Got into a pretty heated augment with a die hard pitbull owner, I said there naturly aggressive as they where breed to attack the faces and necks of bears and bulls.
She stated that it's the owners that make them mean.
My response was that pitbulls are not the only dog with bad owners, if that was the case pitbulls wouldn't lead the fatally rate by 75%
She then said well it used by fighters that's why.
I said well why do you think there used for fighting? Is it because of there temperament? There is a reason why they are the number one fighting dog.
Yet she refused to even admit that yes they are more aggressive by nature

Pics of this whore? Also, pussy shots if you have them. Thanks!

It depends on how they are raised, but it's a breed almost exclusively owned by the lower class. In the end, they were bred for fighting, it's one of their breeds traits. Just like pugs are lovable and family friendly. Certain dogs were bred for certain purposes.
And of course, when they snap (not if), it will be way worse regardless of how well mannered they are otherwise. Denmark and some other countries made a solid decision by banning this breed along with other dangerous dog breeds.

Why did you let this vehement slut speak out of turn and/or have an opinion?

An even more pressing issue is; did he or did he not mount the wench?

this is a touchy subject. i have a lot of dog owner friends who would say you're an asshole. luckily for you i'm not convinced.
seriously, i think it's a mix of both. it really does depend on the individual dog for a variety of reasons. one of the dangers of the breed is simply that a pissed off pit can a do a whole lot more damage than a pissed off yorkie. it doesn't help when everyone who's ever worn a do-rag wants/owns a pit.
i personally don't trust them overall but i know pits that i trust as i would any other dog based on their individual traits.
-
Hopefully you apply the same type of logical thinking towards humans. :D
-
Been around pits my whole life and never seen one flip out and attack someone out of nowhere. Pit bulls are a very popular breed with all kinds of idiots including white trash ghetto trash idiots who just want them to be part of a "oppressed" groups lots of back yard breeding/inbreeding. If you do your homework and get one from a good breeder you shouldn't have an issue.
They were bread to be aggressive to other dogs and animals not human aggressive. Old time breeders didn't want a human aggressive dog. If you're breaking them up in the pit or training them human aggression is not an ideal characteristic. Personally I would be more worried about Rottweilers German Shepard and Dobermans they were bred to be aggressive to humans.
-
They're more dangerous because they are a strong breed...they are no more likely to bite than any other breed.
It is said that Pitbulls are chosen for fighting because they are extremely loyal and only want to please their owners.
It's a shame that so many meat heads choose the breed to feed their egos.
Any powerful dog should have experienced owners...

They may initially might not have been aggressive. But if the humans provides a certain type of environment, is entirely plausible that pitbulls have developed a specific trait that is now being passed down to their offspring. I do not understand why pitbull owners get mad when people say this. Its basic common sense. Parents pass traits to their offspring. If pitbulls are being breeded for violence, then these traits may get passed down to their offspring more than, say, a yorkie. It doesn't mean its the pitbulls faults. It's entirely the humans fault. Hopefully you get enough kind owners to breed this trait out of them. On the other hand, a pitbull can have an aggressive trait, but if provided love from the right environment, that trait may never become manifested (similar in humans).

I don't understand what you mean.
They may never have been bred to be aggressive toward humans, but they still possess an overall aggressive trait (if passed down to their offspring). I don't think the aggressive trait would literally distinguish between humans and other animals.

Most dangerous breed would have to be those Russian bear-dogs, I don't remember the breed name. Those things are insane! I'll try and find a video of these things, they go batshit crazy as soon as they see someone walk by them.
Edit: I think they're called Caucasian ovcharka

Had like 5-6 family dogs that were Pitts. They were the funniest most athletic kindest gentlest. They followed my mom around and looked out for her. Great with kids. The perfect dog. That's why owners get offended.

How did you read about that since its an impossibility due to the Hyena not even being in the same species at all.

you are wrong on that part. Its a big difference btw having a dogaggresive dog and a humanaggressive dog.
i have known lots of dogs that hated other dogs and was aggressive to them but not one of them would hurt a human (of the dogs i known)
-

Well, I may be wrong. However, many of these dogs who are bred to be aggressive toward other dogs are probably treated like shit by their human owners. So, it would be no surprise if they were aggressive toward humans.
But I do not know the specific research about how a trait would manifest differently toward specific groups of species. I do not even know if there is research out there like that.
-
it's a breed bred to guard and fight. ofcourse you're right.
I had a gf with a rottweiler(white trash fuckhead) nice dog but yeah don't want to make it upset. Stole his toy for fun once.. shouldn't have. All I can say is I'm glad it didnt bite my face off.

