I don't think it's Ridgebacks, bud. They're pretty even tempered.

No one can out google Kieth.

…. Evidently AI hasn’t had friends or family mauled by that ghetto breed yet lol

When it see them out and about im always in a defensive posture hand on gun. If they are on my place they dont leave.

Old Buckne, who I miss, would have given me a run for my money.

It's better to have a position you can give evidence of, than to just to make up what you say, go by what you may of heard as fact, or go by what you feel.

LOL

I don't love pitbulls though. I have little experience with them and only know one person who has one. I just don't think any dog breed should be banned. I think once breed is banned, other breeds will quickly follow.

I absolutely do feel owners should be legally and criminally responsible for their dogs and other dangerous animals.

Ticking time bombs. Not worth the risk for a pet. I can see them being a good tool for a hog hunter if kenneled properly and managed well, but never for a pet! There are so many better dogs to choose from for pets.

I will wholeheartedly agree there are definitely better breeds of dogs to keep as pets than pitbulls.

It varies state by state as some states ban breed discrimination by law. Some of these laws are more recent developments. But in one example, Farmers was widely reported to drop coverage for pit bulls in California back in 2013:

…. Kieth in his younger days lol

I know what the woman told me when i signed the papers. I should have never responded. Lesson learned.

Seems friendly enough. lol.

Son had a female Rhodesian Ridgeback . Smart dog that loved humans. Killed any other animal it could get its jaws on. Including a lot of dogs.

I was an independent insurance agent for over 50 years. I represented 16 different companies. None of them would insure anyone owning a pitbull.

I had a friend who was a State Farm agent. They insured pitbulls with a surcharge. But, he said he didn't think they would be continuing that much longer, as they had had some seriously bad dog bite claims with pitbulls.

Years ago, we had this discussion regarding pitbulls. I remember there was a person from one of the southern states who owned several pitbulls for many years. He said as some on here have also said, that pitbulls are one of the best hog dogs there are. That's what he had them for. But, he said they are never to be trusted, especially around children.

I can give examples of many cases where a pitbull mauled or killed someone. Here's one that happened in Minneapolis couple years ago: A man who owned a pitbull had a 3 year old son. The dog had always been playful with the kid. The man stepped outside to have a smoke. He heard a ruckus in the house. He rushed in to find the dog had his 3 year old son by the throat. The poor kid was dead before the ambulance got there. The man maintained pitbulls always get a bad rap cause his experience with his was that of a gentle dog.

I got a nice insurance check because of a pit bull once. Insurance company told me they didnt know they had a pit or they wouldn't have covered them. I made sure the problem wouldn't happen again and the sheriff deputy told me thank you. He said they are nothing but a problem for him.
Keith i cant own a pet skunk without jumping through a bunch of paper work to get a special license, dont tell me outlawing pits is a slippery slope to losing our 2nd amendment. It wouldn't be any different than me not being able to own a tiger.
