Police in Central California say two family dogs killed a 3-day-old baby after her mother left her on the couch and walked away for a few seconds...
The girl’s mother had left the door open because it was hot and she thought the dogs were tied up in the back yard.
The baby died at a hospital shortly after the attack.
the two male dogs, which are believed to be a mix of shar-pei and pit bull are owned by the woman’s brother.

80 or so subsequent years of selective breeding to make them mean fighters has a way of changing a breed.
“I was a Shar Pei owner.
Post #52”
No doubts - Sharpeis are great dogs. No one joins a latino sport bike gang and then buys a Sharpei named “Angel” to commemorate it.
Most of these bully braggarts buy Pitbulls, but some buy Rottweilers too. And then some small sliver buys Dobermans still. Arabic braggart bullys get Kangols and European attack dogs.
And they all say the same thing. “It’s not the dog, it’s the breed” and it’s ridiculous. The breed is synonomous with violent criminals.
Stereotypes don’t make themselves. But yeah, Sharpeis are bred to be fighting dogs, and other dogs as well. Bulldogs. Yet we all know that these aren’t the popular choice because they aren’t unhinged monsters.
I carry large caliber because of dogs. I don’t do bounty hunting anymore because of dogs. And it’s always pitbulls that are the issue.
I don’t bounty hunt anymore because they surround themselves with pitbulls, and I dont’ work on people’s computers at home because they all own chiuahahas. And all Chiuahahas are the damned same.
Best plan of defense: Peddle faster.
That’s comforting to know...
Shoot the dogs; hang the owners.
Just like peaceful muslims are peaceful -- until they just up and kill somebody.
No kidding...
I Never trust the owners of such dogs.
For one thing, considering all of the wonderful breeds available why a Pitt Bull?
I know why...
lol Yeah I don’t like Chihuahuas either. Crazy little suckers.
Full-auto Glock.
I was cycling the other day and ended up in a cul de sac. A man was mowing his lawn and his rather large boxer charged me. Can happily say you were right and he was harmless. The owner just glanced over his shoulder and kept mowing.
I try to avoid riding through too many closed-in neighborhoods but it’s impossible here. Found a different route to avoid this one tiny monster pooch who gave chase every time I passed it’s house.
Lol, that’s practical.
i have feeling that the pit bull owning uncle of the THREE DAY OLD BABY had the same attitude as you.
Good luck man, let’s hope that your sweetie pie doesn’t end up destroying your life while maiming or taking anothers...
I’m a dog lover, but I never trust anyone who tells me how gentle and sweet their dogs are, no matter what the breed.
Too many people are irresponsible with their dogs. They do not respect the potential that all dogs have to do harm.
Anyone who insists their pittie wouldn’t hurt a flea is irresponsible. I’ve had big dogs and small dogs, all highly trained and lovingly raised, and I would never be so foolish as to say they were guaranteed harmless.
Were they “Teen” dogs?
I think you may have that backwards.
.380 with a laser sight.
Like Chows, they are, shall we say, different.
Every pit bull I've ever encountered or known has caused no problems whatsoever.
They are an extremely popular breed nowadays, and that alone, I'm sure, has led to an increase in reported incidents.
That's all I have to say. Let the knee-jerk anti-pit bull hysteria continue...
Pure bred Staffies should not be lumped with pit bulls. Pits are crosses of various “bully” breeds. Way too many of them are carelessly bred for fighting and fierceness. I would not want one but a good Staffie is a wonderful dog. Too many people can’t identify breeds. We had to change home insurance because the stupid agent thought our Black Mouth Cur and uncropped Great Dane were pits.