The problem is that the margin of error with a Pitbull is so much smaller than with other breeds. Pitbulls can injure someone so throughly in such a short period of time. This is largely because of their truly phenomenal bite strength. It has been cited that Chihuahuas are a more aggressive breed than Pitbulls. This may be true, but a Chihuahua can't crush a windpipe in 10 seconds of anger.
Incidentally this can be true for people as well. How many times have we heard of a weight trainer in a barroom, suddenly finding themselves looking down at the floor at someone they have just injured. They are thinking, "How can this be? I just lightly brushed this insect away!"

i thought they are related to weasels
-
Something like 99% of all dogs have no real fight drive or nerve and will only bite you out of fear so I wouldn't worry about it too much
Pits are awesome , most of their owners are not
-
Pitbulls are the hebrews of the dog world.
"Oh its not all them", "how they were raised" "mine never did anything bad" etc etc...
Mongrels.
-
It depends on how they are raised, sadly, most owners are douches, thugs and bodybuilders with shit for brains ....
In other words, Pitbulls can leave permanent damage on you EASILY and should be banned from this fucked up society .
WoooSSHHHHHHHHHH

Woman Killed By Pit Bulls She
Raised From Puppies
By Ruth Rendon
c. 2002 Houston Chronicle
7-19-2
SPLENDORA -- A 52-year-old woman who raised pit bull terriers was killed after being mauled by four of them she had raised from puppies, the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Wednesday.
Bernard Lee Carter returned from work about 7 p.m. Tuesday to find the dogs standing over Dorothy Carter, his wife of six years. She was face down in an enclosed back porch, Splendora police Sgt. Mark Seals said.
ChronicleAn outside shot of the Carter's home in Splendora."There were a lot of bites all over her," Seals said of the bloody scene. "It's probably the worst I've seen."
Carter was pronounced dead at the scene by Cynthia McMillan, Montgomery County Precinct 4 justice of the peace.
A preliminary report late Wednesday from the Harris County Medical Examiner's office said Carter died of dog bites. Earlier,officials speculated she might have died as a result of a seizure before being attacked.
But Seals said the medical examiner's office reported no evidence that Carter had suffered a seizure before the attack.
As a result, Seals said he would ask McMillan for an order to destroy the dogs. McMillan had ordered the dogs impounded. She said a veterinarian had given them medication to empty their stomachs.
"It's so gross I can't tell you," McMillan said of the incident, which occurred at the Carter home on Shadow Briar Lane in theDeerbrook subdivision.
Carter was severely disfigured and had deep wounds to her arms and legs, Seals said.
Officers at the Montgomery County Animal Control, where the dogs are being kept, said the animals -- two of them males -- weighbetween 45 and 100 pounds.
Her husband said they range in age from 3 1/2 years to 9 months.
The youngest dog, Bud, was Dorothy Carter's lap dog, her husband said.
Carter, 50, a mechanic, said the dogs were his wife's protectors. When she recently suffered a seizure in bed, he said, the dogstried to get her up by pulling on her hair.
"They always protected her. They were probably trying to get her to get up," a teary-eyed Carter said while sitting in the livingroom of his home. "In my mind that's what happened."
He suspects his wife had a seizure in the morning and fell. She was still wearing her morning coat when he found her, he said.
Carter said when he left for work at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, his wife was up. He said if she didn't take her medication early, she wouldtend to forget. Her seizures, he said, had become more severe recently, causing her to fall and hit her head several times.
Although pit bull terriers are perceived as vicious, Carter said his four dogs had never exhibited aggression towardhim or his wife.
"They've never bitten anybody. They've never harmed any other animal. I don't know what happened," he said. He described the pets asindoor dogs that were prone to sleeping on couches.
"They wouldn't hurt anybody," he said.
Police have no history of calls to the residence, located on about two acres on a dead-end street, related to animals, Seals said.The one time police went to the home was when Dorothy Carter thought someone was trying to break in, he said.
Carter said the dogs would bark if anyone walked onto their property, enclosed by a 400-foot chain-link fence. An electric fence ontop of that is designed to keep the dogs in and stray animals out, he said.
The dogs had not left the property in more than a year, except when the couple would take the oldest male, Jack, for a ride in thecar, he said.
Carter described Jack as "fat and always just laid around."
Carter said he and his wife had been raising pit bulls for about 3 1/2 years and would sell them.
"Nobody has ever had any problems with them," he said. "We've never had any problems with them."
Neighbor Christie Hantelman, who lives across the street, said the dogs were not aggressive. Nevertheless, she would not go to thehome because of the animals.
"I thought she had a seizure and had died from that. I was shocked the dogs had done that," she said.
Carter is contemplating how to pay for his wife's funeral expenses. His wife, he said, wanted to be cremated and her ashes spread ontheir property.
"I had so many plans for me and her," he said, including improvements to their home, which they had lived in six years. Their planswere sidetracked when she lost her job with an auto parts store. That meant not only the loss of income but also the loss of thecouple's medical insurance.
The couple met while Dorothy Carter was delivering parts to the auto mechanic shop where Bernard Carter worked.
He said they had kept to themselves of late, especially since her health had started failing.
"We really didn't get out much. We mainly stayed at home and would work in the yard," said Carter, apologizing for the overgrowngrass. A broken lawn mower, he said, had not been repaired or replaced.
"She loved this place. She picked out the house," he said of the couple's manufactured home. "She picked out the lot. We just wantedto live here and have a happy life."

