And the big thing is Aussies are not being vicious when they do that. They are the most protective and loving dogs I have ever had.

Oh agreed 100%. She is usually just excited and playful when she does it… or thinking that she is protecting someone! Best dog I’ve ever owned

Once again, your personal experience is irrelevant. National statistics is all that matters. And no one cares which breed is most aggressive, the only thing that matters is which does the most damage. You can blame owners all you want in some convoluted correlation gymnastics where somehow pit owners as a group are crappie humans than all other owners, but at the end of the day the breed that does the most damage is pit bulls, every year, for decades.

They are also the most abused breed according to ASPCA. Could there be some correlation?

My cattle dog is sweet as could be, but does snatch the occasional ankle from time to time. Herding instincts run deep in her!

Also my 2nd favorite dog I ever had was our half pure Aussie-half pure Huskie when I was a kid in Texas. His name was Pancho and he was a really beautiful dog, and he was awesome to play with....but if anybody he didn't know got within 10 feet of my then toddler sister at the park..he went full silent assassin mode.

Since y’all wouldn’t talk to me I went to check on my aunt after she had back surgery. I got mauled by her Pitt on the way in and on the way to the car. Slobbered all over me. Seriously, my sister is terrified of them because 3 got into her pasture and attacked and killed her donkey.

If it been just one pit...the donkey probably would have bashed it's brain's out, those things are meaner than heck, and hold their own with canines...it's too bad there weren't more donkeys or it would have been epic.

One had its neck, another had its stomach, and the other had it from behind. She didn’t have a gun and couldn’t get them off. They held on until it died.

It’s summer reading, and I have over 90 kids. I have worked enough!

The mojo is off. Would it help if I called your boss and asked him to double your work load? Sorry, everyone has to pull their own weight around here and I’ve had to put up with a lot of my ‘advanced’ age comments. Come on, it’s the lest you could do.

This^^ I've been formulating my general opinions today and largely come to this. And I don't really care about golf.

Just seems like a "take the plank out of your own eye" first type of deal. We guzzle Chinese goods. Our beloved University has a multimillion dollar contract with Nike and our jerseys are made in Indonesian sweatshops with suicide nets. We guzzle Russian and Saudi oil. Our wife's diamonds (unless lab grown) have blood stains. The materials that make up our phones and computers came from massively destructive strip mines. Our military and space technology post-WW2 came largely from Nazi scientists. Much of the coffee we drink comes from cartel dominated countries with corrupt governments and human rights violations.

And a bet Saudis are mad they're paying and buying Americans that have damaged much of the Middle East and support Israel in their views.

So I guess it just doesn't move the needle for me unless I hop on a horse and look down. That's a lot of money, do it for a few years then get out if you want. I don't care your reasons for or against. Not my life or decision. Bring that cash back to the US... because we all know it's largely American money anyway.

So let's focus on some positives here: this opens up opportunities for young athletes and those on the fridge of making professional appearances to get opportunities in the US. It also may be one more opportunity for dialogue and connection to western culture and values. Interaction between two opposing peoples, finding common ground and understanding is the best way to build bridges and mend relationships.

My takeaway from this:

Young athletes and those on the fridge. 😂

I agree, but was looking for humor and by golly I found it! Knew I could count on @SoilVol 🤠

Just wanted to share about the kid we got in a skybox with his dad a few years ago has been put in hospice. Please keep them in your prayers.

🙏😞. I’ve lived my life and have been blessed to experience things most people dream about. I hate that for that youngster and his family. There’s not much I can say, but thank you and all involved to make that happen. I also hate that my prayer list grows every day, not because of the moment it takes me to bend my knee and bow my head, but because of all the suffering now.

They are probably one of the most abused dogs and the most used in dog fights. Pit bulls are also way over bred and probably account for half of the dogs in Fulton county shelter right now. I work with them all the time and we have NEVER had to re-home a pitty for aggressiveness. We have had many other dogs come back of many different breeds.

We’re a dog family and tried to rescue a Greyhound after its days at the track were over. He ended up biting me and my 2 yo son in the face at different times. He had to go back after that because I was going to shoot him. There will always be bad ones in every breed.

Hard for me to believe the Great White Pyerenese(sp) isn't on this list. The ones I've seen and been around are viscious dogs. Have a good friend who walked around her neighborhood most evenings and was attacked by one for no reason. Knocked her to the ground and proceeded to go for her neck as she fought like hell to get him off. Luckily, a motorist passing stopped and was able to pull the dog off her. I could post some grotesque pics of what it did to her but won't. She spent hours in the er, recieved over 125 stitches followed by plastic surgery.

Yep, my folks had one a few years ago. Sweet gentle giant then one day bit my brother in the head while he was sleeping. Became real aggressive to everyone. Found out later he had a neurological disorder and had to be put down. If they turn on you it’s scary because they just weigh so much.
