JUst killed a dog.

Like I said I have an admitted bias, I love pit bulls. My stance hasnt changed throughout this entire discussion, pitbulls are not even close to being the most aggressive dog breed. If people want pitbulls banned, they need to decide whether to ban all dogs that are more aggressive then pits as well, or all dogs that are of equal size as they could do a similar amount of damage.

In your young life around Pit Bulls FC did you ever know an owner that had to taser his own dog to control it when other dogs were around?

Not tasered, but Ive known a few bad ones, definitely due to the owners treatment. A dog that has had to been tasered doesnt belong being walked in a residential area, thats just asking for trouble. Seems like the owner of the dog that attacked you was a real asshole

Hard to tell. This man was in his 60's at least. Tried to walk two dogs at once.

Still, with its past history you need to take every precaution possible

I agree.

What do you mean by 'tasered'?

[LookAway]

Thanks! I agree. These are my babies...Chancellor on the left and his mom, Ruby, on the right. A little blurry, but one of my favs.

What great looking dogs! Love the bandanas around their necks, too cute

Thanks! The bandanas probably indicate it was Christmas or something. They are great dogs, especially with kids.

I thought they were in a gang

Great thread had a bit of everything in it, and Im always looking for an excuse to post pictures of rosie haha

Wailua, I might have to post a pic of Ruby and Chancellor, my awesome boxers. They are mom and son and the absolute best dogs I've ever known. Channy looks a little intimidating but he is the biggest sweetheart.

fsu... you're the one I need to speak to. You need a 3rd boxer. I have just the one for you...


[Note: Sorry Karl. You're out.]

Can't do it, Abe. I don't even have my two with me. They have been staying with my in laws because they have a big backyard and no crazy kids running around stressing out the dogs.

3 boxers would be a hoot, though. My in laws did it, God bless them. There is no way I could handle that much dog hair.

You'll find someone.

So you gonna take the third boxer I offered or not?

Wow. You're persistent. And VERY persuasive.

Ha! That's my mom's doing. She comes over and finds bandanas to put on them. I've put a UM or FSU bandana on them only a handful of times.

But yeah...don't mess with them! : )

A 5-year (2001–05) review of dog attack victims admitted to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia determined that pit bull terriers were implicated in more than half of the bites where breed was identified. Of the 269 patients where breed was identified, 137 (51%) were attacked by pit bulls.
The authors wrote:
"...the overwhelming number of bites involving pit bull terriers in this study and others certainly has some degree of validity when it comes to identifying bite-prone breeds. Pit bull terriers, German shepherds, and Rottweilers were the offending breeds implicated in our study, and have accounted for the majority of dog bites according to other investigators."

What is a "pitbull type". I can't find that breed anywhere. Where are the cocker spaniels on these flawed list. Cocker Spaniels are known for their rage syndrome where they bite their owners. Doesn't usually end fatally so it wont make the list. There are a lot of breeds that fall into that category. When you clump a large group of dogs together "pitbull type", you get flawed data.

Pit Bull” is NOT a breed. It is a generic term often used to describe all dogs with similar traits and characteristics often known by the public as Pit Bulls. This article is addressed to owners of any “Pit Bull” type dog including American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers and Pit mixes.

..directly from that first link...

You will learn here that while Pit Bulls make great family companions while in the right hands and living situation, they require intelligent, responsible and dedicated ownership. Unfortunately too many people obtain these dogs for the wrong reasons or have little understanding on the inherent traits this breed possesses. It is unfortunate that one of the original purposes of the APBT was (and still is for many) dog-to-dog combat, but it’s a fact that can’t be denied or ignored. It’s very important that every potential Pit Bull owner, understands the selective breeding that took place to make these dogs of today and the inherited characteristics that are potentially within this wonderful breed.

..now, this directly talks to the nature of the dog, and directly towards the propensity that I alluded to...and it also talks directly about the importance of having quality ownership, i.e...."intelligent, responsible and dedicated" while also pointing out that many obtain these dogs for wrong reasons and more importantly "little understanding on the inherent traits this breed possesses"...and it also explains how these dogs came about which I also pointed out previously...

..listen, I already said in my first post I get both sides, and also suggested that those who are interested in getting one should be screened...I love all dogs and have for years, and I work very well with all dogs...I'm not against people having one at all, just that many want one for the wrong reasons, which leads to bad things happening...
