Goldens aren’t not necessarly meek.
My 90 pounder kicked the crap out of pit’s twice.
First time left the pit with multiple lacerations on it’s head. He would not stop attacking it until it finally backed down and ran off.
Second time the pit grabbed my goldens cheek and he proceeded to hurl the pit around onto it’s back and grab it by the throat and hold it down. It took about 10 minutes of coaxing before he let go.
Yup. I had a 70 pound male some 40 years ago. He was great around kids and cats, but he had a major dominance problem with other male dogs. Grrrr...
Those were two very exceptional Massengill commercial dogs or weak pits they encountered
And I’ve used Goldens for fowl
Pits are very capable dog killers
A male pit has to be watched with other males..
I’ve owned them..
It’s too much trouble now....
One of my large Rotts tangled with my brindle pit a few years ago
140 pounds versus 85 or so
The pit got the worst punishment ....but it was like Shiloh both sides too battered to call victory
But the issue was this
I could choke out the pit and the Rott would break off and listen to me and go to his spot and quit fighting
The Pit when he came to would hit the Rott again and again even from unconsciousness
Finally I took a big square shovel and hit the pit on top of head once and he collapsed and then when awakening he started to move on the rott again and I let him have a shovel knock once more...this time he collapsed well enough I got the Rott in his box...
When Pit awakened ...I feared well now he’s coming for me...instead he rolled over on his back completely submissive to me licking my hand
I felt awful..I had been brutal to him.
I banged his ass like a man fight
Whole family except my oldest son..who could have helped were there....
Both were bloodied and cut and but none needed hospitalization which is such rip off usually
Now I’m an old man with issues and thought it would kill me too but I survived
I subsequently gave the Pit to my son in law who raises them on his dads farm
You sort of knew where this was headed ....in time and the Rotts are much better smarter family oriented pets...in my view though I think if riled they are better mankillers
Some dogs dispatch pits easy
Kangols
Southern Bulldogs...some calll them Scott American Bulldogs
Probably Cane Corsos or Dogos
But pound for pound pit bulls are tuff as hell
This man who set his dog in people should be charged
