Read about the documented deaths attributed to pit bulls here. Pit bulls kill more people than all other breeds combined.
http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities.php

Pit bulls strip arms and legs off their victims, they rip faces off or detatch jaws. These are the butchers of the dog world - they dismantle people. Domesticated dogs tend to bite and release in fear or aggression. PIt bulls tend to bite, hold, and thrash to detach flesh. THere’s flat out no comparison between pits and suitably domesticated household pets. Pits kill more often and maim more often compared with every other type of dog.
“In the 11-year period of 2005 through 2015, canines killed 360 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 64% (232) of these deaths. Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 76% of the total recorded deaths.”

There’s a bitch pit bull that lives next door to me. At first it scared me, but it seems she is a pussycat.

"Seems" is the operative word in your post. Don't ever let your guard down around her. Pits can flip like a light switch.

...just another good reason to cc a silenced subsonic .22 automatic.

.22 seems a might light for the task you're contemplating, if you ask me. I'd go 9mm at minimum for that.

Automatic?

Pit bulls are not inherently bad. My experience with them has been nothing but positive.

I wish I could say the same. Alas, I cannot.

An unleashed black labrador retreiver attacked my leashed American bulldog while we were walking in the street. Only a couple puncture wounds but it was going for his throat.
I told the owner I would shoot it if it came near us again. Anyone who shoots my dog had better shoot me too.

I think that afghan hounds are the dumbest dog breed on earth. We knew a breeder once, even she said they were lacking in the smarts department. Groomed for show they are pretty though.

Very light indeed. All the more reason for lots of practice. But, a rim fire pistol ends up almost silent. But, of course, any subsonic round that will still operate the recoil mechanism is gonna do the job.

semi.

I think Afghans are so dumb due to the first cousin marriage that they’ve practiced over there for thousands of years.

Afghan hounds are beautiful and majestic dogs. I'll agree about their smarts, or lack of them. They are a sight to behold though.. difficult to 'walk' because they walk you. LOL

This one looks exactly like the one I used to 'dog sit'. She was a sweet dog. The dog I currently own is named after her!:

That is a pretty dog. We have Cavaliers, who are smart they just pretend to be dumb. LOL
