Pit bulls and your opinion

[Cowgirl]

I wasn't talking about imported ones..just German Sheps opposed to Aussies. I'm just being silly.

At first I thought she was asking what the difference between Germans and Aussies were.

Wow!! I just did a youtube search myself. Seems there's many more attack videos than "wonderful" videos.

I have had many breeds . The bad experiences with all ; came from people feeding raw meat or abuse .

I miss my pit ( she died of old age). She came from fighters but not a bad bone in her body . We got her when she was older and I cringed at first with her and our goats but she never bothered them.

My friend is a dog trainer, and he feeds his pit and Am. Bulldog raw meat. They're both very sweet, well-behaved dogs.

Raw meat?! .. and how does that affect behavior??

it doesn't, they just want to justify the behavior.

its great when you are dealing with a bunch of emotional folks with little to no practicle experience. Just like teenagers they know EVERYTHING

I think they are beautiful animals. They are smart, loyal dogs. I would own one, if I didn't have any other animals or kids in the house, and I'd never trust it around anyone else.

I'd treat the Pit the same way I'd treat a German Shephard or Rottie. I love the dogs, but I'd treat them as such, and trust only the fact that it'd only take one time for them to be agitated to the point of snapping, to severely harm someone else.

These are dogs. There is not a single dog on the face of the earth that has gone through it's entire life without having made someone, at some point say "Why the hell did he/she do THAT?" Could be anything from tearing up your shoe, crapping on the floor in front of a room full of guests, to maming another human or animal. They are dogs.

Of course, people are always so quick to post the bad instead of the good.


What my point is, the general public seems to form an opinion based upon only what they hear. When I would take my dog out in public there were several people that would comment about how beautiful and good my dog was and when they asked what breed she was and I told them she was a pitbull most would then shy away. So based upon what they were seeing face to face with her and finding out her breed people got afraid because of what they have heard and only because of what they heard, people wouldnt even give a pitbull a chance. So maybe if people saw that these dogs have the ability to also be cosidered good dogs, it might help sway an opinoin the other way, I seriously doubt it, but it could.

Are you suggesting that 20 years of study by the CDC is inaccurate or misleading?

Most Pits are good dogs, until that one time when they are not. Other dogs have bad incidents when they crap on the floor. Pits have bad incidents by eating someone elses pet, child or even their owner.

Every Pit (pet) owner thinks that their dog could never hurt anything/anyone, until it does. It is THAT owner mentality that makes other people nervous. If Pit owners would keep it in their heads that their pits are every bit as likely to harm someone or something else, and treat it with that respect, then others would be comforted by the fact that you are a responsible owner and that there would be a smaller chance of that dog getting out of YOUR control and hurting someone else.

But for some reason, Pit owners like to give their Pits the same respect and freedom as old Ms Robinson gives her wiener dog, only because the Pit has been good, so far.

:Any animal can be dangerous.

I would never leave a small child alone with any animal, because you never know what will happen. I think chiuhuaha's are nasty aggressive little bite machines. :shrug:

Let's just ban every frickin' thing.

I'm gonna ban myself from reading anymore NHboy, Jpc, Green Hornet, Bluebird, Pinggerr, and ----renter threads.
