“I’d engage you in a debate but I know your type.”

You don't know sh!t about me. And I'm not going to budge based on facts? Yet I give you facts 66% of FATAL dog attacks are from Pit-bulls. That is a FACT. 187 breeds in the USA and 66% of fatal attacks are Pit-bulls. I love dogs. I have three, all rescued. I was a Dog Handler in the Army for several years. And I still don't trust dogs 100%. Everyone has good and dab days, including dogs. The only problem is that when a Pit-bull has a bad day, it could also be a bad day for some human in the vicinity.

So go ahead wise guy, debate me.

Okay; your history does change things and I now know to give you a measure of respect on this subject.

There’s really nothing to debate. Some people think all PB’s are bad and some of us who actually own them know they are full of bear scat.

I will concede they are different and need to be handled/treated different than most other breeds. 99 times out of 100 the problem is the human; not the dog and I mean that a lot of different ways. The human needs to be able to control their PB on a leash if out walking. Some 5 lb little dog that thinks it is 200 lbs and starts pushing for a fight with that PB will lose badly so they can never actually get the chance.

That’s pretty much it. PB’s must have a secure yard they can’t get out of (human problem) and must have someone on the other end of the leash strong enough to handle their strength. (Human problem) I’m amazed at how naturally muscular mine is without even trying or working out. She just stays strong and toned naturally even as a 9 yo.

I would recommend never taking a PB to a dog park. Reason; other dogs will test it and PB are known for being fearless. It doesn’t matter what the other breed is. Best to avoid that entire situation.

When I see some young punk wearing his wife beaters with his homies at a dog park and their PB running loose I see a problem waiting to happen. I would agree PB’s should be banned from dog parks. Not because all PB’s are confrontational, they aren’t, but some are so best just to avoid that for the benefit of all.

I know I can’t convince a single PB hater to change their mind. They have their cement shoes on after all but the facts are quite different than they make them out to be. They love to spew statistics. That’s their only way to prove their point but they missed the entire point to begin with. Nuff said.
