What’s amazing to watch is that here, on Free Republic, there are people who have chosen a dog breed to be the bitch that they are willing to die on. Sorry, every pitbull in the world needs to be put down.
We inherited a pit bull puppy, and unfortunately, I have to agree. He is the smartest dog I've ever seen, can perform MANY tricks, good-looking dog, full of energy, puts on a helluva show with a frisby or tennis ball, and protective as hell when it comes to the family. He's everything you would ever want in a dog. But, for some reason, he will twist off on you like a light switch when he thinks you are doing something threatening. If it weren't for the fact that he's a small pit bull (60 lbs) and I can bulldog him down to the ground, I would have had to put him down long ago. Like others say, he's like a light switch. He can be wagging his tail with his ears back one second, and bite the crap out of you the next. If I had known what he was going to be like when he grew out of puppy stage, I would have ended it then. But, my family loves him. He's seven now, and has chilled out quite a bit. But, as he gets older and becomes cranky, I know the day is going to come when I'm going to have to drag him out the back door and put a bullet in his head. If you are thinking about a pit bull, don't go there. I don't care how docile, or smart, or good looking the parents are. Don't go there.
Hardly amazing when you consider that the country has fallen so far morally and mentally. FR & it’s posters & trolls are just following the trend.
If I had $10 for every article posted here in the last 15 years when a Pitbull kills somebody, I’d have at least enough to support a one year vacation. Yet, idiots defend the dog breed.