This is what I'm talking about everyone else involved see it pretty clear that the dogs killed her. Yet the husband is defending the pits.
From my understanding they can be great dogs for years and all it takes is that one time you move to fast or do something that sets off their hair trigger and that's all it takes.
More then likely what happened here one attacked and being pack animals they all jump in

Carter said the dogs were his wife's protectors.
Hahahahha, someone should have mentioned that to the dogs.

Got into a pretty heated augment with a die hard pitbull owner, I said there naturly aggressive as they where breed to attack the faces and necks of bears and bulls.
She stated that it's the owners that make them mean.
My response was that pitbulls are not the only dog with bad owners, if that was the case pitbulls wouldn't lead the fatally rate by 75%
She then said well it used by fighters that's why.
I said well why do you think there used for fighting? Is it because of there temperament? There is a reason why they are the number one fighting dog.
Yet she refused to even admit that yes they are more aggressive by nature
Are pitbulls p4p the best fighting dogs? yes..
But noteworthy is that the breed was never intended to be a public dog, the same goes with Neapolitan Mastiff, Tosa Inu and other big Mastiff breeds.
John P. Colby(yr. 1889) was one of the first if not the first to peddle the american pitbull in that time called "Irish fighting bulldog" and other names. Many pitbull enthusiast were against Colby peddling and warned him, yet he ignored and peddled to the public.
However true game pitbulldogs aren't naturally aggressive towards human, that's because when they're fighting in the pit a referee who is stranger to both dogs must feel safe in the small rectangle area="pit". As well the handlers of the dogs must feel safe when separating the dogs. In many incidents the handler weren't even the owners of the dogs.
Now to the modern era pitbulls, most pitbull owned by the public aren't even pure in the sense to keep it real purpose. Most public pitbulls today are mongrels/mutts and many early peddlers 70's-90's outbreed with american bulldogs, rottweilers, etc.. and peddled to the public as pure American Pitbulls(faked pedigree). Peddlers also didn't carefully breed these dogs, many man-biting pitbulls where breed and it man-biting traits stayed often in the puppies. All for the sake of money
What happens when breeding with other breeds is that aggressive traits towards human begins to appear, old school pitbulls owners always breed their dog to be as loyal/submissive to it's master.
Stupid dog owners will never understand that, in fact many pitbull owners are proud that their dog is the baddest in the block!
My verdict: The Pitbulldog should never be allowed to the public, too many stupid/irresponsible/smallDicked/insecure people.
I think that the pitbull should be abolished, it's serves no purpose to anyone to have a fighting dog anyway.

Allow me to end this thread here with logic.
1. Pits have incredibily thick necks and muscles which can do damage to delicate animals like humans
2. That is why you hear about the attacks as they can be very brutal, and media loves a villian (pits are easy villans).
3. People make bad dogs. End of story
4. Google "lab attacks kid" and scroll thru the countless articles...
5. They are no more aggressive towards people than any other dog unless owned by shit heads who beat, or torture their animals.
6. Love how eager you guys call out media outlets when they say "BBer attacks girlfriend". The media does the same thing with dogs. Say its a pitbull and you immediately get emotional and judgemental reaction from the niave dumbies who watch TV. The dog could be 1/4 pitt and media will call it a pit for ratings.

