I agree. That's the only hesitation. And, I unfortunately as the hunter/trapper guy (I definitely don't flaunt it but people figure it out) I am suspect numero uno.

Some get very beefy. It's a 3 fold issue why heavy chain is used and keeps snapping..... the dog is chained all day to limit its interaction. Some use it as a dumbbell weight for their pit. 3 they use short cheap chain with no swivels which the dog keeps putting heavy sudden pressure on it (all day).

I've known pits on all sides of the behavior and breed spectrum from teddy bear - the devils dog.

I had a mastiff that snapped numerous leashes. I finally got some climbing rope and used that. He never snapped the climbing rope. He was a giant teddy bear, a solid hunter, and protective. 95 lbs of pure muscle.

What you are talking about is a felony in the state of Oklahoma. You might want to research it a little bit before spouting it off on the internet "counselor".


You're kidding right? I had no idea OK was so bunny-hugging liberal.
Here an unrestrained dog off it's owner's property has the same legal rights as an invasive or feral animal. Meaning, none. In fact, Fish&Game used to run ads in the newspaper every spring during moose calving season basically encouraging folks to shoot any dogs seen harassing moose.

Now, shooting someone's dog without a good reason just makes you an a-hole. But the law is clear that the responsibility lies with the pet owners.

They try and tell me that crap here in Georgia until I tell them to read the last sentence on the statute they are trying to cite. Shall not apply to a pest or animal to be removed from a home or property.

Debates on pit disposition , aside ...

I have a couple guys I know near me , one I call a friend ,keep a ( heavy on the singular tense ) pit as catch dogs on pigs . Exceptional dogs in that role . I believe as others have said , the chain has nothing to do with containment for the dog. Its a work-out tool .

Neighbors aggressive pit got out and started running around. Called the police and told them I was going to shoot it if it came in my yard. They told me to make sure I have good shot placement. Can do!

Living in the country we often have idiots drop off dogs and either assume we'll them in, or find someone to take care of them. I've taken 4 or 5 to the shelter, 20 miles away, but if they are the least bit aggressive I've been forced to take care of them in a different way. I hate to do it and hate to have stupid people put me in that position. I've had a couple that appeared to be pit bulls or at least mixes that never made it to the shelter. Very aggressive and in my mind dangerous. I'd actually like to catch a coward dropping an animal off. That might be fun.
