JUst killed a dog.

[OffMyLawn]

my sister has a pitt thats strong as hell......sweetest dog on earth. You could kick it in the head and it wouldn't fight back. Most pitts are great dogs.

Also had a tenant a few years back with a very sweet natured pure pitt.

Can't tell this board that. According to most here pits should be feared and euthanized

[Da Stars.]

4 stiches and 250 dollar vet bill.

Get well Macey. Just so we are clear, was that from the dog bite or you accidentally stabbing her?

Dog bite. Thanks for the well wishes for my dog.

Rattled my cage a lot last night. Neither of us slept worth a shit. Hell I don't even hunt.

Good job protecting your dog stars, only you know the situation and Im sure you did the right thing. To the people saying no one should own pitbulls, should akitas, dachshunds, dobermans, chow chows, chihuahuas also die out because they average more attacks on other pets/humans then pits do. Just because they have the power and reputation to be the mean killing machines doesnt mean they all are. Just as is the same with a child, it all depends on the environment they are raised in.

The problem is the pitbulls strength. They are stronger pound for pound than the other breeds so that is why they can be more dangerous. That and they have a stubbornness that other dogs don't possess

This hits the key point. While it may be true WailuaFC that more chihuahuas attack people than pit bulls, the consequences of those attacks are generally de minimus. Pit bull attacks because of their incredible jaw strength and 'dogged' determination are often devastating.

I can completely agree with that. They aren't nearly the most aggressive breed, but when they do attack their power is undeniable. Pitbulls are very much part of our culture here, mostly because they are awesome hunting dogs, and so having grown up around them all my life I definitely have a soft spot for those big smiley destructive heads of theirs

Oh definitely, I can't imagine what that must have been like. I hunt and dive, but having to knife an attacking dog is something I can't imagine doing.

Hope the other dog owners took notice. If it ever comes down to where it's their canine friend or Macie...Macie wins

technically, the pit owner is responsible for the vet bill


and sorry Stars

[jordanzone]

..damn Stars, sorry that happened and most definitely glad everyone is ok...and I will say, you did the right thing without a doubt...there was fair warning, and that was ignored by a irresponsible owner, fuck him...

I see both sides here, infidel seems adamant about not wanting them around and that isn't the worse thing to believe...I also see people defending the breed, and that is fine too...

..Pits have and always will have the propensity to be aggressive, and that is the truth...that is the nature of the beast, so to speak...the fine line is drawn between responsible owners, and then everyone else...if you own a Pit, you best spend lots of time with them and teach them well...Rots are the same way...those who acquire them with having a " viable house protector" in mind should not own one as they are likely dopes...and then you have the classic "I want a badass dog" idiots...I would not be opposed to a screening process for those who want that type of dog, because I guarantee most would be turned down...

As soon as stars said this dog had to be tased to be controlled and had a history of attacks you knew there was a high chance it was going to eventually maul a child. No dog should be running freely in the public either.

I like Pitts and no it's not the Pitts fault. The owner is a complete jackass and all honestly, should be jailed.

Pits are as likely to be as aggressive as a golden lab is, it's just their reputation for destruction makes it seem more commonplace. I agree that it basically comes down to the owner, if you nurture and love a pit or a rottie, they will repay you by being awesome dogs like Rosie

..for sure...that guy in all likelihood fell into the "I want a badass dog" category, and I agree completely with what you said should happen...there are also circumstances where an owner gets a "bad seed" and at some point they have to realize that owning it could put others in danger, and should do the responsible thing and give it up...this owner may have just been a dope, but I don't know...either way, he was given warning...

Not sure what else I could have done. 70 pounds of hell going after either my 18 pound dog or myself. This dog was off the fucking leash. Owner 3/4 of a block away.

If I'm not mistaken I believe both rotties and pits were bred to be butcher dogs (pulled around carts full of meat) which explains why both have very thick shoulders and are generally docked at the tail.

I wish I could post pictures of our morning routine which involves me laying on the couch and her lying completely on top of me. I keep waiting for her to grow out of the habit but at 85 pounds and counting she still wants nothing more then to lay/sit on me

..they were originally used to hunt larger game and eventually used in blood sports, both reasons being the size/strength...what you said is true also, as they did serve a viable purpose...my thing is that these breeds most definitely have a higher propensity to turn and studies have shown this...now, that's not to say they shouldn't be owned, just that whoever decides to take on this breed best take the time to work with them, and as I said before, they should be screened...because we both know there are wayyyy too many irresponsible/lazy dog owners...

CORRECT. Send him the bill. He is responsible for the injuries sustained to your dog. Again, surprised the police weren't called. Did the owner come and get the dog? Eeesh. Hope all is okay.
