Are you sure there are no shrooms close to your house? Or maybe he just licked a cat and is now in heavy metal land?

Show me the vid when your angry neighbor slaps you in the face and what your pit bull does in response.

One time I was goofing with my neighbor and I was afraid I was going to lose my arm when his lovable pit bull started growling when I reached for my neighbor's shoulder.

This is anything but a unique trait for pit bulls. Several breeds of dogs will do this.

Unfortunately due to irresponsible breeding and their popularity for fighting some pit's do have temperament issues.

On the other hand a mellow pit from a reputable breeder will make a great pet.

Try it with a German Sheppard and he would have bitten you.
A large variety of dogs have been bred over the decades/centuries, to protect their owners and guard their properties. They are only doing what we want them to do.

Pitbulls however have mostly been bred to attack other dogs and certainly not humans.
A pitbull biting humans was not wanted because people had to break dogs up in dogfighting and they didnt want to get bitten in the process.
Nowadays most of the lines are bread for other purposes, but some lines still have the agressiveness towards other dogs in there genes.
Agressivenes toward humans has nothing to do with the breed, but ofcourse there will allways be assholes who dont know how to raise a dog.

Im amazed how people allways have so much criticisme on the media for being one sided in reports about war, racial issues etc. and then totally buy into the whole "pitbulls are bad" propaganda.

Livin it up in the O.C.
I have a Pit mix and she is the most chill dog ever... oh, and also the most agressive dog ever!! Don't let that vid fool you into complacency.

My dog, Sierra, is friendly as heck to anyone that comes into our house. She will also be very timid towards inanimate objects (like that clock). Same with any dog that is nice and mellow. That is... She will be fine with it until your dog does the smallest thing that could be interpreted as agression. Then Sierra responds in kind. Does it matter that she is 60lbs and you have a 6lb chiuahua? Not to her... The other dog started it, she will finish it.

Chihuahuas are dogs?

Any active, non-mentally disordered dog would try to protect its threatened owner if it gives half a ****.

you haven't been around many GS......have you?
German shepperds are guard dogs. And they are guard dogs for a reason.
They have it in their genes to be protective just as pitbulls have it in their genes to be agressive against other dogs.
These traits are now ofcourse being filtered out by modern breeding programs.
What I was trying to say was that therefore a GS is more likely to be protective over someone then a pitbull.

When it comes to pitbulls people seem to confuse their agressivenes against other dogs with agressivenes against people.
Yet when any dog chases and kills a rabbit/bird/whatever animal its perfectly normal.

Heres an interesting link on the subject...

As others have said it's the wankers who keep pitbulls for status that are the problem. Never socialising them, badly disciplining and no where near adequate exercise. It's tragic as they are absolute softies and very people centric dogs.

BB, your a lucky guy, she looks like a cool dog.

That clip reminded me of the '79 version of Amityville Horror when the dogs are going crazy scratching the wall to discover there was some evil sheit going on in there.

P.S. I hope you sleep well tonite..hehe

Pitbulls used to be banned in Holland. After a while they realized how little sense the law made and they have now lifted it.

Now suspected "dangerous dogs" of any breed can be reported and will have to go through a behaviour test if theres significant reason for it.

Banning pitbulls is retarted, the machos will just go to the next breed that will surely be demonized by the media when pitbulls are out of the picture and will cause the exact same problems.

Our pit aggressive towards other dogs, so (being the responsible dog owners we are) we don't bring her around other dogs. We take her on walks when there are less likely to be other people walking their dogs etc. We haven't had any problems because of this and she is 8 years old now.

I haven't ever seen her be aggressive towards people. She is the most loving dog you will ever meet.

Here is our pit vs our wall clock. People really have the wrong idea about this breed. Enjoy. :rofl:
I'm sure I'll be reamed by the learned behavior crowd, but this is the dog personality type that causes problems. The ones that get scared too easily. Dogs attack when they have a panic reaction. They don't do it for fun.

I dont mean to be offensive, but u obviously dont have the feintest id what ur talking about...
Ive read a great deal about the subject, and i have a reasonable amount of personal experiance with the breed.
Behaviour like this has nothing to do with troublesome behaviour that is associated with so called dangerous dog breeds.

Its uneducated opinions like this, fed by the media or bad intel, that gives pitbulls a bad name.
Please try to refrain from this nonsense in the future, youre causing harm in areas you know nothing about.

No, Woody is correct.
Aside from dogs that are trained specifically to be aggressive, dogs with little confidence are the ones that generally bite. They attack because they do not know what else to do. They bite out of fear. They lack social skills. Total Heckler confirmed this already by stating that this pitty is not good with other dogs. This has nothing to do with his breed. See how the other dog in the video walks through the frame and pays no attention to the clock?
I live in Ontario where the relatively recent pitbull ban has caused a lot of controversy (the place where Mmike posted the article about). I have been actively against it from day one. I agree with you that the groups who give certain breeds a bad rap will simply move onto another breed (and they have...bullmastiffs and dogue de bordeauxs are next).

BTW, awesome dog Total Heckler :thumb: You clearly understand your dogs "issues" and as a responsible owner take steps to ensure other dogs are safe.

Before you go swinging a cactus, I've lived with several dogs. I like dogs. The only ones to ever bite me, other than playful nips, have been the nervous type. I'm not hating on a particular breed. Just commenting that the dog pictured above is afraid of something which poses no threat. I don't find it all that cute.

Dude, your dog needs more interaction with other dogs not less!

She was wagging her tail the whole time. This is how she plays with our other dog when it is laying down. Pretty standard behavior when our pit is playing. You are reading into this a little too much. She has never bit a person in her 8 years of life, even while playing, she closed mouth bonks you with her face.

I been bit by our Husky/German Shepard more than the pit. And bit more by little dogs in my life than these ones. My wife has worked as a vet tech the last 7 years, and she has never been bitten by a pitbull. But she has been bitten by dozens of other breeds.

Im aware of the fact that insecure dogs can bite, but that goes for every breed.
This dog does not show any insecurity at all.
You can recognize the body language of an insecure dog from a mile away and this is nothing like it.
His ears, his tail and his whole body show that he is playing, he is having fun.
This is a happy doggy!

Theres a difference between playing like this and showing signs of fear and insecurity.
The fast that this dog has some problems with other dogs has nothing to do with insecurity either, the opposite is actually true.
Pitbulls come from a dog fighting herritage and this still shows today.
They will more likely be agressive towards other dogs because its in their genes.
Not out of insecurity, but because they were bred to kill and destroy other dogs in the pit, scare away intruders from the house, kill rats and other vermin.
This is why a Beagle will go after a rabbit, and it does not mean that these animals are also agressive against humans.

As I said before, a pitbull that was agressive against humans was considered bad and they would not be bread with any further.

I became a pitbull owner through my ex girlfriend and I didnt know much about the breed.
But I have read tons of stuff about the subject since then because I wanted to know what I was dealing with. And believe me, if i want to know about things I go al the way.

People will have to accept the fact that some pits will have problems with other dogs the same way as a beagle has a natural drive to kill any rabbit he sees.
As I said before, please read more about the subject before making any statements like this because they are simply not true.