Think of all the protein one can consume off of a doggy. :)

but he won't learn nothing ;D

But facts are facts man, 66 deaths per year for pitbulls, 3 for labs they lead the fatality rate by 75%. You think that people are scared of these dogs just cuz?
It's common sense a animal that p4p is the most dangerous dog out there and the numbers prove that.
A 70lb lab is more then capable of killing me if it wanted to. But the numbers are not there.
The fact that a pit is more capable of being a killer is exactly my point. There for they are a extremely dangerous dog
-
I had a pit/lab mix when I lived in FL. I used to go to the local dog park and noticed that all the scary looking pits there there had gangsta or wigger owners. I always carried a gun at the dog park because Florida. I made up my mind that if a pit is attacking, my second round is going into the owner.

Yah i agree with you for the most part. Lots of nice pits and pit owners though. Where i live, the pound and shelter is full of them, so for people like me who laugh at people paying for dogs, go there to adopt them. 99 percent are amazing dogs

I just picked up a dog from the pound 2 weeks and man it was terrible over 500 dogs and a lot of pits. Funny story I thought the dog I got might have been plott hound/ pit mixed. The vet thinks it a boxer/plott mix

Nice man, fellow doggy dad here. Glad you saved its life. The pound is depressing but that one dog u got opened up a spot for another dog needing a home so a dog adopted saves 2 dogs, not 1.

I have just spent 20 years volunteering at an animal shelter. Over the years, we have had dozens of pits, and my conclusion is that they are wonderful dogs. I would adopt one in a minute.
They are smart and very affectionate, they will jump in your lap and lick your face off with love.
The downside of them is that they are very strong, they have a wider bite than other dogs, and they are extremely loyal to their owners. Hence if they sense their owner is slightly threatened, they'll intercede. Dogs don't do very well distinguishing between friend and foe.
The meanest breed I have seen in all these years are Chows. Those dogs can be real motherfuckers.
It breaks my heart when I see these gangsta kids with a pit and have a spike collar on it. The kids are trying to act tough, think having a pit is going to make them look tough, and the pit is just happily sauntering along, waiting to be petted. And loved.

Sweet dogs, really. .mine is a grey, she turned 4 today.

It's not that they're more likely to attack, it's the fact that when and if they do attack due to their make up they have a much more likely chance of causing great bodily harm and or death, not sure why that would even be a debatable topic as anyone with a ounce of common sense should be able to come to that conclusion. I'm a big animal advocate myself but don't allow my like for any certain breed or animal to make me delusional.

How surprising, teen trash parents with a pitbull. How long until this dog bites the kid in half?

Can pitbulls be dangerous? Yes
Are they dangerous under normal conditions? No
Pitbulls by themselves are not dangerous, but can be dangerous. And do indeed possess some physical and genetic traits that make them more dangerous. But all things considered, it's up to the owner to keep their dog out of unwanted circumstances where they may lash out. Knowing full well that with a powerful dog such as a pitbull comes risks and responsibilities.
In the end, no dog is more dangerous than their owner allows them to be. If the owner knows the dog, has control over the dog, and knows how to handle the dog, there are no issues.
Pitbulls are not for everyone.

Yes, one does. If they happen to be walking one in their suit prior to work. Normally people don't wear suits or their dress from work while walking a dog. But, on rare occasions, you may see that.

pits are so over rated as a bad ass breed, just stop
caucasian shepherd ftw!

I just picked up a dog from the pound 2 weeks and man it was terrible over 500 dogs and a lot of pits. Funny story I thought the dog I got might have been plott hound/ pit mixed. The vet thinks it a boxer/plott mix
That dog is 100% American Pit Bull Terrier and you will love it!
Some of the best books about the breed were written by Richard Stratton.

You'll still be hard pressed finding well educated people (regardless of race) owning this type of breed. Pitbulls and other breeds of fighting dog are strongly correlated with thugs.

Dumbest shit ive ever heard. These "thugs" grow tired of their dog for whatever reason, then pawn off the responsibility to "white collar" types like me. These shelters in my area are full of pits who need loving homes after their shit fucking "owners" give them up. They are amazing dogs (just like ANY dog). People who buy animals from pet stores or breeders are scum just like those who buy dogs and then give them to a shelter when they realize its an inconveience. My neighborhood is full of well off and well meaning pit owners who are doing their part by saving / adopting animals that need permanent loving homes

NO!
Any dog can be dangerous. I believe a" East German Shepard "is the most dangerous one.

dont tell me you have a second cousin that knows someone that has a pit thats great with kids and toy poodles ::)

The more important question is what should we ban first: Guns or pitbulls?

