These animals are not vicious by nature. Some people make them vicious. They need love and attention, more so than most dogs but what they often get is isolation and mistreatment.Agreed.As the Dog Whisperer proved long ago, pit bulls are great dogs. Too bad some humans that own them, are assholes.What would be so wrong with not making this breed anymore? You pit bull lovers are so stupid.Not going to happen.I don’t see the problem with fixing all pit bulls and not breeding them anymore. It’s a breed we invented we can just stop breeding those types of dogs.But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
It doesn’t matter how much pit bull lovers cry. They can just love their dog till it dies and then next time go with a different breed. They’ll get over it.
But why would it bother you if every pitbull were fixed and we don’t make them anymore?
most dogs are mean because their owners made them that way ! pits are as sweet and docile as any other breed if they are raised that way unless [as with any breed ] there is something wrong with the dog . the publem with the pit breed is that most punks and abusive thugs that want a mean and vicious dog choose a pit and raise it that way . its not the dogs fault in most cases .But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
Not so.I don't have any pit bulls and never have. However, I know several families that do and one breeder. They have never had a problem with there pit bulls. I did a lot of investigation before I got our current dog and learned a couple of interesting things about this breed.But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
First and foremost, Pit Bulls love people and they expect love in return. Unfortunately, many people get pit bulls for home security, to guard the store, or warehouse without understanding their nature. They get them as young dogs, put them in a home or business alone for many hours or days with little human contact which to a Pit Bull or many other dogs is torture. Worse yet some believe they need to "condition" these dogs to make them mean so as be a good watch dog or guard dog only to find they are neither. They then end up in a dog pound then transferred from one rescue shelter to another because adult Pit Bulls are not valued as household pets, primary due to their reputation. Eventually a family adopts the animal but unfortunately, months or years of abuse can't be easily erased and they are often not suitable as a family pet.
Dogs being pack animals need contact and affection. The family becomes the pack and one person, usually the family member that cares most for the animal becomes the leader of the pack. Dogs need this. If you deny this and subject them to isolation and mistreatment, you are likely to have vicious animal.
If you want a pit bull, get a puppy where you know it's history and raise it with all the love and attention it craves and it will reward you with undying love and loyalty.
Bullshit. Pitbulls were bred for one purpose and that is to fight.

Bullshit. Pitbulls were bred for one purpose and that is to fight.
Some pit bulls were selected and bred for their fighting ability which has been outlaw for over a century in most countries. However, Pit Bulls today are specifically bred for work and companionship. These dogs have long been popular family pets, noted for their gentleness, affection and loyalty.
Even those Pit Bulls bred to fight other animals were not prone to aggressiveness toward people. Dogs used for fighting needed to be routinely handled by people; therefore aggression toward people was not tolerated. Any dog that behaved aggressively toward a person was culled, or killed, to avoid passing on such an undesirable trait. Research on pet dogs confirms that dog aggressive toward other dogs are no more likely to direct aggression toward people than dogs that aren’t aggressive to other dogs.
In short, Pit Bulls make good pets. However, when acquiring any dog, you should be aware of it's history or be prepared to deal with an abused animal which always has the potential for vicious behavior.
Position Statement on Pit Bulls
That is oh so true. Unfortunately, a lot of kids who crave love and acceptance by their parents are dished out hate and abuse. They become the punks and abusive thugs you refer to and they take out their aggression on animals seeking to abuse them as they were abused.most dogs are mean because their owners made them that way ! pits are as sweet and docile as any other breed if they are raised that way unless [as with any breed ] there is something wrong with the dog . the publem with the pit breed is that most punks and abusive thugs that want a mean and vicious dog choose a pit and raise it that way . its not the dogs fault in most cases .But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
I fully support getting pets from shelters but you have to be careful because shelters often end up with badly abused animals. I know, I had one for 9 years. A wonderful dog in many respects but he would cower out of fear that he would be hit when I put a hand down to pet him . He was always fearful of strangers and could be aggressive toward them.But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
Pete the Pup was a pit bull that got along well with children. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Schools-out-our-gang-1930.jpg
It all depends on the mutt's training. Pit bulls are very intelligent dogs.
Most of the dogs available for adoption in shelters are of this breed. President Trump has been criticized for being the first President without a WH dog. IMHO, the President should adopt 2 dozen pit bulls from the Washington DC shelter. The WH is heaven for dogs, with the many cars on the property to chase and the many toilets to drink from. He could help his friends at the NY Times and Washington Post by using those newspapers for the dogs' business.
All, I can say is that has not been my experience and it is contrary to the position of the ASPCA, American Veterinary Medical Association, and the CDC.Not so.I don't have any pit bulls and never have.

