Need dog advice

I believe that Ralph said one problem with the Corvair was the suspension design caused the car to roll. I know this is just one incident but my older brother's first car was an early model Corvair. He rolled it one night while I was asleep in the back seat. I don't recall any pit bulls being involved in this accident. :)
 
Pitbull and a Lab in the yard next door. They were playing with the 7 year old. Pitbull went nutso and attacked the lab. They were able to beat it off and got the kid inside. Put the pitbull down.

Down south of here a kid spent the weekend with his Dad. Dads pitbull chewed up the kids face and neck. Put the pitbull down....

My Uncle's Rot was called Baby because it was just a big baby. Untill it pulled a little girl off her bicycle and chewed up her arm... Put the Rot down....

Read the papers and watch the news... Why the hell would anyone take a chance with one of these animals and their kids..

23 year old kid down the street walking 3 pitbulls. Two on a leashe and one runninng free. After the 2nd day and 4th pass in front of our house, I asked the "kid" to get it on a leash. He got very billergent. Thought for a while I was going to have to put the kid down.

All he had to do is say ok and go about his business. But he went semi ballistic so I called animal control and the police. They gave the kid a talking to as there is a county leash law. Especially for pitbulls...

Four days later one of these pitbulls attacked the kids mother. Put it down...

I now keep a shotgun handy anytime I am working outside. They still have 4 down there.

Yellow or white Lab would be wayyyy better......
 
We just got a miniature poodle male 10 days ago. He is smart as a whip. He follows our 8 year old mixed breed outside and is learning to be potty trained by watching her. I am really amazed at how bright he is. We don't have any young children, but he gets along great with the whole family. That is the extent of my knowledge, but so far we are very impressed with him... :D

Yowza, that's a departure from your post on 9/4/01 where you said this:

And to address flava, I would agree they shouldn't be compared to pit bulls, because pit bulls, outside of the ring, are generally sweet-natured dogs, providing they don't fall into the hands of ghetto trash druggies.

And exactly how does what I said now contradict what I said then?

I think they are generally sweet-natured dogs, but when they snap, they do particularly greater harm than other dogs.

And yes, you seem to find rottweilers and pit bulls as favorite breeds among the street thugs. Like I said-- poseur dogs.

Go back to sleep.

According to who? Speculation on your part perhaps? Compared to a pomeranian? Maybe.
Ever see a dachshund tear into something? Yup, the lovable weener dog. Guess what dachshund means. Dachs=Badger, hund=dog. These little packages of TNT were bred to hunt badgers in their lairs and I promise you, they have every bit as much heart and tenacity as a Pit Bull, if not more so.
But you won't see these dogs in the news 'cuz they are so darn cute. :rolleyes:
There are many other dogs that are equaly as tenacious as a Pit, but they are not the flavor of the month right now. Media needs a scapegoat and ratings...the Pit Bull fills those needs. You are right on one count though...that the hip gangster wannabe's own alot of these dogs. They make them mean and the whole breed and responsible owners suffer for it.
As of now, all I am seeing is a bunch of hand wringing and waiving of arms with no real substance. Sorry to stick my nose into your perfect little safe worlds filled with the sound of Muzak, but some of you folks need to open your eyes.
Komondor-maybe you need to wake up.
 
m1marty,

Listen dingleberry. I'm not one of these fanatical anti-pit bull preachers. I never claimed they were some evil, mangling machines. I'm just stating what is common knowledge.

As far as comparing dachshunds to pit bulls, that is hilarious. Dachshunds don't have even a reasonable fraction of the jaw strength or chest strength that a pit bull has. Nor are they big enough or shaped properly to attack a man's vitals. That is why they stop mid-way in their impotent little attack and say, "Oops, maybe I should let go before this guy's ankle sends me flying about 20 ft into the air."

Wake up, dingleberry.

Dingleberry...cute. :rolleyes:
Common knowledge? Sources? I keep hearing the same things from you and a few others in this thread. I could get a better debate from a brick.
I was not trying to say that dachshunds do as much damage as a Pit Bull, rather that there are lots of other breeds that have the same tenacity and drive as a Pit. I think I said as much in my post, or does the sphincter halo you wear prevent you from reading that? While a dachshund may not have enough size to really tear into an adult, the sure the hell can with kids. Isn't that what this thread is about? "Saving the children" from evil killing machines? Or only the ones you lable as such? I hear a whole lot of flapping from you, but very little has any substance. All hear-say and "I read about it once in a news paper" You're not in Politics by chance, are you? If not, you should be. Talk a huge game, but really much ado about nothing. I and a few others have asked for proof on these statements made. None has been brought forward save for the usual "I swear, I saw it on the TV!" Lame at best. You are more than free to have your own opinions on things, as I am not trying to bring anyone over to the dark side. I am just trying to educate the masses as to this dogs true nature as a loving and loyal companion. Did you know the Pit Bull was the "National Dog" during the war years of WWI?
Just a little trivia tidbit on these killers.
*Little did these poor kids know that their very lives were in danger*

Yeah Thomason, but you were asleep. No doubt an evil Pitbull bit your brother while he was driving and caused him to wreck. :eek: ;)

jiminy, good quote. :) I think that different breeds have different temperments, just like diffent people do. Some are more prone to act agressively if threatened and some are more prone to back off and be submissive. Whether they act on their instincts though is largely a result of training. Pit Bulls are still widely trained to fight, and to fight to kill. This is an unfortunate effect of humans' selfishness. It still goes on a lot, and it's sick. But it does make a large number of Pit Bulls very dangerous as a result.

