Like regesting guns has stop around 30,000 poeple being shot each year in the USA. As for pit bull/bull terrior there were breed as fighting dogs/pig hunting dogs, so why anyone would want one as a pet to have a home is rather strange to me. You must ask your self what the appeal to owning a dog like that is.
When all they really need is the Raiders sticker.
They are natually fond of people and I lived around them all of my childhood all with out incident. The sad fact is that many people get a bull dog and abuse it to make it mean but then just about any dog will if abused.
What would happen if a guy was cleaning his uzi and it slipped out of his hands, bouncd off the ground and it accidentally shot a bunch of people?
Who knows, maybe nothing?
Well that's sorta what I meant. I think letting your pit bull loose is almost worse than...."losing control" of your automatic weapon because the dog has a mind ...albeit defective, of its own....
Classed by AKC as "American Staffordshire Terrier" and by UKC as "American Pit Bull Terrier."
This is like watching "best in show"
Any dog can be "temperment" bred to enhance aggression. Yes, pitbulls were originally bred for pit fighting or baiting. Either against bulls, bears or other dogs. They are also often used in hunting wild boar. Most non-sporting breeds have been used similarly at one point or another in their lineage.
Broom was found by the dogs' owner, Robert Freeman, 67. He said the dogs were attacking the woman when he arrived, and speculated that the attack had gone on for at least 10 minutes.
Well said. We just got a puppy who is (as far as we can tell) part some kind of shepherd, part pit bull, part Lab and something else. Judging by how odd she looks now, maybe a lot of something else. She is a sweetheart. But she has a massive head and when full grown, will definitely be intimidating. If we do our job right, she'll end up like Bernie, our other dog. When the theives come, she'll hold the door for them. I won't have a vicious dog in my house. I don't share living space with them for the protection. I share myself with them because I like animals.
If he's cleaning his uzi while it's loaded, then for sure he ought to be prosecuted. For stupidity, if nothing else.
Golden Retrievers are hardly tiny, yappy dogs.
You are right that any dog is potentially violent and for the most part will bite if provoked. But how often beyond the initial bite does the attack go in the case of a golden retriever? Not very often as the typical retriever is going to beat a hasty retreat. However, most of the time in attacks with Pit Bulls those initial bites do evove into full blown attacks. And due to their size and strength it is hard to stop.
Goosie, where on earth did you hear that? From the same person who said that a palm strike to the bridge of the nose sends shards into the brain rendering instant death?Originally posted by goosemagoo
Just in case you ever need to know:
A knee to a dog's ribs just behind the shoulder will more than likely explode the dog's heart rendering him dead in a few seconds. This is best accomplished if the dog is on the ground.
If a pitbull attacked my dog no one would have to decide if they were going to put the dog to sleep or not. They could just drag him away

I have seen pit bulls bite the $hit out of people all the while getting beat on with a baseball bat. Pits are fast, durable, powerful and next to fearless. It's hard to knee one in the ribs while it's dragging you around by the hand or has a hold of your scalp. I would not feel safe going against one with anything less than a shotgun.
hmmm.....sounds like a certain guy on the team....who could it be.........i think his name starts with an S and ends in a T....?
Just wanted to dispell a common misconception. There is no "lock" in a pit-bulls jaw mechanical or otherwise that prevents the opening. This is an urban legend.
