re: Video of pittbull latched onto another pittbull

I find your level of ignorance comical. My buddy has a 120 lb pitbull. He looks scary as hell but he is one of the nicest dogs i've met. My other friend's daughter rides around on him like a horse and he doesnt care in the slightest. This must be hard for you to understand, but like humans, dogs learn much of their behavior when they are young and their personalities when they are older hinge on early positive, negative, or lack of human interaction. Say you have a group of puppies that everyone loves like Golden Retrievers. Well if these puppies grow up while being physically abused or they grow up with no human interaction, they will probably not act like the friendly, every day pet golden retrievers. They will probably act like wild dogs who are territorial aggressive towards other dogs and even people. So why dont you open your eyes a little bit before spouting your ignorant opinions on the internet.

Show me all the stories about golden retrievers who grew up abused that fricking ate babies.and I'm the ignorant one.

Because I despise Pittbulls and find it comical that anyone could defend the breed that's why.

That's all fine and well but how did you come to this conclusion? It's not really all that different from saying you don't like assault weapons because they kill a lot of people, but you have never actually been shot by one and you rely on someone you have never met to make the identification.

Dogs are one of those weird things that invoke some stupid emotional response. It's weird to me that a grown man would be so against a breed of dog.

Does it make ypu proud that you started this shitshow

Way to not read the thread.

No one seems to be hating on dogs...

But i can tell you this, if you were to receive a 2 month old pitbull today and you raised him correctly you wouldnt have any problems with him attacking people or other dogs, unprovoked. He would turn out to be a good pet.

I don't down vote, so not me but I'll respond to this. You need to dig just a little deeper. The problem is, provoked or unprovoked, the potential to kill is there, and given the right set of circumstances, so is the propensity. This cannot be said for most of the other breeds.

The best dog I ever had was a brindle pit I got when he was 7 weeks old. He was a loyal, almost constant companion for our entire family, including my sons, who were toddlers at the time. He was incredibly smart, understood every word I said to him, and could be controlled with a single word from me. He was leash trained to the point that I no longer needed a leash. I could put him through his paces with only hand signals. If you ever intended harm to my family, you would have first had to kill him.

While I was at work one day, a thief climbed my fence to break into my shop. The dog was sleeping on the front side of the shop and was not noticed. The shop had one door in, one door out. When the thief woke him up rummaging in my shop, he was screwed. My dog removed two of his fingers before he got away. I had to fight the city to keep him from being euthanized then. He was doing his job.

But a thinking person realizes that a kid could climb that fence. Something completely innocent could happen that flips the switch for him, and without myself or my family to command him, he was nothing short of a weapon, set on kill. If you can't admit that the potential for disaster exists in this breed, you are not being honest with others, or yourself.

I cried like a pussy when I had him put down, but it was the right thing to do. I didn't get another dog for 12 years, and the new one isn't fit to wear my pit's collar, but it was still the right thing to do.

TL/DR I know.

I've seen a roaming pit go into a mans yard and attack his lab

Legitimate question, how did you decide it was a pitbull? Or are we lumping a bunch of dogs in to a single category?

I'm just curious as to what makes anyone other than a veterinarian qualified to make the identification. I suppose we could rely on the news media to tell us, right?

A pitbull killed dimebag.

First, I gave him a steak.

Then, I shot him in the face.

like how the White Mexican guy looks around and makes the apparent decision that he is outnumbered and nothing good is about to happen. He just eases into his car and backs away.

Breaks the leash and then slowly walks back to the drivers side, and drops the leash and leaves. Was classic
