It's not really, because while this is true, there are plenty of dogs who were treated poorly or even used as bait dogs or to fight that went on to live normal lives as normal dogs.

Look up the fate of Vick's dogs.

I had two, brother and sister. I loved them both, very protective and beautiful. One was black the other "blue". They were good dogs, as long as the only living things in thier view, scent or hearing distance was me and or my wife. About all I can say, except they were my first and last Chows I'll ever own.

That's the thing, they tend to be good to their family but hell on four paws to everyone else. Pretty dogs, but man do they have attitude.

Pit bulls make up the #1 breed in the world for dog bites per year by a landslide and its not even close. Very dangerous breed. I would never let my family around one.

Would you suggest a Timberwolf hybrid?

well pits were bread to be killers.most aren't,but when one goes off,it locks down and doesn't let go,that is why there so lethal

I've been around several that were scary as hell,there owners would stand in there fenced yard. while they were going off,trying to jump the fence and attack and just smile and say good dog,so it is a lot of the owners fault,for raising them that way

As many have said, it's the owner and the dog's environment, not the dog. As someone who trains in Schutzhund and has spent all my life around dogs, there is no such thing as a purely dangerous dog, the dog only becomes dangerous when they are raised with bad owners.

A lot of people just have no clue about how to train their dogs. Just watch the bountiful amounts of idiots on the Cesar Milan show.

The key to raising a well adjusted and loveable dog is consistency. The harder the breed, especially with Terrier's and working breeds, the worse the outcomes can be.

I wouldnt own one. Especially with kids around. You never know what will set a dog off and I dont know how anyone who has had a dog kill a kid lives with themselves.

I agree with this some. But how many golden retrievers have you heard about mauling someone?

By your logic, pit bull owners are terrible at raising their dogs and golden retriever owners are outstanding at raising theirs.

I hate to say it, but look who gets pits as compared to who gets retrievers.

How many retrievers you see in the ghetto?

In a way, just look at and evaluate all pitbull owner's versus lab owner's. Really, what are the differences you would see. Not to stereotype, but, that is all you have to do in order to understand the answer to your quandry.

But, I understand, as you just have to look at why and how the dog was created and made to exist. Terrier's were bred for hunting, working, and protection. Thus, the owner needs to be more atuned to their breed chosen.

I would imagine it's the same as losing a child to anything a parent views as preventable. Very likely hard to live with themselves no matter what.

If I may take this a bit further I think the stats bear out a much greater "high risk" scenario. When dogs X, Y and Z break bad you are probably just talking about bites. When pits break bad you are much, much more likely to be dealing with a serious injury, maiming or even death.

Thats brave of you to say. It's also a few other things.:blink:

With that said, whatever wrath is forced upon you, if any, I'll gladly share it with you. :)

My friend is about to add a gorgeous blue pibble to her household. She's a neuroscience PHD candidate at Vandy. Clearly the scum of the earth.

Plenty of nice people own Pits. Sure, you can buy one at the flea market that is mean as hell, or you can buy one that is responsibly bred and probably just a big goofball.

The problem is not knowing for sure. The one bad Pit I know has zero dog communication skills. There is no posturing, escalation of threats, etc. He just decides to kill something and attacks with zero warning in a silent orgy of death.

I would put him down. I have put down a gorgeous and very well-bred Basenji for the same reason. Attacks with no warning.