The same could be said about Cocker Spaniels. The breed seems to have issues with Rage Syndrome. Even though RS does occur in other breeds, it seems to be more prevalent in English Cocker Spaniels

the problem with this thinking, is that you have too many backyard breeders who try and make a profit. And some of these breeders do have connections to underground dogfighting.
And, you as LE can make the connection with dogfighting, guns, and drugs.
There are reputable pit bull breeders, but many are as shady as a large Oak tree.

Here in Norway, almost no well-educated person will own a Pitbull or similar dog. It is a dog for people on welfare, criminals etc. It makes sense- why would anyone want a dog that scares people? Thus, it is almost impossible to disentangle the owner influence from genetic traits in the dog. There are some studies on dog agression that are interesting- here is one: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168159108001147

damage is damage...
Before pit bulls were all the rage, it was Rotts. Before that Dobermans and German Shepards...
Gee, three German breeds. The Rott is a big dog, a Molosser breed, just like the pit bull. And could and did inflict a lot of damage. The German Shepard and Doberman, due to their size and shape of jaws, have more scissor like bites...but still inflict damage.
The problem is, while the pit bull was bred to be a fighting dog, it's not some mythical killing machine. It was created by man, so it is flawed, as all dogs are.
If you cut down on the backyard breeders, have the AKC help establish certain lines, and breed standards (which means that the breed is recognized by the AKC), the issues that arise may be cut down.

I'm talking dogs in general. I'm a tad biased about Pit Bulls. When I read articles where a man comes home to find his wife torn apart from the pit bulls they raised as puppies with no inclination there were mistreated or trained to fight it causes me concern. It's not an isolated incident. I think there are pit bulls that are out there that are harmless, but when things go bad with a pit, they go really really bad so I personally wouldn't take that chance. I fully admit my position is likely biased based on my experiences with them and the news I've watched over the years.

People are scared of the reputation. And the idiots that you mentioned get the dogs want to be associated with the reputation. If the dog didn't exist, then it would Rotts, English Staffy, Dobermans, etc.
Yet, would you say the same about the English Staffy, English Bull Terrier?
Or, let's go into how the bulldog came into being?
And by the way, if a person was well educated, then they would see that their own ignorance clouds their own judgement.
You should say, "people who are scared of being judged by picking a dog with such a reputation do not own pit bulls".

Both statements can be correct- there is no incompatibility. But you hint at some sort of social construction in the perception of dog breed "dangerousness". I guess you are right to some degree, but what is the origin of the perception? Dog historians should chime in! :)

Here is where these "tear jerker" stories fail to mention. Have you seen the way people raise their children today? And their dogs? I've seen pits, Dobermans, retrievers, water dogs, etc, whose owners are better off with mice or a pet rock. And then when they have kids, they raise their kids in a similar way. The dogs are out of control or are allowed to buck authority, and so are children.
As I said before, before it was Rotts and Dobermans, and before that German Shepards. Those were the "scary breeds".
Pitbulls didn't get their "Jaws" status until the late 80s. And then all these articles were on them. And because they are "bad dogs", bad people wanted to own them.
No dog is harmless. That is the problem with humans, we think that since we breed cutesy dogs, that they are harmless. We believe that since we have raised a dog from a puppy that they are harmless. Many dogs have mental issues---some due to genetics, due to their breeding. Dogs are mutants, creates by man not nature. And as such, they will have problems and issues that would have been sorted out by nature.

English Staffys were breed for the same reason. And so were Bull Terriers. Bull Terriers were not as good at it. One could say that the English Staffy is the progenitor of the American Pit Bull. Same brick like head, same thick neck, eyes, mouth, muscular body. Except, the American is slightly scaled up.
It could be said that without the English Staffy, there would be no American version.
I don't think the Brits outlaw their own dog breeds (that I have mentioned), which were breed to be fighting dogs, but the American breed has been banned. Think about that for a moment. Does that even make sense?

