easy for you as a chick to laud cutting testicles off...lol...scary...why do it to a dog that doesn't roam?

i ain't keen on it

folks want that then they should buy a Lab and not a Pit or Alsation or Cane Corso etc

Black drug dealers only appropriated Pitbulls as bling the past 10-20 years or so ago...that really amped up Pitbull negativity....when I was a kid...Bull Connor images had soured most black folks on scary dogs..

I sure don't blame the dog because of how they treat them. I know folks with Pitbulls who care for them nicely...but like any bully breed...they have to be handled right..they just aren't for the Yorkie crowd.

Dog fighting is not uncommon in TN and KY...mostly black crack dealers versus each other or the occasional white country pot grower who culturally has a longer connection to Pits.

I grew up around them...never worried about them much till they started being a nuisance around the hood.

People need to think if they want a guard dog, a sporting dog or gun dog, or a companion or a lapdog.

If they don't want to have to deal with much then get a little dog or a cat.

I'm 53...I would not advise an American Bulldog for anyone over 70 unless they were very fit...and I would advise a bitchdog. Bullies with cajones are a pretty danged powerful...like gargoyles..

I would recommend a trained Dobie or Shepherd to an elderly person.

Fact is...a glaring fact...any big guard breed male...if inclined..can kill it's master unless it's Brock Lesnar...and maybe even then...you have to fool them into not knowing this..lol...it's just how it is

btw...Brock Lesnar

First, you don’t know me, apparently, so stop lecturing me, I wasn’t lecturing you. I was simply giving you the short version of what I was talking about in this thread.

Second, I’ve owned a pit, back in the 80s before they became the dog of choice for thugs. She was a great dog and was fine around my kids.

Third, dogs are not people and if you neuter them, they don’t know the difference. No one is talking about cutting YOUR testicles off, that’s between you and your female companion. (Men are so weird about that, I never see a woman get in a snit about spaying a bitch!) I don’t care if you neuter your dog or not, if you don’t let him roam, but in these dog bite cases more times than not it’s an unneutered male. BTW of the few male dogs I’ve had, I’ve kept them intact, and I’ve not had an issue with them, but like you, I don’t let them run loose, and like you I know what I’m doing.

Lots of people shouldn’t have any dog of any type anyway, since they are unwilling to put any effort into it. They should get some sort of virtual pet that doesn’t mind being turned off when it is not interesting anymore. Or a stuffed toy. Oh, and you and I are the same age.
