That's what the parents say about their kid after he shot up his school.

Neither will any of my dogs. Tweaker down the street may have raised his dogs differently

Ive encountered several dangerous dogs in my life. None of them were pit bulls.
Aussies are the worst with heelers not far behind. Mcnabs. Any cattle dog really. Not good pets, can't be trusted, and will bite no matter how good you think that dog is

Bite is different than maul/kill.

2bit do u believe dogs have instinct bred into them? You say it's all training but as a guy who's trained dogs for several different disciplines instinct tops training.

So u can't train a cow dog to behave but you can a pit? I dont think your valididating ur point very well.

Never have I seen a more moronic comparison. A gun has never ran out of a yard to shoot someone. lol

There is a reason insurance companies will not offer you a homeowners policy if you own a pit bull. They are considered the number one most dangerous dog in the US. There have been many stories of dogs killing people. Not all of them involve just pit bulls, but the highest percentage of them are caused by pit bulls.

A man I know personally was in Texas visiting his brother. The day before he was to catch his flight home to MN, he went out to his brother's mailbox to pick up the mail. He was attacked by 3 pit bulls. They had him down on the ground and were tearing him apart. They would have killed him if it hadn't been for a man in a pickup who saw what was going on and jumped out and began beating the dogs. He rushed the man to the hospital. He lost much of his thigh muscle on one leg and most of his forearm muscle as he tried to keep the dogs from his throat which he said they really seemed to be going after. Over 200 stiches and two weeks in the hospital before he was able to go home. He has little use of his right arm and will forever walk with a limp. He has a huge scar on the right side of his face.

The man who owned the dogs lived about a half mile down the road from his brothers. They got out of the owner's yard. All the dogs were euthanized as this wasn't the first time they had attacked a person. Of course, he couldn't sue the owner of the dogs because he didn't have any insurance.

I think if you own a pit bull and they cause something like this to another human being, you should be held criminally liable and do some prison time.

The pit issue is like the Jews and the Arabs. No compromise will ever work out.

I got my eye on two pits that some tweaker has down the road. It's just a matter of time before they make it my way and when they do......

I did return a German Shepard to its owner the other day, so roaming onto my place is not a absolute death sentence. But they are taking a significant risk.

I spent over 50 years as an insurance agent. I once had a lady call me looking for home insurance. She raised pit bulls and her insurance company found out and was non-renewing her insurance because of it. I represented 16 different companies none of which would insure anyone who had what they considered dangerous dogs. Pit bulls were number one on their list. In all fairness, there were some others as well.

Pitbulls....lol.

The fact that there is even this type of debate over the behavior of an animal is proof of the problem. There is no other breed that both attacks, and seriously injures/kills at a higher rate. It's that simple.

I will give them credit for one thing though...The one that lived down the road from me helped me to pull off the greatest shot of my lift with a pistol (and in the dark to boot!) as it tried to break in and attack my dogs in their pen.

My parents had a rescue Pit Bull 20 years ago. Kindest dog I'd ever been around. Had Sheps, Labs and Border Collies before and since.

My parents went out of town one weekend and asked me to slip by and feed him in the pen. I put the dog food in the bowl and it was tetering on the edge of the pallet while he started eating. I reached down to move the bowl to the ground and narrowly missed getting my hand mauled. It was a dumb mistake on my part, but I'd never had a dog go from 0 - 100 in a split second like that. Once I got my hand out of the way and he finished eating, he was back to grinning and slobbering.

Seen enough in that split second to never want one around me again. Multiple personalities at best.

All those killer aussies running around here can never be trusted, but your pits could because of your proper training? Haha I think I’ll take my chances:
#20 australian shepherd attacks doing bodily harm on humans (1982-2018) =14 and 0 deaths
#1 Pit Bull = 5,994 and 421 deaths

I was being facetious. Of course there is instinct in each breed of dog. Pit bulls are more capable of killing than a heeler, I'm not arguing that. I'm saying all you guys that paint with a broad brush are bias.

You don't like pits, that's fine. But when you say my dog is dangerous and can snap at any moment and harm my kids, I take that personally. My dogs are so tame, I doubt they would bite an intruder . I know my dogs better than anyone, raised them since they were the size of a shoe.

I agree

Instead of making insults, maybe make an argument?

That is very similar to what every single pit owner has said after their dog(s) had severely mauled or killed someone, usually a kid, sometimes their own kids. [/quote]

But… Tim walz would have a new friend.

So now we're just throwing feces at each other? Some of you can't have an adult conversation.

Not everyone that has a pit has raised them since they were the size of a shoe.
EVERYONE says that my dog (loved one) will do no harm, until they do (and sometimes after).

This pit that i am referring to would jump up and bite them dogs in the head throat area,and hang on.
I did see a dog warden drive by today,hopefully it was reported. Then maybe next time something will come of it.
I have two neighbors, that had chickens killed by dogs(they saw it@dark). This pitbull has got loose before.
Like i said before if you want a dog that likes to fight, Keep it @ your place!!
