You have absolutely NO clue what your talking about. I have rehabilitated abused pitbulls for years at my local animal shelter and I can tell you without a doubt that pitbulls are some of the most human friendly dogs in the world because THEY WERE BRED TO BE. Pit bulls aren’t all bad. They’re not ferocious beasts to be feared and reviled. Pit bulls aren’t all good either. They have teeth and the potential to use them, just like any other dog. Their powerful bodies and persistent nature make them formidable animals. As such, they should be treated with care and respect. They require a great deal of exercise, proper training and responsible management. But if you’re willing to devote the time and effort necessary, befriending a pit bull can be immensely rewarding. Along with their strength and spirit comes an inspiring zest for life and an ardent affinity for people. As any committed pit bull parent will tell you, beneath the brawn, most are faithful, fun-loving, affectionate companions. So before you make up your mind about them, get to know a few pit bulls. You may be surprised.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472599137557659512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-65412849608376316972013-06-20T06:49:37.471-04:002013-06-20T06:49:37.471-04:00Pitbulls were considered the "the nanny dog&q...Pitbulls were considered the "the nanny dog" not too long ago and do you research because they are definitely known to be good with children, extremely good.

The only attacking I could ever see them capable of if kissing you to death. All they ever want to do is snuggle in your lap. On top of that they are incredibly good with my kid. I'm not saying this is the case with every pit but its also not the case with any other dog breed either. I've been attacked by a poodle and a shitsu. The smaller breeds I've noticed are way more aggressive and I would never leave my child around one. Honestly I think this whole pit bull thing is just ridiculous. A dog is going to act exactly as it's raised and trained to act, and that's any dog breed out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104204846267608307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-1601039220151221622013-02-20T18:23:21.106-05:002013-02-20T18:23:21.106-05:00So true when I was a kid I had two pit bulls and b...So true when I was a kid I had two pit bulls and both were good dogs the whole way through, never bit anyone and pit bulls are beautiful dogs I love and respect them<br />dog lovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-78691204467591587452013-01-23T22:29:18.819-05:002013-01-23T22:29:18.819-05:00holy cow someone smart in a sea of ignorance

I currently have ...This has been very hard to read. I currently have a pitbull and a boxer-lab mix. Both are extremely sweet dogs. We have had our boxer-mix since she was 6wks old,but found our pit in a parking lot when he was a few months old with every kind of worm imaginable, mange, and a host of other problems. We nursed him back to health and he has become a wonderful addition to our family. We don't have any children yet but I used to take him to the nursery I worked at all the time and the children LOVED him. We don't know what his background was but we trained him and loved him and he is a large baby himself. Furthermore not only does he get along with our other fur baby but he also gets alone with my parents 5 dogs (all varying breeds) and my sisters cockapoo and E. bull dog puppy. He is energetic but loving. I do however not let strange dogs come at him or children sprint up to him because 1- he is protective of me while on leash and 2- likes to give hugs and typically knocks children over . He loves to be hugged and can be poked and pulled and never "snaps" . I also volunteer at my local humane society and find that our pits are among the sweetest of dogs and they go through major health screenings. Dachshunds and chihuahuas are actually more likely to attack. I am so sad that pits have such a bad rep when it is our fault that they were bred to be such massive fighting machines that they could take down bulls 10x their size and it is a pity we haven't grown as a society and still abuse their power today. <br />I think it is wise to be cautious around any strange animal you see... But let's not lump all pit bulls together... They could suprise you.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692138317459277052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-31315189772792543162012-03-19T07:53:37.147-04:002012-03-19T07:53:37.147-04:00Every experience I've had with one has been a ...Every experience I've had with one has been a bad one...Being chased by three of them while I had my baby in my arms and just barely making it inside,seeing one who was raised with an older dog kill it for no reason,and having one running loose at a hotel come after me.<br />I would NEVER,EVER own one of these dogs.I do not trust them at all.People quoting punish the deed not the breed will eventually learn the hard way.Keep your dogs away from me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-69894940433937134182011-07-17T23:33:31.602-04:002011-07-17T23:33:31.602-04:00Side 1: The surveys based on press reports record ...Side 1: The surveys based on press reports record more pit bull attacks than other breeds. <br />Side 2: More scientifically based studies show pit bulls are well tempered.<br />Side 1: Pit bulls were bred to fight, so that's what they do.<br />Side 2: Pit bulls were bred to be athletes, and always needed to be trained to fight. Only 5% 'fight hard' when trained.<br /><br />There are biases both ways and lies on both sides. I've owned pit bulls, dogs that I've both raised from puppy-hood and rescued. All were wonderful pets that were great with people, children, dogs, and cats. I didn't want them to be tough, they were raised as companion dogs, and as a consequence none have ever shown aggression. <br /><br />I believe it's how their raised and trained.

