Pit bull kills 1, sends 2nd to hospital.

I totally agree with Val. I'm a big believer that the dog is usually innocent in the sense that his programming overrides everything.

Unless you're a breeder and have bred several lines of the same gene, there is really no way to know what kind of traits you'll get.

I've adopted all 3 of my dogs from the pound. I had ZERO clue what kind of traits any of them would have. Until I was sure that they would not hurt my kids, they stayed at arm's length. Fortunately, that didn't take long and actually my two biggest ones will probably lick you to death before they would even bark. Now the little Schnauzer mofo (it's my wife's dog) is the meanest and thinks he's the alpha. He is outweighed by atleast 70 lbs, yet he will growl at them and take their stuff..... :lmfao:

He snapped at my son once and I promise you he WON'T do it again, and hasn't. We figure he was tortured by a young kid because he is extremely nervous around young boys. We took him to the park and he gets all nervous when kids even walk by. He's adapted just fine here, but it's an example of how even little yap yap dogs can have their moments. Difference is that Cody doesn't have the strength to hurt anyone seriously.

SteveO, something I don't understand:

How in the world would you have not one but 2 pits and you're scared of them? That REALLY makes no sense, no offense. Why would you have a pet, which by definition should be your companion and friend NOT something to be scared of, that you acknowledge is some day gonna "turn on you"???? :thinking: That's not very smart IMO. Especially when the animal CAN truly hurt you or even worse KILL you. :thinking: I truly don't understand how that makes any sense.

lol i hear you

wait until gbrookie71 gets on here, he's a pit breeder and has a web site www.daltonbluepitkennels.com. he has a almost solid black pit the is one of the nicest dogs i have ever seen. i used to be one of the kill them all people but now i think its how they are raised.

Ok first off if you are putting information on here solo on watching the news please dont... The news is whats wrong with pits today. Ok First info that you need to know there are more dog bits from retrivers than any other breed.. Second the most aggressive dog is the taco bell dog & a rocky. Ok about the pit, a pit is the most protective and obidiante dog there is. And will stop at nothing to do what you tell it to do. Thats why you see more pits at weight pulls ets. Because once you train a pit to pull it will break its on legs before it will give up pulling. Also the number one owned dog in the world is a American pit bull terrior it is also the number one breed animal in the world.. That information in mind there is alot of pits in the world almost like 3 times any other dog but any chance the media gets to post up a malling there right on top if it. How about the other 100 of thousands pits out there that lick you to death lol. If a pit bull gets pissed at you it will kill you before it will stop i promise but is that bad or good you decide... I know thats what i want my to do if someone does something to me or my family. Second it is capable of killing you lol... Most dog bites you never hear about because most dogs will bit you and stop, "Saying look i can hurt you leave me alone". A pit gets the chance to bit something its going to finish you off. Its not because its a mean dog only that it doesnt no to give up.. I own 4 pits not one has ever grawled or attempted to bit anyone out of 4 years. But also im not stupied enough to leave my pits with noone or let my damn kids play with them alone. And its not because i think that they will turn on my friends or kids only that i dont want to take the chance of them doing anything out of fear or caution.. I hate hearing about pits biting someone, and in most cases it's to the point that the person dies.. Dont get me wrong that is really bad, and im not trying to make it ok.. But the fact is its not the dogs fault 9 out of 10 times.. Most of the time it will come back to the owner.. First off know who you are buying from. If you buy a pit for 100-300 dollars your getting mixed up breeds. And that can be a screwed up dog that will one day possible bit you. I sale pure 50/50 Blue American pits. 50/50 means they only have two different blood lines. That means i have one full blood female and one full blooded male. And thats not the same as what most of you are thinking. Like my blood lines are WatchDog and Razorsedge. If you have a dog that has all kinds of blood lines then you dont really know how those lines where back in the day. Aggressive,smart,horny,lazy,etc. Most of the time pits are the best dog one can own but you have too train and teach a pit that you are in control.. Not the other way around.
Also did you know that single women own pits more than any other breed, ( my opinion that is not a good idea). Single women get pits to feel safe when alone and yes they are right they will be safe from other people. But most women that have a pit doesnt show any dominace over the dog. There for, one day it ends up showing her that it's the boss leave me alone etc.

But i promise anyone can come around my pits of course with me close by and they will lick you to death, you get pissed at me and they will try to kill you first. And yes there great around kids.

