there are THOUSANDS of other stories about dogs biting kids, and they ARENT all pitbulls either, you just dont hear about the story unless its a pitbull.I'm shocked you contributed to a thread that doesn't involve posting your picture, therapy must be having a positive effect.
yet people like BIG DUB try to generalize all pitbulls into the same category. other types of dogs have bitten kids as well. any pet or animal could snap and injure anyone at anytime. you generalizing pitbulls is as bad as people generalizing blacks after some black guy robs a house. "oh, well there ya go...shows ya they should have never let those niggas into this country" stupid generalizations like yours show lack of intelligence.
hey, at least he didn't leave his kids and is tryin to be a father
Here is the real irony.
If he wasn`t such a little bitch about the whole Obama meeting, he would have showed up to the Whitehouse, with his family and this would have NEVER happened.

"I take care of my kids!!"
Wow, what a weird story:Not meeting Obama was the WORST thing he could do. His refusal to meet Obama nearly cost him his sons life. Oh the irony.

In 12 years that dog will be dead, you'll bury it in the backyard for free, then you'll get another one. In 12 years a kid, on the other hand, would be adding shitloads of unnecessary stress to your life and asking for $100K to go to college.Indeed. Kids are a stupid investment and I cannot see any benefit to ever having one.
dogs > kids
Yeah, but pit bulls have been specifically bred to fight. The best, strongest fighters have been bred over and over again until we have dogs who are literally designed to fight, both physically and mentally.
Sure, other dogs bite, but odds are you're not going to lose a limb to a Pomeranian.
Essentially, the domesticity has been bred out of pit bulls to the point where they are closer to wild than, say, a beagle. It's like the woman who lived with the chimp and swore it was domesticated, until it snapped and bit her friend's face off.
There are like 150 breeds of dogs and yet I'll walk through certain neighborhoods where 50-75% of the dogs are pitbulls. Of all the breeds available you know the owners didn't get them because they're sweet, loving animals. There are 149 other breeds that can fit that bill.
This is the absolutely stupidest post on getbig.

Why would you hope it was worth hurting a child??? What wrong has a 2 year old done to deserve that?Its not worth anything. It is simply one of lifes little ironies is all. Obama could have saved the day whilst he chose his own hubris instead.

It's simple, the boy is small so the dog thinks he is superior to him, as soon as a dog thinks it's your superior in the pack and deems you a liability it will not hesitate to attack you.
When a dog licks you/rolls on it's back to be tickled, the truth is, it's all just a display of submission, nothing more.
Dominance/submission isn't necessarily related with size.in the case where a dog attacks a child it's the size advantage that usually gives it the confidence to do so.

Bullshit.
How so? If a dog has been bred to fight it will tend to fight? Logical imo
Ever looked at some of the bite statistics out there..?
In my country german shepherd and kings poodle top the list on the # of bites. Pitbull was out of the top 30.
Good point man. Damage done should be taken into consideration though as well I think. I'd much rather be bitten by a poodle than a pit :D
Children pretty much suck anyway... pets are way cooler!

Meanest dog I have ever dealt with was a Jack Russell Terrier. The same dog bit 6 different people, two of them were women....in the vagina.
Jacks are cool as shit. I think they tend to nip more than bite, though. Maybe that one just liked pussy. Not gonna fault him there, cuz I do, too.This dog latches on for dear life. It bit me in the knee and held on. That dog was pure bred and vicious as hell.
Who knows that the kid did to the dog? Maybe he poked it in the eye, or hurt it. Maybe he was wrestling with it. My point is this, you should never leave a kid(s) alone with any powerful dog. In regards to pits, they can be very aggressive towards other dogs if they are not properly sociliazed, but they are very tolerant of humans. Why would a dogfighter want a dog that attacked him every time he pulled the dog out of the ring? Pitbulls are no different than Dobermans, GSD's, Mastiffs and other powerful dogs. You need to bring them up correctly and you need to treat them with respect.
Infact, if trained correctly and brought up in a social manner, pitbulls are a very good family dogs. The problem is that all the lowlifes and morons in society are getting pitbulls and encouraging poor behavior out of them. Something tells me that James Harrison didn't take the time to properly raise his dog. You have a better chance of being hit by lighting than attacked by a pitbull, thats a fact.
Which is why whippets and greyhounds=much better.
My neighbor has 2 pits and they are the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. A shame such a great breed has been ruined by scum and criminals.
Not really. If you don't bring up those breeds correctly your going to have issues. You ever watch dog whisperer? All kinds of aggressive, fucked up dogs from all walks of life. They all have one thing in common, they have owners who don't know shit about how to raise a dog correctly or they are to fucking lazy to do whats needed.
Just watched a bit. Might be true. I still wouldn't want a pitbull.

