I think the pit bull haters here fear protection class dogs or guard type dogs.
Dogs for them are Eukanaba commercials with Golden Retrievers dashing through a meadow with freshly shampooed locks glowing in the sunlight chasing a frisbee as the family unloads the mini van for a picnic on a checkercloth spread under a big red oak...kids playing...dog smiling...and so forth
we are not all like that....
I have never owned anything but guard or gun dogs...I do like French bulldogs though
and I have had guard dogs serve me and mine well just as a firearm would have in the same instance except a firearm doesn’t wake up and attack when intruder breaks in
it’s an instinct thing...I use a CPAP for my apnea...I wake up easy but can’t hear as well in my fairly rambling rural home..but my bulldog will hear it...or at least that is the idea...lol
right now he is still cage at night till he gets his poopie straight
i have a woman and little kids in my home...I want them protected
I suspect that's the very same reason tyrants (and muslims) would love nothing more than to see them banned altogether.
I totally agree!
We live in the middle of San Antonio, and I wonder sometimes how many break-ins my dog has deterred, just by existing here. My Mom came to visit us awhile back, and there was no one home when she arrived. She told me that Swiper(the pit-mix) stood up in the window, staring at her, growling ever so slightly. He didn’t go ‘psycho-dog’ on her, didn’t bark, didn’t try to break through the window, he just stood there.
She waited to come inside until my husband got here, and then the dog was fine with her.
I appreciate that quality in a dog, and I suspect some of these people would also, if they lived in a similar situation.
