Yeah, no. I’ve been attacked by a German shepherd

when we got our GSD (RIP Charles Barkley ) he had severe dog aggression. we got him when he was abt 7 months old, but we sent him to a special dog trainer and after 3 months, he was a new dog. We also, had to learn how to be the 'alpha' to him to give him direction and the confidence that we would 'lead him' if that makes any sense.


he came back, literally as a gentle giant. :hearts:

had we not done that, I have no doubt that he would've attacked someone, or unintentionally one of us trying to protect us.

big dog ownership requires that you be aware of the inherent nature of the animal, learn how to lead such animal and have the confidence and skills to do that well.

eta: I’m not sure that what I said applies to pit bull breeds. I think to a degree, that breed will remain more dangerous and unpredictable that other breeds.

I stepped out into the driveway just to take a peek, I saw a black dog lying down on the ground, deceased, which is super sad,' he said.

Uh, no, it’s NOT sad, idiot.

I don't want to hear how we don't need ARs with more than 10 rounds anymore.

Did anyone else in here immediately wonder how they’d fare in a fight with 3 pit bulls? I’m a normal sized dude but I still like my chances against domesticated dogs unless they have rabies.

Remember back in the myspace days, when people would come over and ask to use your PC to check myspace? I had an edgelord friend who you'd turn your back on for 2 mins at a party and he'd be trying to show everyone gore on weird greyweb sites.

The crime scene photos from a burgular hopping a pit owner's fence are the most fricked up things I've ever seen. The only meat on left on the guy's face was at the edges. One of his arms was skinned to the bone. The pit had one gouge to its forehead where the dude managed to get a finger between himself and vicious, snarling death.

You against 3 motivated pits? You might as well go fight sharks in water.

"KCCI went to speak with the owner of the dogs on Monday, but he was hostile to our crew, yelling obscenities and telling them to go away before walking into his home."

So, looks like it wasn’t her dogs, most articles did not make that clear.

Don't kid yourself into thinking the risk is off the table.

oh don't worry, we didn't. he was a very sweet doggo for a long time, but we were always cautious when littles were around him.

Pretty sure the data doesn’t support them on the same list as a pit bull, but I have been wrong in the past.
