To repeat what has been said many times on this thread akready, properly cared for pit bulls are loyal, friendly and fun, and no threat to anybody.

And the others?

And how about these well trained, well cared for friendly, sociable and fun pit bulls who killed and ate their owner?

And to repeat what has been said they are a breed prone to vicious attacks and we are not all in a position to know how each and every one has been raised! They are hardly no threat to anybody ... even the owners are not safe as we see here.

"He offered background and said the dogs were a “little bit neglected towards the end of this.” Stephens left the dogs with her father, and Blackwood said; “he wasn’t taking care of them – it wasn’t his responsibility.”

The dogs, who were indoor dogs, were moved out to the kennel where they stayed "in the cold."  Blackwood said that with Stephens coming home maybe five times a week, the dogs became more isolated and only had contact with each other."

 

 

 

Daddy Daddy, why did the pit bull bite me.

Because it can.

Ah, that's ok then, sorry.

I find it perfectly acceptable that people can be somewhat obsessive about such issues as children getting mauled by dogs....  ????

So all you need to do is to disprove the statistics and all will be well in the world, until of course the next pit bull attack.

None of the dogs I had in Thailand ever bit me and over the years I must have had a dozen.

 

NONE were pit bulls.

 

None of the cats bit me either.

 

So, NO it doesn't apply to any animal.

 

You and all the other pit bull owners here can defend your dogs for as long as you like, but you cannot change reality.

 

They ARE a dangerous breed.

Same applies to me but currently I have a Pit Bull and hopefully within the next year I'll buy another one. I never buy males and I never breed from females. I have them spayed. I buy dogs as pets not financial gain.

Just curious...  Why not males ? and why get them spayed ?

1. The gf lives at our farm alone while I am away working in BKK during the week and locals know that. Let's just say some of the males in the village are less than desirable. The knowledge that there is a PitBull sleeping in the house is a great deterrent for some drunk, horny scumbag at 2am.

2. Should these males drink too much Lao Khao and decide to actually try and break in, the PitBull is an extremely loyal, strong and brave dog and would protect her with everything he has. 

So, the purpose why you own it is violence. 

Just like some posters mentioned,  they are called Tyson, Nazi, etc.

How do you call it?

Why buy a Lamborghini when a Ford Escort does basically the same job?

Pitbull is not a Lamborghini.

Pitbull is an Abrams.

And there are reasons why you cannot buy an Abrams at your neighborhood car dealership.

I've had this Pit Bull 7+ years. In that time it has never chased a motorbike, chased a running child, never barks at people, never bit anyone etc etc.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....we have heard that.

My father had a very cute and lovely Leonberger for us kids. It would bite every human being it could get hold of (and killed our cat), including us kids So every time, dad paid the victim like 50 dollars and we were instructed to tell everybody the dog would never bite anyone.

 

I have never, ever heard from a dog owner that his dog has ever bitten anyone. Makes me wonder,  where all those dog bites come from.

Oh dear. It's all becoming a bit tiring????. My (rather obvious?) point is that the problem is the owner, not the dog. 

And that's exactly wrong. 

Owners don't bite kids. 

Dogs bite kids.

Ban them.

Normally I step outside the back door and call the dog's name. It comes running to me, tail wagging. Sometimes I offer food as part of the deal, he's terribly partial to Pork Scratchings ????.

Strange that. I used to have a Boxer that drooled constantly when offered a banana.

Males are constantly marking their territory and I dislike the thought of everything having dog urine sprayed up it.

I spay females because I'm not interested in breeding for financial gain. My dogs are pets. I also find females more placid and easy to train.

PSA for the readers: These breeds are absolute trash and if ever in a situation trying to release their tremendous bite stick anything sharp in it's butt plug hard and viciously the dog will immediately release it's bite.

My question was, what's your dog's name?

 

Lots of big dog owners where I live.

They are usually command trained for basic things.

The problem seems to be that in situations where the dog becomes aggressive it is a new experience that neither dog nor owner is prepared for, and the owner can't control the dog.

The owners then blame others for getting their dog excited.

 

With respect to dogs of all breeds:

I used to work for a furnace oil delivery company.

Drivers were bitten by dogs fairly frequently.

Often owners would say something like "We have had Fido for 12 years and he has never bitten anyone."

I believe they were being absolutely truthful.

As others have said the dog never bites, until he does.

Edited September 27, 20223 yr by cdemundo

Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and little French Bulldogs appear in the lists of of dogs least likely to bite.

 

Boxers appear in both the lists of dogs most likely to bite and least likely to bite, go figure.

 

There are list published by law firms online but they are probably most concerned with bites that lead to lawsuits.

 

Chihuahuas.bite frequently but probably don't do much damage.

 

You can see videos online of cops and military training their dogs.

They create situations where the dog is excited and aggressive and train the dogs to obey under those circumstances.

I'm guessing that very few pet owners do that kind of training.

So their dog is essentially untrained when that kind of situation arises.

But a lot more, disproportionately more where Pitbulls are the culprit. 

More attacks / More deaths - identifying that other dogs have attacked does not diminish, reduce or normalise the incidence of PitBull attacks. 

 

A PitBull is  6x more likely to attack than the next most dangerous dog, the Rottweiler. 

A PitBull is 36x more likely to kill than a Rottweiler. 

 

A PitBull is  300x more likely to attack than a Golden Retriever.

A PitBull is 100x more likely to kill than a Golden Retriever.

 

 

"A PitBull is  300x more likely to attack than a Golden Retriever.

A PitBull is 100x more likely to kill than a Golden Retriever."

 

The statistics on this might even be worse, PitBulls and Goldens are both popular breeds but which one is most popular.

According to the AKC :https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/dog-breeds/most-popular-dog-breeds-of-2021/

 

Popularity of breeds in the US.

Retrievers (Labrador)  1

French Bulldogs2
