I love dogs but this is enough— this breed is deadly and can’t be controlled. What happened with this elderly man and countless mauled and destroyed children cannot be allowed to continue. People aren’t allowed to keep uncaged tigers.
bullcrap...
read my # 10....it is NOT the breed.
I own a border collie.
A Black lab? REALLY?
Meanwhile, I have 2 pits in my dog obedience training class, and they are the best students. Very attentive and smart.
My border collie had part of her ear ripped off from a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. A corgi!
It's not the dog, it's the owner. Bully breeds like pits, dobies, and rotties need consistent and firm leadership in the home. They are not dogs that can be left to lay around the house without exercise or mental stimulation.
My uncle's 6 year old purebred pit bull was born into conformation and regularly places in state shows. He will run alongside me on my bike for miles and it just a big slobberhound.
Pit bulls are predisposed to aggression, but with proper leadership, ownership, discipline, and attention, they are as loyal and well-behaved as any other breed.
Certain kinds of owners should never ever own such dogs. But I do tend to see a problem becoming more and more evident lately...many of the 'shelter dogs' are turning up bully/mixes. It does make me uncomfortable for perhaps unknowing or ill-informed folks may be taking on some of these dogs.
But, many dogs can be just as unpredictable too. There are biters and then there are attackers.
And then there is this: The Dogs are Alright
