The problem with a pit bull is that it has a jaw structure like a Great White Shark and a pea size brain.
Okay, the pit may act like a "pooddie" cat most of the time. However, if it "flips-out" it can kill three infants and 2 kids in less than a minute. These dogs do not belong in public areas.
Bengal tigers perform on stage and act very docile. However, if they get provoked or flustered they can slaughter 50 people before authorities have time to react. That is why they are not allowed to be domesticated. Pit bulls and Rotts do not belong in public.
If people want to own them they should be charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison if their animal attacks and kills humans. Less time if the human is only injured -- maybe only 15 years!
As usual.. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
What's it like to know nothing about everything?
"Sadly, in hindsight, I believe it behaved just the way she wanted it to."
Uhhh!
It wasn't her dog.
It was the grandmothers.(assuming her mother)
When I say poodle, I am referring to the 95% which are toy and miniature poodles under 25 pounds.
50-100 pound standard poodles are not a common breed at all, even though they are terrific dogs.
White-trash retards, sadistic hillbillies, and urban drug dealers LOVE these dogs because they are so cute and cuddly. [IRONY, SARCASM]
I’ve seen 4 rottweiler child attack stories posted here in the last 2 years. As a toddler “owner”, I think rottweilers should be licensed the same as pets such a lions, assuming they really are statistically more likely to attack than average. And owners should be criminally responsible if they escape or attack.
Good lord have you ever had a standard poodle bite you!!!!! I have they are big enough to do damage. ALL BREEDS BITE!!!! After twenty seven years of working with dogs I've been bit mostly by cocker spaniels. The Rotties don't scare me.
Reminds me of Roy from Sigfield and Roy getting attacked. Roy said after the fact, that a lady with big hair in the front row freaked the tiger out, so the tiger grabbed Roy by the neck and took him backstage to 'safety', almost ripping poor Roy's head off in the process.
The critter may 'mean well', but a 150lb Rottie, a Pit Bull, or a tiger have jaws and teeth capable of doing serious damage.
"After my wife and I were cornered by two for about 15 minutes, I told the owner that from now on I was carrying my gun when in the are and she would do well to keep them confined to her property."
I live a few miles outside town and periodically get someones pets dumped near my house. Rotts will take several well placed .45 Black Talons before they break off of an attack!
Well, that's a responsible attitude.
Yes, that's right...it was my mother's poodle and it behaved just the way my mother wanted it to.
it;s apparent that these dog's do not like children and parents/relatives(grandparents) having them should be charged. This breed is vicious and attack for no reason.
I have trained and bred dogs for over forty years.
Army dogs, police dogs, hunting, tracking, seeing eye, rescue, guide dogs.
I don't have to look up anything.
Breeds used in police and security work top the bite list, for obvious reasons.
After that come Cockers and poodles and other lap dogs for a long way down the list.
Unless they are untrained and mistreated(untrained IS mistreated) Rottweilers are a very reliable and stable breed.
"Good lord have you ever had a standard poodle bite you!!!!"
Yes, but how many stories have you read about a poodle mauling a child (or adult) to death?
HOw was the mother not injured? I would have been all over that dog..
Maybe that's what the problem is - the canine unemployment rate.
It depends on how a dog is raise. My son uesed to have a pit bull that wouldn't hurt a flea. She was that gentle
