Yeah or Nay ?

I see tons of stories weekly about how they kill childrens, and recently how a pack slaughtered 40 goats ...

You always hear the owners rushing to their defense on how sweet the animal is, but the killing stories keep coming. I suppose there will be one next month, and the month after that ...

This breed just boggles my mind ... From why, and ... why ?

I heard a pack of zombie vampire pitbulls killed 5000 puppies at an animal shelter..........it was a smorgas board holocaust.

Had one in my early 20's. Great dog, used to ride around in the truck with me and slobber all over the dash.

One day, no warning, it flipped a switch and attacked a friends dog. Had to put her down the same day.

I miss that dog (before the flip) Not worth the risk IMO.

I grew up around them them my whole life. I cant say a bad thing about them. But speaking from the point of view as a professional military working dog handler/trainer, its all about how you raise and train them. Natural instinct or not, it still all falls on the owner as to the upbringing of these animals.

Any dog can "flip". Dogs are no different than people, not all of them get along with each other.

Many of the examples listed in regards to a pitbul attacking a person or livestock, is most likeley out of desparation. The breed as a whole really is not a bad dog. There are more cases of lab bites each year than pitbul bites.

Agreed, but, from what I understood when a pit gets that taste of blood it's a done deal. No bringing them back. Don't think that applies to most other breeds. But I'm not a vet and gave up on the pits after the first one.

We had small kids then so that had a huge factor.

Maybe they are great dogs before they "whig out". I don't know.

What I do know is that once they "whig out", it is virtually impossible to overcome their superior jaw strength and genetic clamp-down "switch". Even if their bites are infrequent, they are much, much, much more severe than other typical dog-bites.

My perspective: Pit Bull dangerousness = risk of bite x severity of bite = a dog which is very dangerous

I recently read a pit bull support thread stating in the 70's the hated breed was the German Shepard ... In the 80's it was the Doberman Pincher ..Now it's the Pit Bull ...

I have to wonder, given all the cases of owners saying how sweet Pits' are, to the shear number of reports of death from Pits, at what the true story is . . . (?)

I know a few bros & sisters have them and I'm sure they are good owners but I won't own one myself... I've seen one attack.. it was ugly... the owners had kids and inisisted the dog was good... may have been as long as it was tied up... 😟
