Yes..it is pro pittbulls,yet it sites generalities instead of evidence based research.
It’s not that complex. Pit bulls were bred for dog fights..for that reason alone. Period. NO other breed was bred for this.
You don’t untrain or love the genetics and breeding out of a dog.
That rat bastard should be having beer with Satan, instead.
If you would do some research you would realize they were not bred to fight.
Peer reviewed studies are not evidence based research?
Where did you study animal biology? You have interesting opinions on genetics.
The “restraining device” is a martingale collar, a type of “limited choke collar” that can only close to a certain point.
Used mostly on Sighthounds and other dogs whose owners want to inflict no damage to the dog’s delicate neck structure.
Why does that trigger you?
I received a very, very special present today. Leah from mydogflair.com sent me this beautiful collar.
The card attached reads: "Ray! Congrats on your new home. I saw on FB that your family wanted a rainbow collar for you. :-)
I made this just for you!" Mom wanted me to wear a rainbow so that I'd never be seen as a red collar dog again. Thank you Leah.
I will wear it with pride! (I have to wear my DogTown collar for 2 more weeks, but then I'll post pictures in my new styling threads!)
The current fad of potatoes and legumes has been implicated in the increased incidence of cardiac disease in all breeds.
Dr Jean Dodds, the most esteemed authority of all things canine, casts doubt on that and instead, warns against feeding low taurine meats such as lamb.
Whatever it may be, legumes are not part of a canids normal diet and can be detrimental to overall health.
“Oh no! The wolves have devoured the bean crop again!”, said no one, ever.
No, “pit bulls” [as if there were such a thing] were bred to catch and hold livestock to protect the farmers.
Their jaws [bite force actually much lower than GSDs, Dobes and many other dogs] and skull shape were created to enable the dog to still breathe while its mouth was full of raging bull neck.
I guess you were to lazy to type in pitbullfacts.org
I don’t link this because anyone not willing to type this in themselves just came for a fight and is not interested in facts.
There are numerous studies listed at pitbullfacts.org that are fact not fiction.
*And* the reason they are currently so “popular” has roots in the economy.
If I go looking for a Dobe pup, it’s $500, bottom price, and more usually, well over $1500 and up.
However, if I wanted a “pit bull”, I can go get one for $50, sometimes free.
People often get them because they’re cheap and plentiful.
#1 causes of aberrant behavior in dogs in hypothyroidism and tick borne disease, both of which have become the norm rather than the exception.
*Any* dog who displays the least odd behavior, especially suddenly, should be taken to the vet and checked for both.
Fact.
You mean that “DogsBite” lying lawyer who makes a fortune chasing ambulances?
Yah.
Unbiased info, there.

The horror....the horror
And what did demon skinwalker buy for *his* dogs?
Well, Rosie, the one permanently mentally damaged girl who had to live out her life at the rescue because of her “gift”, got this:

Yeah, some days here, I feel like Ralph.

Even more often, feel like I’m surrounded by Ralphs.
Ok, I watched it. It was good but I have never been able to stand Jim Carrey.
