Exactly.
“Pit bulls - loving and friendly, until they aren’t.”
Any dog that has been accustomed to having all of the
available attention is going to be jealous of any new
arrival that presents competition. - Tragic. Pit bulls are
bred for different purposes than being family “pets”. Is
it mainly for “dog fighting”? - I wouldn’t even trust our
big old mix-breed dog around a baby or child; and she isn’t a pit bull.
Same here. My son and DIL have a sweet chocolate lab, but I don't trust him alone with the babies. I've seen him violently shake his toys and I worry about him perceiving a baby as just another squeak toy.
As to pit bulls, I don't trust them around anyone, including adults, as I knew a woman pit bull owner (one of the "it all depends on how they're raised" crowd) whose "loving" dog attacked her. I think of pit bulls as a bomb waiting to go off - jostle it a little and boom.
We have a cat I would not trust alone with a baby...he’s attacked me! I do not understand the desire to have a pitbull..they LOOK mean.
