Repeat after me... Pits aren’t an evil breed...

Has a chihuahua ever done the same kind of thing??

I know a few chihuahuas that would....if they could. :)

[ken21]

nope.

but if you say anything bad about pits, you’ll get bitten.

Also: “There are no bad dogs, just dead owners.”

Something like that . . .

If you count attacks/bites, chihuahuas are very bad. Statistically, the worst biters are chow-chows.

What this looks like is bad pack power structure, with the wife not carrying enough authority.

But the only one we hear about is the pit bull. So strange...

If Chihuahuas were 70-90 pounds the nation would be littered with the dead remains of human victims...can you imagine those big assed eyes and that snarling nervous crap if built like a Pit or ABD or Cane Corso...man...that would scare even me...and I am very aware of serious dogs for half a century and counting

bad analogy

try Maltese...or some relaxed sweet lap breed

btw...Rotts kill more...get rid of them too right?

oddly enough I have a 5 month old white Pit in my pen right now I am caring for...I’m alive so far..it’s not my dog..he’s cool to other dogs and people...my ABD bitch will kill anything mammal but loves people..she would welcome Squeaky Fromme in the house at 2AM...so weird

but there is no question...big dogs who can hurt or kill people have to be watched

we have always had them around and they have always hurt folks...we just know it immediately now and Pits have become the dog of choice for bad people ...the sorts who riot in England

but any big fighting or guard breed can bite and can harm or kill

it’s risky with any of them...you have to be watchful..and I have had to seek new homes for dogs that became a danger...to my kids or the local environment...homes that were more remote and no kids

something about kids ...all that racket...can make dogs act weird...they view kids as lower in the pack...and if it’s a big dog...you can have a problem..what would be a check bite to another dog is an emergency room trip for a 9 year old

My best guards have been Dobies, Rotts and Standard ABD...all male all uncut...but the male ABD got too rowdy and would only listen to me and mom...that is another issue...big males only listen to one alpha

folks who don’t want to tend to these critters proper ought not have them...like children

Norm MacDonald said that a wiener dog ( dachshund ) could rip your throat out but you would have to be laying on the floor and it might take him several months.
