I think there are alot of problems with cross breeding them.But I wouldnt personally own one,no offence to any yorkie talkers that own one as I know you love your dogs.Pit bulls have actually been banned from my country now and you have to get any left here nuetered.You still see them advertised in the paper but I think they are phasing the law in over time. |
I mean no offence when I say this, but no. I don't trust the breed at all. I have heard of way too many horror stories of people owning that particular breed, whether it be for a few months or 10 years and the animal turns on the family or a stranger for no apparent reason. I wouldn't even have my furbabies or any children around them. I do believe that they might be good pets, but there's always that chance that, for some reason a switch clicks in their brains and they decide to turn on humans or other animals. |
I have many problems with the stories of pit bulls being loving family pets and then turning on them and biting. Many of these stories once you look closer at them you see why the dogs attacked. Many of these dogs were abused in their familys but you never hear that side. I have seen many stories where sweet child Johnny was hitting the dog with a stick before the attack.... I'm not saying all pits or dogs that attack are abused, there are exceptions but no more with pits then any other breed. Pits just bring out the headlines more. I blame the media. |

I'm with you no disrepect but I don't trust them either. I do believe that it is the way they are raised. But, you never know. |
I dont care how many people say they are harmless. I would never let my child or my dogs around a pitbull. People have them in my neighborhood and when I take walks and walk by their fence they act like they want to attack. They are not a safe breed and their is a reason why there have been so many attacks by that breed. |

Where do you live? I know of some cities her in the states where it is illegal to have them within city limits. |
1 Attachment(s) Here is a picture of Mickeys and Minnies Brothers and sister. They are the most loving dogs. We have always owned a pittbull. And have never had one turn mean. I think its all in how the dog is raised. I let my Yorkies and Pitts visit and go around each other. But I do not let them play . Not b/c Im afarid they will bite them but b/c of the difference in the size. Now I would never let Mickey and Minnie go around any other large dog of any kind. B/c I know Mickey would try to take one on thinking he is the boss. and all it would take is one bite. |
I can see both sides... My cousin was at a friend's house who owned two pitbulls and they were supposed to be the most docile animals and they had never attacked or even bitten anyone or anything. One of the pitbulls came up to her and started sniffing her leg and she let him sniff her because she didn't want to pull away from him and scare him...Next thing you know, he's got his jaw locked on her leg and it took three grown men to get the pit bull off of her. This dog had never attacked anyone before...3 years later, she still has a horrible scar, and can't wear shorts or skirts because it looks so bad and she's lucky that's all that happened to her... On the other hand, a friend of mine has a pit bull who is also very docile and is great with her children. They pull her tail and climb all over her and she's as sweet as can be with them. But if any other dogs step on their property, she attacks them, and has done that so viciously that they have ended up in vet emergency. It's very scary... |

Here is the problem with the media and the pits. For example; Jojo is a 3 year old pit mixed that the owner got him from a back yard breeder with no paper and history of his bloodline. He climbed the fence one day and bite the kid next door and the next thing you know " PIT BULL ATTACK KID NEXTDOOR" is all over the nightly news. Don't be so ignorant, you got to know the history of the breed and what they were meant to do. They were bred for their gameness and royalty. They were not bred to be agressive toward human. Back in the day if they do show any agression toward human they would be put down and not reproduce. Think about it, before the fight the owner have to handle the other owner's dog. Would you want your dog to be aggresive that the other guy can't even get close? That's why they put the one thats agressive toward human to sleep and only breed for gameness and royalty. Their gameness and their drive do pass on to the half bred or the so call "PIT" that the media portray them to be. They say that pit bull are getting over populated but thats not true. The pit mixed are getting overpopulated while the real pit bulls are rare to see. I owned a pit named Duece that is ADBA registered Champion bloodline. His temperment is 2nd to none. He is the biggest baby in our family. Like all bull terrier they do have lots of energy and are very hyper. They need to be exercise everyday or else they will get into troble. I can go on and educate some of ya'll about American Pit Bull Terrier but I'm getting sleepy. Just remember that real pits are hard to find. And just because it looks like a pit does not mean that its a pit. |

Pits are the sweetest dogs ever!! We used to breed them... They are protective but that goes with any dog. Ramsey will growl and bark if someone tries to hit me. They are only mean if the owner raises them that way... In some areas they are raised to be fitting dogs. It's not instinct they have to be taught it. |
I love all dogs but Pitts scare me - The day Ray Ray.. my neighbors dog was hurt ...a Pitt attacked a little boy who was walking with his mother TWO STREETS from my house. The poor little boy was in surgery ALL DAY I just heard this on the news . I've seen the dog in my neighborhood roaming free.....Well...He finally attacked and a child was seriously hurt. He also could have been the dog who broke into my neighbors yard that day. So no...I'm scared of Pitts and only certain people should have one - VERY RESPONSIBLE people - not like my neighbors who's 2 dogs constantly get out of their yard. |
