This issue

I look at this issue as I look at these scenerios below: Lets say you have a drop dead gorgeous wife. You have your best friend in the world, never let each other down... coming over and you will be out of town, so your wife will be in the house with your friend. Your wife likes to walk around naked in the house and you tell her "Hey baby not to worry! just do your thing I trust my friend!"

Second scenario. this actually is a true scenario. I have a dear friend who lives in New Mexico, and his family had a great restaurant there in Taos. We went out west and I slept over at his parent's place. They had a guestroom that also had an area where they put the cash from the restaurant business for the night. When I slept over there, they moved the cash draw... Did it mean they didn't trust me?

IN both these scenarios there would be no disrespect, no issue of trust if: the guy tells his girlfriend to not walk around the house naked, when my friend's parents took a cash draw out of the guest room.

Its the same with dogs. You do not have to feel like your dog will attack a child to simply make it a common sense principle not to have children around the dog unsupervised.

I personally understand the argument about how dogs are raised, and for that matter, how a dog thinks. Dogs simply have different understanding and it can be fatal not to understand this. I had an incident not long ago. I walk my dogs at night off leash because seldom are people out. My dogs are not violent and one of them likes to say "hello" which bothers some people.

This young Soy Boy with his dog on a leash, got peeved because my dog ran up and said hello while his dog was on a least. I am with my 17 year old and here comes soy boy...."Hey man your dog should be on a leash" I say "I take him out at night so we do not run into people" before I can finish he starts threatening to call the cops, he is getting hostile...My dogs start forming a semi around me and snapping at him. They are not biting him, but warning him to cool it. I tell him "you don't know much about dogs do you? your antagonizing mine right now do you realize that? If these dogs were going to harm you withoug provocation they would have certainly done it by now, and don't get closer to me, relax a minute."

Poor idiot was all upset. The point being many people have dogs and havent the faintest idea how dogs operate. I would never start yelling or posturing to a dog owner with his dogs present.

Who livz a pitbullz wid a infance is ****ing not there in da head.mang

thething is that there are big dogs, 2x the size of your pit bull, that are completely harmless to your kids. and if they're alone in the house you're better off having a big dog with them just in case anybody in the neighborhood thinks it's a good idea to break in.


there are dogs that wouldn't hurt a human, ever. they exist. you need to raise them from a puppy, get them properly socialized, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and structure.


that said, i have a rescue who was a stray for at least a year, and i don't like for him to be around adults when i'm not in the room. not that he's a violent bruh or anything, but he was a stray and his instincts to protect himself if he perceives a threat are definitely still there. he's also fairly possessive of dog bones, and while he's not aggressive around his food he has this drive and love for it that's hard to explain unless you've been around a dog that has clearly gone hungry before. you wouldn't want to get your hand in the wrong spot, even if he wasn't trying to bite you he just goes at his dog bowl with abandon.

i remember when i brought home a 50 lb bag of dog food and he literally just stared at it, and me, until i put it away. he knows who feeds him, who is in charge, etc, but the food grabs his focus and it's hard to break.



as for pit bulls, they are what they are. they were bred to fight other dogs, and over the years some real f#cking ****heads have bred them for much worse, like guarding drug stashes, attacking people / robbing people, etc.


some of them make great pets and are worth rescuing. i'm sure my dog has some pit bull in there somehwere, but he looks and acts much more like a herding dog. but you're right, they shouldn't be around kids until they're big enough to at least read the signs and know when it's time to back off or even leave the room. rottweilers and even german shepards have the potential be very, very dangerous. i take a look at my dog's teeth sometimes and think, "man, i'm glad this guy is on my team."


last time i checked about half of hte mauling deaths by dogs in the US were pit bull attacks. there's obviously something going on there. most of it is the fat idiot who thinks having a pit bull makes him tough or makes him feel safe. but some of it just comes down to the dog. i've been bitten once by a dog and it was a pit bull. she didn't evne mean to hurt me, just jumped on me and had her mouth open. cut me right open between the eyes and i still have a scar. their teeth are out of this world sharp and their jaws are incredibly robust. the dog was literally bred to fight.

Why leave a kid alone/unsupervised at all much less with a killing machine ????

[-Kev-]

Pitbulls are great family dogs. Humans ruin them.

[aboutfkntime]

why are pitbulls required, period... ?

just give me 1 good reason

there are hundreds of dog breeds, so why own a pitbull... ?

people use them for intimidation... that is literally all they offer over other breeds

I think that pitbull owners are usually weak/timid people

best post in this thread

and likely the most accurate

the positive factors from a pitbull, are clearly apparent in EVERY other breed

you timid bltches could simply get a better dog

if my daughter gets mauled, it likely happened because you are a timid bltch

I would not take you for the kind that would have a rescue dog New England. Kudos to you! Both my guys are rescue dogs. My childhood pet was a dog I took home from the park as a stray. I made my parents promise when I went to camp not to get rid of "poochie." I loved that dog and love my two fellows here. there is a real connection that is hard to describe when it comes for the love I feel for dogs.

No breed is 100% safe or dangerous.

A pit will kill/maim a person better than a shih tzu will 100 % of the time though.
