I have met a bunch of pitties and like them.
I had a few bad experiences growing up, so I avoided them out of nature. Abbey was supposed to be half Rottie half Rhodesian Ridgeback. When she got full size, it was obvious there was no Rhodesian in her and it also become obvious she's Pitty. She is seriously the sweetest dog on the planet that he no aggression towards anything and is a huge chicken. And now I've met a few and understand it was the owners that were the issue growing up.

I had a pitbull belonging to a friend of mine latch onto my wrist so hard it broke the rigid plastic splints in it supporting my already broken wrist

luckily the wrist broke again completely so that was cool

owner guy had to hit the dog in the head with a hammer while I undid the brace and slid my hand out of it, the dog never letting go.


anyone who tells you pitbull fear is unwarranted is an idiot.

All dogs can be trained poorly. The problem that is specific to pitbulls is when that happens, the consequences tend to be far worse than with other breeds because they're god damned slabs of muscle.

I think everyone's met sweet as hell pitbulls by now. But that doesn't mean the breed is not unique and presents some very real issues when it comes to them losing their shit.

My buddy raised a pitty from 8 weeks old. She loved me and was a sweet dog until she went partially blind and then she started biting anything that was within mouth reach.

Some of my most beloved dogs in my life were/are pitbulls, it's my favorite breed hands-down, and I know ^^^ that's accurate. :(

Have had two pit bull mixes. Both sweethearts but also any bites from being scared or confused would not end well so I just had to make sure I only exposed them to controlled environments.

I occasionally watch a friends dog that is half Belgian Malinois. There is no problem that dog doesn't think can be solved by murder. Thankfully not a popular breed.

Peaty hears you.

Can confirm, when she's latched on she's hard to get released.

It's not much different than with a Rottie. It's a loaded gun, basically. My Rottie was the first one service certified by Support Teams for Independence for disability work. But it could have gone either way, she was an amazing dog. If I had taught her to bite your nuts off, you'd be done. :rofl:

Is that some AI bs?
I suspect it is. I asked my cousin about it. She denies it is. I denied her request for assistance. There is no way that the houses surrounding here are in good shape. It was shitty when I was a kid. However it is true that houses in Kensington and Fishtown are being rehabbed because houses in the Suburbs of Philly are not affordable to young folks. Philly needs a lot of work to become habitable by any measure.

for the price they are pretty bomber, I will chase down a matco truck for their brand of extractors FYI
I'll have to try to find some, we don't get Matco here but SP cordless tools are the same as Matco so I'll see if they have extractors.
Which ones?

EDIT- There's some NOS Aussie made ones that I want to try, they are now only for sale in the US.
But our dollar is so low at the moment that it's not worthwhile.