Great stuff there, TA. How long does it take her to do one of those?She didn`t do them. She sent them to me which is why I put "via" Jezebelle.
Very cool dogs too. Do you enter them in races?

Im am deeply disturbed and emotionally damaged due to your lack of empathy, of course this is only further magnified by my intense interest and fascination with your greyhounds ::)
it is ironic however that greyhounds are some of the most mistreated and abused dogs out there, if people really knew the fate of the racing dogs after their career is done, people would be appalled. Very few are adopted in the grand scheme of things. Greyhounds are a pointless breed, bred to run in circles, they are not true hunting dogs or even capable of being guard dogs. Greyhounds only serve to buffer the ego of their snide and selfish owners.
She didn`t do them. She sent them to me which is why I put "via" Jezebelle.Nordic Poop owned.

Fair enough, that makes sense.They are computer graphics. I didn`t realize Nordic Beast was so dim as to not realize this.
RACING FACILITIES are VERY NICE!
why do they cage the dogs? Why not let them roam. A bit barbaric no?Do you see a cage?
Do you see a cage?
There is nearly a half a mile to a mile in each pen and each dog is housed in doors at night in air conditioning.
The racing facility I am sure is better than the average treatment a pet normally gets from a loving owner. All racing facilities are open to the public as well. There are WAY too many myths floating around and it really is saddening to see them being perpetuated.
They are they restricted by fencing then. The Dingos of Australia run free all the way from sydney harbour to deep into the outback.Her Name is Tracey and I have no idea if she is or is not.
Who is the lady in the last picture? Is she single?
Her Name is Tracey and I have no idea if she is or is not.
I've said what I had to say about dogs on the pets board. No offense to dog owners, but they can't be trusted. This is a perfect example. What could a 2yr old possible do to the dog to deserve that? Pathetic. ::)Could have stepped on it while it was sleeping.
Could have stepped on it while it was sleeping.True but.... come on? A 2yr old

Bullshit.
Your debating skillz are extraordinary, genius.
From Wiki:
A study examining a two-year period by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that, "during 1997 and 1998, at least 27 people died of dog bite attacks (18 in 1997 and 9 in 1998). At least 25 breeds of dogs have been involved in 238 human DBRF (dog bite related fatalities) during the past 20 years. Pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers" [the study places both breeds into one category] "...were involved in more than half of these deaths." Additionally, the article concluded: "Although fatal attacks on humans appear to be a breed-specific problem (pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers), other breeds may bite and cause fatalities at higher rates."
and...
In response to a number of well-publicized incidents involving dogs that resemble Pit Bulls, some jurisdictions began placing restrictions on the ownership of Pit Bulls, such as the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 in the UK, an example of breed-specific legislation. Many jurisdictions have outlawed the possession of Pit Bulls, either Pit Bull breeds specifically, or in addition to other breeds that are regarded as dangerous.
A bunch of U.S. states have legislated against pit bulls - not against poodles, dachshunds or collies - due to a disproportionate number of incidents of pit bull attacks.
Also on Wikipedia there's a tidy list of countries around the world that either ban or legislate pit bulls- judiciaries the world over have deliberated on the relation between this species and attacks on humans and made rules in accordance. So I guess legislators across the globe and in the U.S. all pale in comparison to your detailed analysis of this matter?
Feel free to continue on in your role as a bottom feeder on Getbig, if that's your bag. Or instead, prove me wrong. Show some kind of evidence that pit bulls were not bred for fighting and that they aren't involved in a higher incidence of dog attacks than other breeds. That was all that my original post stated, to which you cried bullshit. Well, make your case, or take a powder.
At minimum, but "Lurky" is too busy hating and surfing wiki to "prove" his stats.......I could pull stats all day long that show pits are way down the ranks of dog bites.....
You understand that pitbull type dogs includes about 5 breeds correct?
Each dog costs about a minimum of 10,000 dollars all the way up to 500,000 or more during their racing years depending on the pedigree. Only the top dogs are bred and the population is HIGHLY regulated. You cannot legally breed them yourself unless you have a National Greyhound License as it would pollute the gene pool.I'm glad to see you adopted your dogs and gave them a nice home. Did you not like the names Chuckles and Misty?
Do you think people would abuse such an investment? It is like horse racing. Do you think they will abuse a 30 million dollar thoroughbred?
dogs are as good or as bad as their owners.I have yet to see a mean Pitbull or a mean Rottwieler. I even find it more amusing sometimes when the ones who do get these dogs for the reasons you stated above, the dogs then turn out to be either playful doofuses or totally disinterested in even barking at anyone. lolol
ever met the kind of person that tends to own a pit or a rottie? they aren't all guys like nordic or knny, a lot of 'em are total shitbags that are PROUD that their dogs are mean and dangerous. get someone who's a little more nurturing and they'll be absolute teddy bears. friend of my family had three rotties and those things were so docile it was amazing.