Phenotypically, you have pits that look just like English Staffys.
As as matter of fact, since Pits are banned in the UK, shady folks try and get their fighting pits registered as English Staffys.
Since pits are a working breed, many a breeder doesn't adhere much to a breed standard, that the UKC has set. The AKC doesn't recognize the Pit Bull as a breed, but recognizes the Americsn Staffy as a breed. The American Staffy is a show breed, and adheres more to a breed standard.
Many a pit bull looks like a hound dog, but classic Pit Bull look, adheres more to the look of the English Staffy.
Not the same dog, but one can say that the English Staffy is the progenitor in terms of genetics and aesthetics.

Quote form ADBA web site. 7/15/2013
With the announcement that the United Kennel Club (UKC) has now added the American Bully to its list of recognized breeds, effective July 15, 2013, and with their statement “It is undeniable that there are UKC registered American Pit Bull Terriers that more closely meet the American Bully breed standard. APBT owners who would prefer to have their dog(s) registered as American Bullys may request to change their dog's breed designation by using the breed transfer form also located on the UKC website.” and “The American Bully, whose foundation stock is undeniably the American Pit Bull Terrier, was also developed by blending in stock from other bull breeds.” they have basically admitted that their American Pit Bull Terrier studbook has been compromised.
It is my belief that the the only true American Pit Bull Terriers are those registered by the ADBA.

American Bullys look weird, not agile--front legs too wide apart, and like they have breathing problems. The front half looks too big for the middle and rear. Neck and head too big for the front legs. And with wide stance, they have this image of almost toppling over.
They look like bodybuilders...unathleti c ones.

LOL, ok
if you can find an un-neutered Rottie with schutzhund (bite sport) national champion lineage in a shelter I'll adopt it in a flash but good luck with that.
dogs like mine never end up in the shelter because Hebrews and other poor people cant afford them (and no way am I ever owning a castrated dog, that's the worst possible thing to do to a working animal unless you want to make it insecure, skittish and much more dangerous)

Right, so your the problem we are all talking about. lol what responsible pet owner doesnt neuter his dog? Come on bro, thats why the shelters are full of dogs. I can see allowing it if u never intend to have it off a leash around other animals, but thats what all people "say" they are gonna do. Next thing u know, a dog 3 houses down has 8 pups and 6 of those end up at a shelter once the family "moves" or "it snapped at my kid" or "it pees in my house" or the billion other fake excuses i hear at the shelter when people drop off an animal and pawn the responsibility off on someone else. Its a never ending cycle of stupidity . There are tons of "neutered" maLe dogs that get put down or never adopted at the shelter cuz some douche with a complex doesnt want a dog without balls...dont get me started on how twisted that shit is
Just about as weird and twisted as ordering a certain specific breed for a certain look. Dogs aint fashion accessories, hence why thugs end up with pits in the first place. Its backward logic and is just as bad as a thugs logic for wanting a specific dog. No one is impressed.

Eugene Smith
87-years old | Frederick, MD
Eugene Smith, 87-years old, was fatally attacked by his family pit bull while taking down his Christmas tree. The dog was still viciously attacking him when Frederick County deputies.

Declan Moss, 18-months old, was mauled to death by two family pit bull-mixes.
Malaki Mildward
7-years old | College Springs, IA
Malaki Mildward, 7-years old, was viciously killed by two 8 or 9-month old pit bull-mixes while playing in his yard. There were two adult pit bulls, a male and female, also living at the home, but were inside during the attack.
A review of 82 dog bite cases at a level 1 trauma center where the breed of dog was identified concludes that attacks by pit bulls are associated with higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than are attacks by other breeds of dogs. Bini, John K. MD; Cohn, Stephen M. MD; Acosta, Shirley M. RN, BSN; McFarland, Marilyn J. RN, MS; Muir, Mark T. MD; Michalek, Joel E. PhD; for the TRISAT Clinical Trials Group, Mortality, Mauling, and Maiming by Vicious Dogs, Annals of Surgery (April 2011, Vol. 253, Issue 4, pp. 791–797).
Merritt Clifton, editor of Animal People, has conducted an unusually detailed study of dog bites from 1982 to the present. (Clifton, Dog attack deaths and maimings, U.S. & Canada, September 1982 to November 13, 2006; click here to read it.) The Clifton study show the number of serious canine-inflicted injuries by breed. The author's observations about the breeds and generally how to deal with the dangerous dog problem are enlightening. According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question. Clifton states:
As of May 25, 2013, the USA death count from dogs in 2013 is 14. Of these, 13 people were killed by pit bulls. In recent years, the dogs responsible for the bulk of the homicides are pit bulls and Rottweilers: "Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF (i.e., dog bite related fatalities) reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through1992.
Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through 1992, and Rottweilers were responsible for about halfof human DBRF reported during the 4 years from 1993through 1996.
There is a persistent allegation by pit bull terrier advocates that pit bulls are overrepresented among reported dog attack deaths and maimings because of misidentifications or because “pit bull” is, according to them, a generic term covering several similar types of dog. However, the frequency of pit bull attacks among these worst-in-10,000 cases is so disproportionate that even if half of the attacks in the pit bull category were misattributed, or even if the pit bull category was split three ways, attacks by pit bulls and their closest relatives would still outnumber attacks by any other breed.