To finish up, i see and hear people everyday talking about how pits are all bad pits are the worse pet etc. They dont have a clue they just watch tv and listen to story's.

i call bullshit, pit bulls are very gentle if raised right, they just are very strong dogs, but you can make a lab be a fuckin killer if you raise it that way

Yes that is very true ive taught my shitz zu to bit like hell. And anyone that comes over it will take your fingers off lol.. In alot of the case on the news the owners trained there pits to be attack dogs or fight dogs. There for the do nothing but kill shit. But the media will never tell you that the owner was a bad person or drug dealer that fought the dogs causing this sweet pitbull to kill hes 10 year old daughter.

im sorry gbrookies pit named tank is a blue pit not a black one.

yeah, and even if the dog is some sort of mix breed the news will say it was a pitbull for shock affect, i love my pitbull, she is very protective, and i cant stand people talking all kind of shit about pitbulls just because of what they hear about in the news, ANY dog can be trained to kill.

Bs years ago a lab took a hunk of my meat right below my rib cage with him after he bit me for no reason. I was playin with a friend of mine at her house, ( it was her dog). And next thing i know it just snaps and bites me on the side. I had to have 10 stiches. And it wasnt the first time id been there. I just did something that day it didnt like. Luckly it wasnt a pit and it just bit me and ran away. Funny thing is they had it for 6 years no problems it bit me they put it down. I was only 15 at the time.

LOL i called him and told him my damn pit wasnt black lol. But he is really dark Blue. I dont on no black pits only blue/blue nose. hehe Thanks bro for correcting that ... They are really nice looking dogs check'm out just click the picture below... Also i have puppies pics up soon.

i had a black lab when i was younger and she bit a kid next door to me in the face and he had to get stitches, i have had my pitbull for going on 3 years now and i have had my nephew and niece around her and all she will do is lick them to death.

Completely agree, pits get bad rep because of news cast. I love pits and I have had every breed, I also love my pit I have now, Its cool laided back and relaxed. Now if you piss him off I feel sorry for you. But my dog plays with my family and I have no problems.

Reps!!! So very true. You can not say that a certain breed is a bad breed. There are just bad dogs.

PITS ARE NOT MEAN BY NATURE THEY ARE PROTECTIVE, I OWN SIX PITBULLS AND NON OF THEM ARE AGGRESIVE THEY ARE PROTECTIVE, ANY DOG CAN BE MEAN IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU TRAIN THEM, I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY BUT THEY ARE NOT AGGRESIVE BY NATURE, ANY DOG CAN BITE SOMEONE, IT IS JUST THEY DONT HAVE THE JAW POWER TO DO AS MUCH AS A PIT CAN

^^^ very true.

I find that hard to believe when they aren't even a recognized breed by the AKC.

but I'm not even gonna argue because the select few of pitbull owners are going to fight until the bitter end.

just like QD said, "Trying to tell the dick-riding pit lovers on here that is like trying to sell a deaf man a sound system for his car. Later, QD."

the akc lists them as staffordshire terrier, i love how everyone who probably never has owned a pit or even known someone who has talks shit about them, if you dont know anything else then what you hear in the news just dont comment.

Agreed:goodjob:

well you and QD can say what you want but i know for fact yall have not done any research on American pit pulls. And no akc doesn't have them listed only because ukc and adba has them. Plus if you would like ill do the research for you and give a list of every animal akc doesn't recognize if you would like trust me there is alot of them. Also ive done every research on APBT and they are the #1 owned and sold Dog. If u and QD would research this you will find what im referring too.

Lets say they are 200 pit bull bits a year out of 200,000 in USA = 1 out of a 1000
and you have 20 bits from a lab a year but only 20,000 of them in usa = 1 out of a 1000

Plus when you actually find some info on pits you will realize the pit bull is categorized in many groups combined the Stafford pit bull, American pit bull, american bull dog etc. Making the bit % higher than it should be. like when they say a rocky had 10% of the dog bites this year. Thats from the Rocky's only. But when it says Pit bulls have had 14 % of the dog bites this year. Thats over 3 or 4 different names not just the APBT that most of you are formality with.


The only thing i will give the media is there has been more deaths from pit bulls then any other breed. deaths not bites. But is that a bad thing or a good thing. What do you want to save your wife or kid from a robber a tacobell dog or a pit bull. My self i beg you to come to my house anytime uninvited.

^^^exactly

I love my pitty he has been the smartest dog I have ever owned and I read somewhere that people actually use labs to fight has anyone else heard that? so there is proof that even a lab can be a aggressive dog if you train it to be. All my pitbull does it give you lots of licks and is very animated he is funny as hell. We keep are pit indoors and I think that helps alot because he gets the attention that he needs I think a pitbull that sits outside and never gets attention is going to be aggressive because it does not get any love. Pitbulls are great company and they want you to show that in return and give them attention.
