“These ‘muslims of the dog world’, (pit bulls), lovers/owners are just little dick”

Really? I own a pit, a smart, lovable very well behaved pit.

He is trained and not allowed to be an alpha. When I was growing up, I had a collie that attacked any dog or cat itsaw, and bit several people.

My grandparents needed a farm dog and never took the time to train and correct his bad behavior. The neighbor shot him.

Pitties are excellent pets, but they aren’t for everyone.

I can top that.

My dad had a Blue Tick _coon hound_ who even scared *me*.

There’s nothing on earth more mellow than a coon hound but this dog was a nightmare.

He was the *only* intact male dog that I ~ever~ saw attack an intact female dog...and he meant to kill her.

That just doesn’t happen in “nature”.

The even worse thing was that my dad was even more freaked out by him than I was and I got stuck tending/feeding this monster.

Since nothing I did ever made any difference in his demeanor, I would have to assume he was suffering from a tick borne disease and literally wasn’t in his right mind.

However, being just a ‘know nothing teen’ at the time, my dad never took my advice to have him checked by a vet to find out *why* his behavior was so aberrant.

The dog was a hunter without equal and passed his hunting abilities on to his offspring but he, himself, was one miserable dog.

Dad sold him after I moved away from home.
