QUOTE=Thrasher865;6471504]I do think dogs are genetically predisposed to "snap" and bite someone's face off and eat their eyeballs and then play chew toy with their entrails. Rocky is part Rott, and he is a strong mutherfugger that I would not **** with.

He's super sweet and gentle, but when he gets out of the fence, he will bark at you like he's about to eat you. At least that's how the neighbor phrased it when he got out once. I do not know why he didn't eat the man, though. He was not restrained, and he was very hungry, because it was about 3 pm, and he hadn't eaten since breakfast.

I had a part rott, part siberian husky 15 years ago. She was a sweetheart.[/QUOTE]

I bet that was a pretty cool looking dog

In my old apartment complex in West Knoxville, when Arlo was just little, a pit lived downstairs, even thought it's owner knew it wasn't allowed. He'd only take it out really early in the morning and after 6:30-7:00 at night, so it was always a little testy when it got outside, finally. One day it's owner left the door open to the apartment and it came running out. I had my back to it, but I heard it bounding towards us. I tried to make all "nice, doggie" because you're not supposed to hate pits because they're such sweet, loving animals. That wild animal snapped and decided it was going to eat Arlo. I had to literally punch it in the face, while holding Arlo after I scooped him up, to keep it from killing him and probably me. The apartment manager sat and watched the whole thing and kicked the guy out after that. They are vicious killers that will snap without any notice.

If it was as vicious as you are implying trust me when I tell you, That a punch in the face is like pissing in the wind. Just doesn't work out well. Pit-bulls have some of the hardest heads and jaws of any animal.

No difference in a dog being a well a DOG. If the child is doing something they're not suppose to, then try blaming the parents. I control mine very well, they stay in the fence but I have had kids that like to poke sticks thru the fence and throw things so they do show aggresion towards them. So if parents can't control their children why should I worry if they get bit or not

Because they are pitts. If you throw things through the fence at my rotty/lab, he will try to fetch them. If you poke him with a stick through the fence, he will try to play tug of war.

You are a bad owner.

Sounds like if you don't train your dogs or sedate them, it's only a matter of time until they must be put down.

So does the same apply to parents with snot noised kids.
Bad owner, not hardly. I spend more money on making sure my animals are cared for than most people spend on their own kids. Do not speak on things of which you do not know. If parents can't control their kids, maybe they shouldn't be allowed to breed.

all dogs can be bad if not trained/exercised/treated correctly. There's even a Brittany at the kennel we take ours to that will try and bite other dogs. Trained right they are the most gentle dogs around but this one is definitely not

I have quite a few friends with rescue pits and they are no problem. Even had my son near them a couple weeks ago and they were just fine. Are there bad dogs? Sure, but take a look at the owners first

Not if they're in their own fenced in yard. Never heard of a pit-bull opening fences just to attack a crumb snatcher. Mine will walk beside me w/o a leash and never make a move with out me. I stop they stop.

Most recent I could find.

http://dogbitelaw.com/images/pdf/Dog_Attacks_1982-2006_Clifton.pdf


Golden retriever: One dog responsible for an attack was rabid. Another
accidentally strangled Kaitlyn Hassard, 6, of Manorville, Long Island,
on 1/24/06, by tugging at her scarf.



Labrador: Adult victim was attacked in her home by as many as 23 dogs owned
by daughter. The Lab who severely mauled Jasmine Charboneau, 2, on
7/29/04 in Devils Lake, ND, proved to be rabid.

I've seen them jump the fence. Attack a girl playing on the sidewalk.

I hear all this talk about how pits are so sweet and it's the owner's fault, but dogs are bred for specific traits; pits are/were bred to be vicious. My little dog's breed is now being bred to challenge in the dog obstacle course thing they do. Look it up on youtube; Papillons have been kicking tail recently and not just being cute little toy dogs. Now Arlo doesn't do all that; but when he sees a chipmunk, that little animal can fly like the wind. We used to play fetch with tiny tennis balls at my old apartment complex. We'd normally just go on the tennis court, because it was fenced in and safe. The court was right beside the road and people would literally stop and laugh when he was chasing down a ball, because he was so incredibly quick and ferocious about it. Does this mean my dog is some kind of hidden champion? No, but he has that inate instinct to fly. Papillon means butterfly in French, btw. You don't get a Papillon as a guard dog, but they were bred to have really large ears like a butterfly's wings, so they are an amazing watch dog. He can hear things on the moon, I'm pretty sure. All those years of breeding and he has these amazing, unique characteristics. And he almost got eaten by a pit, and if I wouldn't have punched it in the face, he would probably have been pit poop. His owner was a great guy, never was mean to him and loved him very much. He even stated that the dog just snapped for no reason. I think that is the same in a pit as time trials are now in Paps.

Again, I hate hearing things like this its bad news on a good breed. But it has to go back the fact the owners must be looked at and held responsible. I am not blind to the fact that all pits are not like mine, but I still do believe that for the most part they are extremely mis-understood and quite gentle animals.

It's never just as simple as "this breed vs that breed" (of course not all pits are vicious and no lab has ever bitten anyone) but there comes a point where "it's just the owners" comes off looking a bit trite.

I've been around real pit bulls for a long time. I've been bit one time. The one time was when my own dog missed grabbing a towel I used to play tug of war with and grabbed me. She immediately let me go and started licking the spot she bit. Golden Retrievers and Labs lead almost every year when it comes to dog bites. I've had run ins with both breeds and have found Labs to be very aggressive at times. Dalmations are another people aggressive breed. Pit bulls are publicized because they do more damage when they bite.

The little girl was playing in her backyard. The pit climbed over a 4-foot-high chain link fence.

just because a dog is labeled a "bird dog" doesn't mean you can just throw it out in the field and watch it work. Even with specific traits they need to be trained to get that way. To just assume an entire breed is a threat is ridiculous
