re: My daughters dog attacked my dog

Is there any hope for this dog or will he need to be put down?

I don't think it's even a close call. This one needs to go.

I was on my way outside with a 2x4 to bash his head in because I didn't have my pistol handy.

Mistake #1.

Call the Vet. See if you can get them to report the dog to animal services. The will take the dog.

Pitbulls are usually more aggressive to other dogs and animals. They are trying to establish dominance, that is usually why they attack kids, they view them as equals. He is just trying to establish where he is in the pack. The alpha needs to establish dominance, but you shouldn't kill him for what his instincts are telling him to do.

Not at all. Sounds like the dog has real potential based on its instincts. tiger94gopo you got in Michael Vick type connections? We shouldn't hinder this pups attempts to establish where he is in the pack, right?

WTF? All I meant was he didn't have to kill the dog and the dog is his daughter's responsibility, so make accommodations for the dog (separate him from other animals, muzzle, find a new owner, etc.). This is more on ownership and not understanding the animal than the dog, he is just being a dog. Now how you got your conclusions, I don't what is wrong with you.

1/2 lab 1/2 pitbull


It has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the fact that women can't raise dogs.

Nothing? That’s certainly not true. There’s plenty of breeds that have almost no issues no matter the owners .

Wait till he gets out and attacks the neighbors kids and they find out that it has attacked your dog twice and cat once! That should be an easy lawsuit for "Get Gordon"!

Shot the dam thing

When I was probably about 13 years old I used to fish at this local pond that I knew the owner really well. He had a pit bull I would pet every day. Sometimes I would take a break from the bass fishing and catch some enormous catfish. She (pitbull) would come lay by me while I was fishing and I would pet her every day. She was very old and spoiled. She had no teeth. I was petting her one day and lunged at me biting my forearm. I can remember this 33 years later it was like having a vise on your arm. She would not let go the owner was there and had to hit her over the head with a 2x4 to get her to release. He then put the dog down. Pits are too unpredictable for me.

You already know the answer to this....

.22 bullets are cheap and you only need 1

I think he needs to be put down but I'm 100% sure she won't do it because she's had him 3 years

Does your daughter live with you, or is she there with her dog for the holidays?
