First off, dogs are often misidentified. I have seen a lot of mixed breeds called Pits. German Shepards (GS) are more aggressive. The difference is a GS will not always warn you it is about to attack a Pit will.
Pits were used in the majority of circus and Vaudville acts years ago. As I said they want to please their masters.
Dog Bite Law Center, lawyers not dog experts. The Dog whisperer Ceasar Milan uses a Pit to train other dogs. Daddy, he was a stray, the most balanced dog you will see on TV. I trust Milan’s judgement on Pits more than the MSM or lawyers.
I trust my own interaction more than hit pieces on Pits. The BIG difference in Pits is that they have the ability to lock their jaws. And as for the Dog Bite Law Center, they do not get into how many dogs had rabies. etc....
We used to think Great Whites hunted people yet there are divers who swim with them, grab onto their fins for a ride, etc...
The Grizzly Man lived with Grizzly’s never had a problem until once, but that one instance was fatal.
There is another Grizzly Guy in Canada that has been living with them for over 40 years, never been attacked.
You can search Google and find that caged or wild deer kill more people than Alligators or bears, or dogs for that matter, they will gore you with their antlers, or jump and hit you with their hooves, the deer ususally die also they simply have a heart attack from the stress.
Believe what you want, free country, but fear of the unknown or fear that has been fed to you only lessens your knowledge of the world.
I have been kicked by horses, thrown, bitten, yet I still ride. A dog, or a horse can sense fear. You are then less powerful to them.
No fear, and the dog does not attack.
“The BIG difference in Pits is that they have the ability to lock their jaws”
No they don’t/ their mandible structure is just like any other dog just much more muscular and with a shorter snout providing bite power unlike any other canine. Google it there are plenty of vets who say their jaws don’t lock. All you have to do to get them to release their death grip is get a breaking stick and pry their mouth open.
Right. But we never see the stories because the MSM is hiding the deers socialist agenda from us.
Right. The two-year old was not as smart as you.
I agree many dogs are mislabeled. I'm the kennel manager for a large, private rescue foundation and am directly responsible for the care and rehab of as many as 75 or more pit bulls daily and 150 or more dogs of various breeds. Over the years I have known well over a thousand pits.
I make decisions every day as to what dogs should be put down and which ones can be benefit from rehab. I do not take my responsibility lightly because I will not adopt out dangerous dogs. Many people in animal rescue become so clouded with good intentions that they fail to look at the situation realistically.
I disagree with Cesar Milan that all dogs can be rehabbed. Some are beyond help and I see it not only in pits but other breeds as well. Being a responsible dog owner is only part of the problem and I do not blame the dogs. The owners need to be held responsible and most don’t understand the potential damage any dog can be capable of. Also, just as some people “just need killing”, so do some dogs.
While we don't just rescue the bully breeds it is unfortunate that they are the majority in most shelters. I must admit that I prefer pits and they are the only breed I have personally owned for the last twenty years.
I used to get on these threads and try to have rational discussions regarding dangerous dogs but I just don't have much time since my job is 24/7, and compounded with the numerous personal attacks, many through freep mail, who has the energy for that.
Check my homepage to identify the pit bull. Also, check out In Hope, An Animal Shelter Story because that is what I live with every day, by choice of course, because somebody has to do it.