As of May 25, 2013, the USA death count from dogs in 2013 is 14. Of these, 13 people were killed by pit bulls. In recent years, the dogs responsible for the bulk of the homicides are pit bulls and Rottweilers: "Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF (i.e., dog bite related fatalities) reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through1992.
Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through 1992, and Rottweilers were responsible for about halfof human DBRF reported during the 4 years from 1993through 1996.
There is a persistent allegation by pit bull terrier advocates that pit bulls are overrepresented among reported dog attack deaths and maimings because of misidentifications or because “pit bull” is, according to them, a generic term covering several similar types of dog. However, the frequency of pit bull attacks among these worst-in-10,000 cases is so disproportionate that even if half of the attacks in the pit bull category were misattributed, or even if the pit bull category was split three ways, attacks by pit bulls and their closest relatives would still outnumber attacks by any other breed.

No question there is somethin goin on with pits. Howver, the one where some husband comes home and finds dogs eating his wife or the guy who taking down his xmas tree, there is something up that doesnt make sense. There had to have been signs, maybe the dog was off, was beaten by the owner...etc. my dogs are well adjusted and I know them...like really know them. They are family members. I just dont buy the "it was totally loving, then one day i came home and it ripped my wifes face off as she slept"...that doesnt add up. Either incredibly niave people or sometthin else. Not sure

But what about the 2 stories above where 2 little children were killed by pitbulls? I doubt these families were treating them badly, unless they had a history of abuse. Who knows. There is enough evidence to suggest that either pitbulls are more aggressive by nature or man really screwed up their genetic makeup by making them more aggressive. Or maybe its both.

Yet if we change the word pitbull with a human race it becomes a socioeconomic problem, right? ::)
Trolling again? Lame

I have two... they won't tear my face off but they will take over my pillow when I get up to go to the bathroom at night...

I think that's it's both.. They are more aggressive so white trash, Mexicans and Hebrews breed them for that reason because their little brain thinks having a mean dog makes them "tougher" I guess.
Humans are the same way. Some are more aggressive then others... Hence Hebrews
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites (per 100,000), and the victim rate 6 times higher (per 100,000). Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks.[33][34][35]

Well, I did read that some states are now making it a felony if your caught dog breeding. I think some states have this law, but others are now catching on. Perhaps that may stop some of the aggression.

I hope it does. You can easily breed more and more aggressive dogs.

Similar to what we have other here, skinny little white fags with shitty crudely drawn tattoos and horizontally striped clothing swaggering down the street with an invisible roll of carpet under each arm and a Staffordshire bull terrier in tow, the dog instantly elevates them to prime Mike Tyson status

Not dog breeding. A felony for dog fighting. I spoke wrong.

It's funny pitbull owners 9 out of 10 are always Hebrews or Mexicans, if they are white its white trailer trash. Hmmmm
and that's exactly why pit bulls are constantly in the news and in an animal shelter
E

Right, so your the problem we are all talking about. lol what responsible pet owner doesnt neuter his dog? Come on bro, thats why the shelters are full of dogs. I can see allowing it if u never intend to have it off a leash around other animals, but thats what all people "say" they are gonna do. Next thing u know, a dog 3 houses down has 8 pups and 6 of those end up at a shelter once the family "moves" or "it snapped at my kid" or "it pees in my house" or the billion other fake excuses i hear at the shelter when people drop off an animal and pawn the responsibility off on someone else. Its a never ending cycle of stupidity . There are tons of "neutered" maLe dogs that get put down or never adopted at the shelter cuz some douche with a complex doesnt want a dog without balls...dont get me started on how twisted that shit is
Just about as weird and twisted as ordering a certain specific breed for a certain look. Dogs aint fashion accessories, hence why thugs end up with pits in the first place. Its backward logic and is just as bad as a thugs logic for wanting a specific dog. No one is impressed.
I really don't know where to begin with all this but there's a reason no police, army or other working dog is neutered.. and they somehow manage not to impregnate the neighbors animals
research what removing a dogs testicles does to it's health and temperament before you condemn another poor animal to a sub par life because of the Human Societies nonsense. Dr Karen Becker is a good place to start.
dogs without testosterone in their bodies can't do this ^

