I saw a pit bull bite through steel belted radial tires on a car one time. Some people say it's the way the dogs are trained not the breed itself, but these dogs scare the heck out me. I wouldn't have one around kids.
Only dog I ever shot was part pit bull, and unpredictable as hell.
Me too. A man had one outside the 7-11 near me a few weeks back, very friendly-looking, letting people pet him. Beautiful coloring - almost blue. The man with her invited her to pet him, but my daughter wouldn't go near it, and she LOVES dogs. I picked her up instead and we admired the dog from afar. :)
They should. A breed named "PIT BULL" should be a warning sign, not a status symbol. Some people know how to handle dogs, most don't. I've owned and handled dogs, from Shepherds to Kangals, I don't have the patience nor ability to correctly raise pit bulls.
I'm sure Turquoise Robinson (Police took her into custody on unrelated charges) has even less dog training talents than myself......
I think it is built into the breed. They attack on reflex. Sort of like the tiger that suddenly turned on --was it Roy?
