I don't envision there ever being a time when someone would want to spay and neuter all dogs. It is difficult enough to get legislature to spay and neuter known dangerous breeds that were started for the pure pleasure of watching them kill. But I am thankful there are some communities making it happen. Wow -- I think this is the first time I have disagreed with you, Ann. But only respectfully so. |
Here are a couple of facts that support the idea behind spay and neutering dangerous pit bull type dogs: 90% of fatal dog attacks are by dogs that have not been spayed/neutered: There is not a single case of a fatal dog attack by a spayed/neutered pit bull type dog (National Canine Research Council); 81% of dogs involved in bite incidents were not spayed/neutered (Texas 2002 Severe Animal Attack and Bite Surveillance Summary) Just seems like it would be good common sense. |
You all know that i Love pits and don't want to see them banned. i'm for the breed 100% It would be great if some sort of spay/neuter rule can be enforced on Pits and other potentially dangerous large breed dogs (Presas, Corsos and Filos to name a few - you wanna see scary, check these out:eek: they walk into a room and people actually run out sometimes). Unfortunately even if you get the "Pit Bull" breed to follow this rule what about all the Pit mixes. The one i posted a picture of is like a Pit/american bull/something mix. big pit looking dog that was probably just a giant whoops in the making. i rescued her as a tiny puppy from the shelter i worked at for my friend. Then there was a litter or 9 pups that came from a jack russle/beagle looking dog. 8 of them turned out to look like pits and i'm talking 50lbs and over (only 2 looked like beagles). i guess what i'm trying to say is that it would be impossible to spay/neuter all pits because of the mix factor. |

Yes, pits were great dogs before people started being careless with breeding to acquire certain characteristics. The cases you stated were valid, but, most occured a long time ago. Times have changed. People have changed. Years ago, pits were bred according to their standard; now, there is so much "back yard" breeding going on that you really don't know what you are getting. Very sad. It is clearly not the dogs fault!! I have had a very horrific experience with one of my former neighbor's family dog, and will never forget it. I do not judge all pits by that experience, but, that experience plus all of the weekly news reports about pits snapping, reminds me that the potential is always there. (Any dog can snap, understandably, but since this thread is about pits, I'm refering to pits). Ok, this has brought back too many memories. |

1 Attachment(s) I have the meanest baddest dog in town..weighting in at a whoppin 4.4lb...hereeeeesssss BISKIT....Yes folks..he has been known to drop several dogs that outweight him by 40 to 60 lb..We are taking names if any ofyou think your dog is bad enough to take this beast :D |
4 Attachment(s) I just have to say something... I have been raised around the pit bull/am staff breed my entire life, with that being said... you start to gain an eye for the ones that are unstable. There are many warning signs that tell you when a dog should be put down or used for something other than a pet (protection training etc) The dog could be the best pet.. and very loyal BUT THERE WILL STILL BE WARNING SIGNS. It is up to the owner to RECOGNIZE those behaviors and do what is right for your family and for the dog. We had a beloved family dog that was excellent with all of us, however, he was very protective when it came to other people in or around or home. We Finally made the decision when he was 1 yr. old to give him up to World Class K-9 where they trained him in protection and he became their #1 dog. He outdid all the old dogs that had been #1 for years in their care. I couldn't bare to put him down, but even the trainer said that if training failed he would put him down himself ( I am grateful it NEVER came to that) It broke out hearts to let him go, but we were so happy to see what he accomplished. Anyhow my point is, most times the warning signs are ignored as people do not understand the damage a pit bull can do. They attribute it to their dog acting "naughty" or unruley. Until the day comes that the dog, that should never have been made a pet to begin with due to an unstable tempermant, does something that can never be reversed. Also it is a MYTH that Pit Bulls have lock-jaw. It has been proven many times by experts and can easily be accessed on the internet if searched. There is no dog that has lock jaw. Pit Bulls just have very strong jaw muscles very simular to other mastiff type breeds and a will to keep holding on. I love the APBT breed and will continue to love and raise them for as long as I live. However, THE BREED IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! and dog with unstable tempermants in their bloodline or unstable themselves should be put down. APBT owners and Breeders NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE! and that is the bottom line. I think people need to think before they speak, just like we all love our yorkies... us pit bull owners LOVE our Pit Bulls the same. I doubt any of you would be happy if we came here speaking of our yorkies like that. |