Ok, are u in any of above mentioned professions? Do you work with dogs to hunt bad guys or rescue people?
So I made no points you agree with in my post?
So u just want a dog that bites good (according to your video you posted)? So you buy dogs to be a tool to be used, not as a family member? This sounds oddly like pitbull "thug" owners. I think we have very different ethical and idealogical view points here on this topic.

yeah ::)

I'm hoping my dog will match both his national champion grandfather and great grandfather, but he's a big goofball so we'll see how he does. And while my dog is an absolute sweetheart I like knowing that he wouldn't just bark, piss on the floor or roll on his back if a Hebrew breaks into our house.
going on your other posts I can only imagine your feelings on shock collars or prongs in training.

obvious white trash, that dog needs therapy ::)

Most dog breeds were bred to be used as a tool. Dog breeds like terriers were used as ratters, or getting badgers out. Dogs like retrievers were used to retrieve waterfowl or other animals that were shot. Some dogs were bred to be herders, or watchdogs. It really is only until recently---maybe the 20th century, that dogs were seen as JUST pets and family members. That they were purchased to have as nothing more than companionship. Of course this has ways happened, but it has only been recent where this is the sole motivation.

fuck yeah my puppy is fearless he doesn't give a fuck, like a honeybadger
but he won't learn nothing ;D
when my husky was a puppy i taught her tons of stuff she learned how to sit, run and jump on objects ,go back in her cage and more. she learned to sit on command in less than five minutes. but as she got older she only listens when she wants to. i can yell for her to come but she'll ignore me till i flash a dog treat. by the way huskies were responsible for 6 percent of the deaths by dog in the usa. mine is 8 years old and never sick a day in her life, she contracted Lyme disease but the vet said she recycled her blood and it's gone now.

I have had my pit for 9 years and she never snapped at me or hurt anybody. The dog on the video is fucked up. This dog needs to be put down, plain and simple. It has a defect. Pits by nature want to love on humans. My pit will not stop licking people, babies etc. i give her tons of love, discipline, exercise (4 mile runs at least 4x week). I wonder if this dog has been abused. A fearful dog is the worse.

You let your pit lick babies? Are they your babies or others?
-

1. Dog saw others "assaulting" grandma and wanting to do the same?
2.Dog didn't like grandma and was looking for time when she was vulnerable?
3. Both?
4. Dog is just effed up.
-

Both. She loves the salt on babies feet. My dog is very loving. Again it is all monitored. I would never leave any dog alone with a baby or child. Plus remember my dog is highly trained.

pitbulls are known to be great dogs owned by well educated people with class.

Sadly people with class and educated don't usually get these breeds of dogs
Like I said they are usually owned by black thugs, mexican cholos, or white trailer park trash
The image is cause it makes these owners look tough and badass ::)

They have become popular with all kinds of people now. There has been a big awareness campaign about them. Owners feel they are part of special cause. People love that.
My dad got them because he enjoys capable athletic dogs. He has owned Shepards boxers American bullies and pit bulls. They only get pits and pit mixes now. They have one now who is 50 pit 50 American bully. According to my parents they are the gentlest and most affectionate.
My dad runs five miles a day and bike rides. He loves the companionship of a capable dog. His dad was a Shepard back in the day. They used real tough dogs to keep wolves away. My dad is far from any of those things you listed.

. Our pound is full of unwanted pits. Many people including myself (well off people successful in life) save them by adopting them. They are usually awesome dogs

She apparently sicced the dog on her landlord and his kid. And then on the animal control officer. And then she doesn't want to go to jail. And she didn't do anything to curbed the dog's actions.
I remember that they listed the woman's wounds. I believe she had to have reconstructive surgery on one of her breasts, and of course her hands.

This was my buddy. My parents said he would wait by my door in the morning for me to get up. He would sneak in my room and hop in my bed in the middle of the night. I remember a girl scout came over he got on his belly and crawled over to her to lick her face.
