.
Define "bad owner".

Short of being an abusive piece of human shit that belongs in jail, there is no way a pit bull is killing a person.

You have to actively make a dog aggressive.

For the most part, but a bad owner making a GSD, Rottweiler, Doberman, etc aggressive will be deadly as well.

Where are the Staffordshire Terrier's and all of the other "Bully" breeds? Anything that looks like a Pitbull (technically an American Pit Bull Terrier that isn't even recognized by the AKC) gets lumped in as a "Pitbull" but in reality can be one of several different breeds.

Does it really matter, since it's all about the owners, anyway? I don't discount that factor, BTW. The sort of bad owners relevant to his thread tend not to acquire tea cup poodles.

As I alluded to earlier, I don't think pits are more likely to attack a person, they are just better at it if they do.

I have been around plenty of pits, during the service of search warrants, which were big cuddly babies once somebody was actually nice to them. This was often under pretty awful conditions, and the dogs were still good doggies despite their owners.

I have had dobbies before, back when they were the incarnation of evil, so I get the defensiveness. But to not recognize the lethal potential of one's dog is just emotional silliness.

I recognize the lethal potential of my dog. Just like I recognize the lethal potential of my guns (prior to the unfortunate boating accident), and the lethal potential of my cars. I mitigate those risks. The #1 way to do that with the dog is to be a responsible, loving owner.

Some pics of my bait boy from a dog rescue group. The larger yellow one is our runaway miss that we picked up from the pound. Bait boy was chained to a pole while he got bit on by the fighters. He has some skin cancer going on, some battle scars, a botched neuter job, and his number shit tattooed next to his junk.

He came to us pretty much a mess. He still has plenty of fear of stuff and has little idea how to interact with humans, but has calmed a lot since we've had him and have been working with him.
