Pittbulls...not for the weak stomach..

[pixiegirl]

Lets educate with facts then.... After this I am done. Stop being so hardheaded!! If you have better or more recent data, post it.

Pitbull deaths and bites far exceed any other breed.

From Wikpedia....


The Center for Disease Control (CDC) published a study concerning the breeds that are involved with canines biting humans. Although often cited, CDC statistics are completely inaccurate and skewed, and would not be considered as a scientific statistical survey in court due to the fact that the breeds of nearly 89-90 dogs in the study were not known.

The CDC has *admitted* this flaw, and has cautioned against reliance on the study. Breeds recorded as "responsible" in the study are taken from the reports of witnesses or injured parties, and is rarely confirmed by dog experts or registration papers. Unfortunately, others studies used the CDC study as a basis for their own studies, so that only adds insult to injury.

And it's monitored for accurate information.


Because Wikipedia is an on-going work to which in principle anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in some very important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles may still contain significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism. Users need to be aware of this in order to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation which has been recently added and not yet removed. (See Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia for more details). However, unlike a paper reference source, Wikipedia is completely up-to-date, with articles on topical events being created or updated within minutes or hours, rather than months or years for printed encyclopedias.

I know. I wiki all the time. Since I read that, I try to find other resources to confirm or deny the info that I read there.

We will agree to disagree. If a pit attacks, all I have to do is outrun you.

That's right, run and let the prey drive kick in. I'll be calling for help while you're getting mauled.

SO YOU ADMIT IT!!!!

Its interesting to note that in the Purebred category

• Pit 66
• Rott 39
• GSD 17
• Husky Type 15 (which could be a mistaken GSD, there are many color variations)

but in the Mixed Breed

• Pit 101
• GSD 101
• Wolf Dog 14 (which could be a mistaken GSD)
• Husky-Type 6 (which could also be a mistaken GSD)

According the CDC Data (yes Pixie even though its flawed), the viciousness of GSD's is more due to poor (mixed) breeding. Which also throws a wrench in Krazd_Yentas theory (D@mn Breeders)

If we are going to look at stats lets look at all of them...

2005 Most Popular Dogs in U.S.

Labrador Retriever (137,867)
Golden Retriever (48,509)
Yorkshire Terrier (47,238)
German Shepherd Dog (45,014)
Beagle (42,592)
Dachshund (38,566)
Boxer (37,268)
Poodle (31,638)
Shih Tzu (28,087)
Miniature Schnauzer (24,144)

I wonder why GSD's are so far up on Nucklesack's list

Where is the Pit on the list?

Stats don't always tell the truth...

There are stats on a lot of subjects that are skewd in the direction of those who are doing the studies. These dogs are unpredictable and so are others, but the damage they can create is tenfold to others. If people choose to own Pitbulls then they must be responsible and understand the danger they can present. These two dogs that attacked my horse were let outside, went into the field and unprovoked mauled my sweet little horse while she lay there sleeping. No defense for them or the owner/s.

How'd you end up with turkey duty?????

Anyhow, to speed defrosting you can immerse the turkey in water.

You're biased. I've been attacked by a German Pincher so I don't care for them. Doesn't make my bias right. The dogs that attacked your horse were the product of irresponsible owners. How do you know your horse was sleeping? Proof the dogs in question were pits?


The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS) breed statistics as of December 2005 show an 83.5% passing rate for the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier and an 84.7% passing rate for the Staffordshire bull terrier, as compared to an 81.2% average pass rate for all dog breeds.

 

[Mikeinsmd]

I've NEVER denied it. You have that problem Vrai has don't you? Putting words in peoples mouths when you don't have a valid leg to stand on. I've always maintained that these are dangerous dogs and Mikinsmd is right. He's a good lookin guy too. Seems like a real sweetie. Wish I would have snatched him up before that other chick.

I don't have any problem.