One thing I look at is this there are over 300,ooo home invasions each year in the US alone most of which happening in upper middle class suburban areas. What would you guess is one of the biggest deterants of a home invasion thats right having a large dog in the home, the dog does not even have to be a trained guard dog it is simply the presence. I've always believed in having a loaded fire arm in the home for protection but knowing there are over 1200 fatalities every year involving children under the age of 8 each year with loaded fire arms in the home I opted for large dog when the kids came. Also with over 75 million dogs in the US there are only an average of 30 fatal attacks per year compared to human pop of 300 million and we have an average of 16,000 murders in the US a year so we are a mere 4 times the dog population but murder 500 times more people than they do per year. Furtermore for the people that believe certain breeds should be banned or restricted, out of all the murders in the US it is estimated that 35.2% were done by blacks while 33.5 whites 1.7 was other and 29.6 unknown maybe would should next start to put a ban on blacks and whites lol. Ohh we did not even think about cigarettes, drugs,alcohol gangs ect that kill and injure children every year. <br /> Last year in 2009 there were a total of 32 fatal incidents involving dogs this link has a complere list with breed info and the report from the attack, http://btoellner.typepad.com/kcdogblog/2010/01/2009-dog-bite-fatalities-final-report.html it could be very enlightening yes there are pitbulls on the list as well as other breeds but in almost all cases of pit bull attacks come from low income areas below the poverty line and all pit bulls attacks got high media playback for instance One boy Dustin Faulner was attacked and killed by a neighbors husky that broke off his chain to get the boy this incident was only run in one newspaper where as almost every story of pitbull involved fatality went nationwide with actual news footage...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-2496372460559359042010-06-28T13:35:18.747-04:002010-06-28T13:35:18.747-04:00I don't care how sweet people say they can be....I don't care how sweet people say they can be...I would never let my kids near one.

I have a 5 yr old son, and adopted our dog, Bella, when she was 6 weeks old (when my son was 3). She has been the most well behaved dog anyone could ever ask for. My son's rough with her - riding her like a horse, pulling on her tail, getting in her face and treating her like a big stuffed animal, and she has NEVER even hinted at being aggressive... She, however is very protective of my son when he's around other dogs. I think the big thing here is how the dog is raised. ANY dog can be a Kujo if they're taught and loved well. The nicest of poodles can rip you a new one if given the opportunity. I hate that pit bulls are stuck with this stigma... mine is the best dog I've ever owned, or even been around, and I will most definitely purchase another one when she's gone. In my opinion, and seeing how she is with my son... Pits can be right up there with Labs for being the best with kids.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865330327959638526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-39593635426935237382010-06-27T13:36:04.097-04:002010-06-27T13:36:04.097-04:00Why would any parent want to chance it?

But there is <i>TOO MUCH</i> at stake when you consider the risk of your child getting killed or severely maimed. Don't get me wrong, I like pit bulls, and dogs in general for that matter. But if I owned a dog breed that was known for harming children (including labs, pit bulls, rottweilers, etc.), and I got pregnant, I'd be making arrangements to find my potentially dangerous dog a new home. It's just not worth it.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741247143308918302noreply@blogger.com