Position Statement on Pit Bulls
I respectfully disagree. I believe that Pit Bulls are a menace and any parent who thinks their children are safe around them needs to have their head examined.

Because people are walking around with these loose cannons. I was walking my dog and this pit broke out of its yard and ran up on us. Luckily it wasn’t a crazy pit and it didn’t attack.What would be so wrong with not making this breed anymore? You pit bull lovers are so stupid.Not going to happen.I don’t see the problem with fixing all pit bulls and not breeding them anymore. It’s a breed we invented we can just stop breeding those types of dogs.But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
It doesn’t matter how much pit bull lovers cry. They can just love their dog till it dies and then next time go with a different breed. They’ll get over it.
Why do you care?
Start breeding poodlesLOLI don’t see the problem with fixing all pit bulls and not breeding them anymore. It’s a breed we invented we can just stop breeding those types of dogs.But yeah absolutely no reason to feel uneasy about having them around your kids.
It doesn’t matter how much pit bull lovers cry. They can just love their dog till it dies and then next time go with a different breed. They’ll get over it.
So, if the pit bull owners are the breeders too?
I love every pit I know. I love my dog. I fixed my dog. I would have no problem fixing every pit bull. What’s the big deal?These animals are not vicious by nature. Some people make them vicious. They need love and attention, more so than most dogs but what they often get is isolation and mistreatment.Agreed.As the Dog Whisperer proved long ago, pit bulls are great dogs.

The situation with pit bulls is often a self-fulling prophesy. Many people believe they are vicious animals. People acquire them for that reason. They treat them as vicious animal and they become one. It's really shameful, because as a breed they are one of the most loving and loyal of all breeds.

Position Statement on Pit Bulls

Yeah I guess the outrageous statistics are just a coincidence
What we do now where every white trash neighborhood has pits chained in a back yard they can easily escape from.
My grandmothers neighbor had their pit in a small pen with a weight chained around its neck. To make it tougher? Were they fighting it? So fucking mean.
Same old.......my pit bull is so gentle with my kidsBoth of My daughters own Pitts. I've never own one so they don't get it from Me.Pitties really are nice dogs. They're healthy, too, compared to other breeds...though they are prone to ear problems...but if you vet them regularly you can stay on top of it. They're smart, they absolutely love people.In fact...I'm thinking may be I'll get a pit next time.
Or a French Bulldog
Or both!
They are powerful and have a strong prey drive, but you can absolutely train them to ignore it. One of the reasons pits are such good dogs is that their love of humans is much stronger than their prey/fight drive. Our snoop was raised around babies and little animals...he will let bunnies and kids climb all over him and never hurt them.
Both dogs are gentle, yet rambunctious. That is because both are about a year and a half old.
Both allow My grandchildren to climb on them and they both wrestle with the kids. I can't tell you how often Malakai (My youngest grandson) has scratches on his arms and face from playing with his dog.
Never once was there a concern the dog would turn on him. He's a boy with a dog and the two are as natural as water running down a hillside.
I'm a cat person, but love dogs. Every child should have a dog at least once in their life and a Pitt is a good dog.
I pitty the fool who tries to hurt them when he's about.
The biggest thing about pitts. They effin eat like a division of infantry!
