The only pitbulls I have come accross were mean so I dont care who says they are a loving pet I dont trust them. Why is it there are always stories of attacks with this breed? |
No dog is a bad dog.... no matter the breed. : : : : : V Its the owner and the way they train the dog. :animal36:aimeeyork:animal36:aimeeyork |
i'd have to say that i've never encounterd an agressive pit bull, and growing up in the deep south, I've been around them all my life. I've owned a rotty and she was the sweetest thing. I agree that some breeds do have a tendency to be agressive it seems. But I think the agressiveness is the responsibility of the *owner* not the dog. I've seen agressivness in alot of breeds. I'll rarely approch a chi, chows can tend to nip and bite, I have friends of a cocker spaniel who can't take her anywhere. I think the real danger of these dogs is their size, and when owning a dog with such brute strength, as opposed to a toy sized animal, an owner should take extra precaution. |
That is very sad:( |
I agree with LibbieLu08...don't blame the dog...it is up to the owner to know and train their dog. |

Topics like this become so heated. Everyone has their own opinions and that's fine. I worked as a bather in a grooming salon. The dogs three dogs who bit me were a Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, and a Yorkie. The dogs who were the biggest babies, boxers and pitbulls. Yes, little dogs can get away with a lot more because their small mouths don't do much damage. Thus, they don't hurt someone so bad they end up in the hospital and the incident doesn't end up on the news. It's still a bite, whether it's from a small dog or a big dog. Some of the incidents that show up on the news and they say it's a pitbull, sometimes isn't. They are mixes or something totally different. And there are many incidents of people getting bitten by dogs, most of the time it never makes the news unless it's a pit. There's no such thing as a bad breed, again it's how they were trained and in some instances bad breeding (breeding two dogs with bad temperaments or inbreeding). Which Dog Breeds are the Most Aggressive? Again, the breed will continue to get a bad rep as long as there are owners who don't care to train them. It's horrible and I hope one day it changes. Until then many will live in fear... heck I would be scared if a dog came charging at me because the owners are not responsible enough to secure them. |
Poor yorkie:( |

It's the owner that is at fault here. I can tell you here in New York you have no idea how these animals are treated and trained and abused all for money making purposes, once rescued the only alternative is to be put down, they are just to aggressive to retrain and not to people so much as to other animals. I have many friends who own pitbulls and they are the sweetest most loving animals, because the owners have trained them to be that way. I am saying the pitt is a dangerous animal if not trained properly and know from the start who the dominant one is, their jaws automatically lock down when they bite, they have been compared it to a hyena (thats strong) some wont release their jaws till killed:( When rescued their eyes say it all, what did I do , why did they do this to me, it\'s so sad :( they are killers in the ring cause thats all they know , they have been tortured and know if they don\'t win they will be killed on the spot, I have seen it first hand. I wouldn\'t trust ANY dog not to turn, the difference with the pit is the fact they can kill you with their bite. Don\'t lump ALL pits into this category , cause it\'s not true. When trained and properly managed the pitt is a loving companion and one who would die for their owner, blame people not the pitt/ It\'s very sad and I encourage anyone who knows of a fighting ring to please report it, cause these animals are suffering every single day:( |
It\'s always so sad to hear when a dog attacks. I\'ve got to give my opinion here too. I agree hands down that it\'s the owner\'s fault. I owned a Doberman pincher who was trained so well, when another animal walked past us as we were in my unfenced front yard, all I had to do was tell her to sit and stay and she\'d sit and then never move until I released her. She was such a friendly dog, everyone how met her for five minutes loved her. My vet cried right along with us the day we ended her fight with wobblers disease. It\'s amazing how many people get dogs with no idea on how to train them, or the desire to learn how to. Animal Planet did a great show on the Michael Vick dogs that were rescued. I highly recommend it. |
