Sorry if you do not think the woman you were talking to knew what she was talking about when she said PITBULLS were the best dogs...But IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with this breed YES THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST! |
I just have to ask, if the dog that were injured were say a cocker, a cairn terrier or any other breed but a yorkie would we be all in an uproar about it?? I honestly dont think that any of us would have ever heard anything about the insident if it weren't a yorkie.
Pit bulls do have a bad rap. As do rotties. But I would trust my kids with a rottie or a pit that I knew. I can see not trusting any breed of dog that you dont know. But in my experience with dogs and working with dogs all my life the ones that have given me the most trouble are golden retrievers and labs. I have a scar on my leg that required 21 stitches from being bitten by a golden retriever. I also have severe nerve damage in my right thumb from being bitten by a lab.
My son who was 6 at the time was walking with my brother down the street and had a lab walk right up to him, tail wagging and bit him on the arm, he will now have a scar for the rest of his life.
My other son went to his little friends house last year and got bit by their cocker spaniel.
So it isn't just pit bulls that are a problem. Its a poor mentality in my opinion. I work with dogs on a daily basis. I have my vet tech degree, I have worked as an animal control officer and now I am a dog groomer. |