As far as not knowing whether a dog is mean or docile, I think it's safe to say that no one should ever go up to any dog without first asking the owner (and no owner should have their dog loose.) Even a normally-gentle Standard Poodle could bite if it had been trained badly or was frightened. And all parents should make sure their children know this. I can't tell you how many times little kids have run up to my dog and their parents weren't even watching them. Fortunately for me, I can totally trust my dog to be extremely gentle with kids. I've had kids pull her hair and bug her and the worst she'd do would be to whine and try to get away or hide behind me. But not all dogs are like that, and I'd never take a chance.

Poodles are evil, and should be eradicated. I stand by this 100%. :p


:D :D :D My aunts poodles took what could be construed as a beating(kids love dogs and can sometimes be rough) by her nephews and nieces, and those dogs never even bared their teeth. They were some good dogs.
 
Not a low shedder, but IMHO the best all around house dog, and one that is great with kids.

Seriously I hope most people reading this thread will just keep their minds open and not automatically believe the anti-pitbull hysteria in the leftist media and elsewhere.

Eventhough this breed really does strike fear(and unbridled hatred) in the hearts of sheeple and like minded communists, these dogs are not the killing machines they want you to believe.

I've owned many many different breeds of dogs all my life including Great Danes, German Shepherds and even Beagles, and in all honesty while all those dogs were extremely loving and good natured and I wouldn't hesitate in owning any of them again, my two pitbulls are atleast as loving and good natured if not even more.
These are simply extremely good dogs who have had the misfortune of getting on the wrong side of the propaganda train, as other dogs have done in other decades.

ANd let's not talk about ability to do damage. Any large dog has the same ability.
WHat, are we going to kill off every large dog for the sake of reducing fear in sheeples? Screw that.

How about micro chipping and killing off sheeple instead?

------------------------------

I simply own a couple pitbulls because they needed my help. And I'm happy I came across this breed.
One was found by a guy renting my investment home and he gave it to me because he knew I'm involved in pitbul rescue.

The other was left to starve next door so I took it in.
Since everybody has a hate for this breed, who else is going to take it in but me?

Not surprisingly I've learned a lot about human nature from seeing people's hate of this breed.
Yes, it's true that these dogs often end up in the wrong hands due to their image. And if it weren't pitbulls, they'd choose some other strong dog and abuse them and then they'd do the same amount of damage.

You're actually lucky that these scumbag street thugs choose pitbulls, which have to be abused to a greater extent inorder to attack humans, than other dogs have to be abused. ANother dog can be abused enough to kill a human far easier.
THAT's the cruel burden that pitbulls have to endure.

Both of my pits couldn't be more loving and good natured towards every man and other animal if they tried.
Not exactly the killer breed that sheeple would love to believe.

Funny enough, if a burgler were to come to my home he'd pay more attention to my two pits coming at him(to lick him). He wouldn't probably pay much attention to me with my sharpened e-tool coming at him.

Funny that, ey!

What an evil killer dog, Marty.
Looks like Petey is going to snap back and bite the front kid's head off any second now. Yeah, any second now. :D

For what it's worth, Petey was killed by an idiot who didn't like the owner.

A typical end to a good pure breed AMerican Pitbull Terrier loved by the Rascals kids.(the kids were distraught upon hearing of his death).
Humans don't deserve a breed of dog this good.

I never knew that about Petey. What a shame. Got an article on it?
 
here's some stast I pulled from the web concerning fatal dog attacks:

Breeds Involved

Pit Bull and Pit-bull-type dogs (21%),
Mixed breed dogs (16%),
Rottweilers (13%),
German Shepherd Dogs (9%),
Wolf Dogs (5%),
Siberian Huskies (5%),
Malamutes (4%),
Great Danes (3%),
St. Bernards (3%),
Chow Chows (3%),
Doberman Pinschers (3%),
other breeds & non-specified breeds (15%).

It seems to me that statistics taken alone, especially when the % ownership of "pit bulls" are probably pretty small releative to other dog breeds, that owning a pit bull statistically speaking, is pretty risky. According to some info I found, "pitt bulls" are not even in the top 50 dog breeds. Not in top 51 I believe when considering "mixed" as a breed.

On a personal anecdotal note, I know of about 5 people with "Pit Bulls". Two are very dog agressive and owned by druggie trash. Two seem to be very sweet dogs, One is sweet until she "flips" and becomes nutso. In my small experience 3 out of 5 "pit bulls" that I have experience with exihibit dangerous behavior.

Am I in a "pocket" of bad "pit bulls"? Maybe.
