Another waiting statistic. Or maybe we'll hear next week about the family lab who attacked their owners lol. A cop in the hood lol...

sure as a kid I got bit a lot, didn't know what to look for, now its different, I know if they are gonna bite, except pits, they die on sight, the last 8 years I think 23 have got their final reward, every dope head in this county has a pit either in the house or chained outside, if they have a manufacturing operation going on they have 2-3 yap hounds to make noise so they know when someone shows up, if you keep Pitts a badge doesn't change anything IMO.

I have just as much use for those DP as I have for a bull dog. Zero.
Good try though.

I understand what you are saying, but I believe that only matters if you are buying or selling that breed. When 99&44/100s% percent of the public and the LE agree to call them all "pit bulls" that's what they are. It might be worth paying attention to the fact that these people are not calling them "American Pit Bull Terriers", they are simply calling them "pit bull" or "xy6(*# pit bull".
I won't worry about it at all, let Allah sort them out. I just teach them to roll over.
Merry Christmas!

Judging by the group is usually a mistake although some groups are somewhat predictable....

2005 to 20016 there were 392 fatal dog attacks in the US, 255 of which were attributed to the breeding known as the Pitt Bull, 43 were attributed to the breed of Rottweilers, all other breeds combined accounted for 94 deaths, poodles accounted for zero, anyone of the Pitt experts have an explanation besides its the owners? because of all other dog breeds there are also bound to be owners who cannot handle their dogs, my wife is a prime example, she will not make dogs listen, yet her black lab, her red healer, nor even her chiwauwa/minature pincher cross has yet to even so much as bite anyone.

We know they are strong and can be aggressive, and once Just like any other man stopping dogs. WE KNOW...

Smh, labeling of all dogs that people think are pit bulls. Half the folks who say that's a pitbull don't even know the difference between a real apbt and these mutts running around. All these bbms that are mauling people and not one mention of the other breed its mixed with?

So again, you order a dozen mb550 offset 4 coil traps. They send mb550 2 coil laminated offset. You turn around and advertise them as the original order to sale? What's the problem here? Would that fly if you were trying to get a bill passed to use a certain trap. I could see it now "oh, but it looks like the same trap, so it has to be the same trap".

I understand what you're saying my man, but you have no idea what you're talking about when you speak of pit bulls if you can't tell the difference between these bbms. Could look up the "statistics" on how many bites were confirmed apbts, and not these bbms?

Yet another, "sleeps-with-my-kids, not-an-aggressive-bone-in-his-body, sweet, loving family pet gone bad.

Musta been the way it was raised...

There, did I cover it for you pit lovers?

Oh, almost forgot, they either were or were not purebred pits, apparently it makes a difference in how much of a child's face they chew off...

I just lost a little confidence in law enforcement officers.

Nice looking pit TDHP. In my experience the only truly aggressive ones are trained that way. Never owned one because if they bite they don't stop but ain't going to bash someone who owns them.

I've never been bitten by a dog, especially a Pit Bull. A well placed bullet works everytime, it's amazing. Any "man" that owns a dog like that is lacking in the "man" department. Just the way it is. You compensate with a dog what you are lacking.

Hardly "dude". Both dogs are rescue dogs. I was not out actively seeking pitbulls for pets. But you're an expert so I'll let you tell it. Merry Christmas!:)

TDHP, thats how pits are dealt with here, what you don't know is wv has the highest per capita drug overdose average in the US, all or almost all addicts keep Pitts to scare folks away, once the dopehead moves on, the dogs stay so they are a problem. that we deal with best we can.

Rescue dogs ? Do they rescue people ? Out of all the mutts you picked the tough guy dogs ........

Here I thought they used the saint bernards as rescue dogs

When I came across Bella, the owner was not going to provide the medical attention she needed and was getting rid of her. So we took her in and provided her with the medical treatment she needed. The wife brought the latest one home which we named Nicco. The story is a sad one,BUT....Nicco has received a second chance. Ty for your concern, greatly appreciated, and no sir, my dogs aren't tough. Merry Christmas. May your days be filled with peace, hope, and joy this holiday season. :\

My two sons bought male Rottweilers from same breeder, both bit someone, 3 yr old in face, bigger Rottweiler bit my son in chest, they found out the breeder had many returned or killed because of problems, both got mean at a little over a year old, both bought as pups and treated well
Sounds like bad genetics or something

Bang..........bang.....end of problem.

I read the first thread on this topic and was amazed at the venom expressed toward a dog Type. And I do mean TYPE. I agree with TDHP there are several BREEDS of dogs that look like a pit bull terrier.
To lump them together would be like saying that a red bone, blue tick, black and tan, walker, English fox, grey hound, dachshund etc etc... are all the same. They are all hounds after all. My next door neighbors have two of that type of dog out of four. The dogs are very protective of their property, as they should be.
The wife is a retired account executive, the husband is a retired special forces operator. Hardly the druggie/addict type. As to the little man syndrome, Spec Ops retired warrior doesn't quite fit the bill either.
I have had a few close friends that had these types of dogs, only one of them would growl at you. The others I rough housed with quite a bit. And they never played any rougher than I was willing. Sheba the brindle female, the one that growled, was a very serious dog and wouldn't let anyone other than her owner pet her. I have had two Ridgebacks that were the same way. They were one man dogs period. The only dog that seriously worried me, was a professionally trained Arizona Department Of Public Safty K9.
This dog literally tore his way out of a chain link pen to get at me while I was delivering propane. I was able to talk him down from his murderous rage after several tense minutes. Sergeant Charry of the AZDPS demanded to know how I had managed to get on his porch with the dog setting beside me.
Said I had ruined six thousand dollars worth of training. I told him it was either make friends or kill the dog. Care to guess the breed of dog?
Labrador retriever. I do agree that some types of people shouldn't own some types of dogs. Or some types of horses, or cars for that matter. If you choose to own a high performance animal or automobile you have to accept the responsibility. You don't encourage the natural prey drive or put a child on a high spirited horse or stomp the accelerator pedal on seven hundred horsepower in town. The results are predictable. I personally wouldn't care to own a lab or shepherd or any of the dogs that would beat me to the truck if a mountain lion decided I looked like food. When I was young I was taught to leave strange dogs alone. I know I won't change anyone's mind on this matter and I really don't care. To label a type of animal as bad because of the stupidity of it's owners
is just as stupid as putting a child on the back of a high performance horse and expecting a pony ride.

Well , the owner has been charged as should be. and the neighbors said they thought the dogs were good dogs never acted mean ,never abused. so maby someone can tell me what happened here. they killed the woman in her own yard ,and tryed to drag the man from his house, they wasent trying to be protective so what the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) am i missing.

The dogs kill people.Google images of pit bull maulings.
