Hey, I’ve tried, and many trainers with better skills than mine have tried. We are not talking about a breed standard here, we are talking about stupid mean and ugly mungrel Pit Bull Terriers, of God Knows what parentage.

You look into their eyes and you see no intelligence or soul or personality, just a psychopath staring back at you.

Untrainable, impossible to socialize, dangerous in every context. Not even suitable for hunting wild pigs because they lack the discipline and are afraid of gunfire. (You want a proper Rhodesian Ridgeback for that task).

And the stupid thing is that they are bred that way, by gangstas.

Naturally, Lurker, if you’ve got the skills you’re welcome to try to train one of these mutts: I think you’d have more fun shooting it between the eyes. It would be a more useful thing to do, all around. They’re a dime-a-dozen down at the city pound, you could take your pick.

I’ll bring the bandages and penicillin to your training sessions tho’, and maybe a shotgun just in case things get out of hand. And, naturally, a digital camera because the footage would be just perfect for YouTube to serve as a warning to others.

You Kiwis need to stop relying on fire-arms for every little thing!

Really! ;)

Yanks? It's been a while since I have heard that one. Love it. I hear "Damn Yankee" all the time because I live in the North East.

I am in 100% agreement with you about Pit Bulls. I was nipped in the nose by a Pit Bull once. The funny thing is the go like me and I was playing with it. Someone behind it surprised it so I guess its natural inclination was to bite its new friend in the face.

That dog was a WELL-TRAINED Pit Bull.

I know. I volunteer at our County pound and have helped to rehabilitate dozens of 'unsalvageable' animals with this lineage.

I've hunted Russian boars and feral pigs with several different breeds. Labs, Coon Hounds, and Blood Hounds to name a few.

I already have. Some are unsalvageable, of course, just like people. But the vast majority just need a firm hand and a bit of love.
