I have worked in shelters and done a ton of rescue and I support flakes on the comment about labs. There are far more lab bites and labs put to sleep because of biting.
I trust my neighbors Pit to play with my dogs. All of my dogs including Preslee. But that is my choice, just as it is Frans choice to let hers play with a pit and just as it is Kristys choice. Go with your gut and do what is right. Why debate the damn issue?? WHat is the point?? No matter what no one is going to have the same point of view.
I myself will not let my dogs play with strange dogs. My dogs dont go to the dog park to socialize with dogs that we dont know. This is my personal opinion.
And YES Kristy is right. A dog that isn't allowed to socialize with other dogs will turn into a grump and be territorial in its older years. I have seen and experienced this many times. I am not saying that it will happen to all older dogs but I have seen it happen to many.
There are no proven statistics claiming that the jaws on a pit bull lock. So unless you are an owner and have done thorough research please dont spread false info. I myself have researched many breeds including the pit and have found no information to prove this as true. |