I have seen that over and over again. They will brag about their dog and how big and mean its going to be and then it turns out to be a typical house dog and really crappy guard dog.
Been around pits for well over a decade, never had an issue with any of them.Exactly. Michael Vick`s dog were able to be re-homed as soon as their torture stopped. You really have to do some fucked up things to a dog to make him willing to fight. Basically putting them in perpetual state of fear and invoking a total delusional mental state by torturing them, altering their normal mindset.

Their temperment is very loving, friendly towards people.

I used to jog alot in my old neighborhood.. there were no leashlaws at the time, unfortunatly. So many houses I would jog past would have a dog in the yard snarling, growling, barking and trying to get over the fence at me... I noticed they all resmbled some sort of rott/pit or some variation of the two. (seemed like everyone had one)Two or three occasions was chased by them...I dont think they wanted to play.. at that point I gave up running outdoors and got myself a treadmill.
It seems to be irresponsible ownership combined with the temperament of this breed.. pits/rotts I notice do seem to be prone to aggressive behavior or easily have that tendency. Ive never had a bad experience with any other breed of dog. Having said that I wouldnt trust ANY dog alone with a small child. All animals can be very unpredictable. Birds, cats, dogs, reptiles... why do people always insist on testing this???
I'm no dog expert.. far from it. But if you keep hearing stories like this over and over... there is going to be an element of truth to it. Chances are, it is not made up baloney. There is a reason why people breed these dogs to fight and/or protect property... they DO have an aggressive dominant nature. I think they make wonderful pets with tons of personality, to an owner who is very loving, attentive, and caring... but not for just any idiot.
I want to look at these stats again. Ok, so lets say "pitbull" type breeds = 5 different breeds + the Rot's. In total this group of dogs was responsible for roughly 115 deaths over the last 20 years. Since they've grouped Rots in with the "pitbull types", lets say half of the 115 totals deaths were caused by "pitbull type" dogs. So, 57.5 deaths over the last 20 years (2.8 per year) were caused by "pitbull" type dogs. As I mentioned, lightning kills roughly 67 people per year. Over 20 years lighting kills roughly 1340 people or 67 per year, vs the 2.8 per year killed by pitbull type dogs.
Media spin and fear mongering = this "pitbull issue". As I showed above, you have a FAR greater chance to be killed by lightning than by a pitbull. All the op did by posting those stats was show that death by pitbull is not something anyone should be worried about.
Lets start blaming the people who have the most influence on how a dogs acts, their owners.
the thing is, the same behaviour that's considered "vicious" in a pit/rottie is just "annoying" if it's, say, a yorkie. the "cuter" breeds might growl, yap, and jump around like crazy but no one's really scared. you get a rottweiler that's just up on a fence going "HAY! HAY! LET ME OUTTA HERE, WE CAN PLAY FETCH!" and people are running around howling about how it's a terrifying scary monster.
it's like how people are always bitching at my bulldog because i don't always have him on a leash (meaning if i'm outside sitting on the porch he'll just be chillling with me). they say "well that breed was made to fight bulls, obviously it's mean". bullshit.
how often is the owner of the dog a factor in these stories? i'd say always. you get a guy whose pit is a killer chomping on babies' faces, go back in time and give him a great dane or a husky and guaranteed the same thing will happen down the road. it's like saying "all children behave like X". they don't.
well, like i said...dont trust any animal. I used to LOVE Steve Irwin, til he dangled his infant in front of a croc. I didnt hate the man, but I couldnt be a fan after that.
usually a dog baring its teeth, and snarling loudly, and trying to get over the fence, is not a dog that wants to play...and when a larger, stout dog acts that way, its very differnt than a small yappy dog acting that way.
Dog meat stew.
:-X couldnt do it.
Harrison didnt go in 2006 when they won the Superbowl either. I think its great. Fuck Obama. He even said at the ceremony he was a Bears fan. Who cares about meeting the President? They show Osama at a basketball game but did he go to a Washington Capitals hockey game in his own back yard???? NO. Good for Harrison......Go STEELERS ;DHis son would not have gotten bitten if he would have checked his idiotic hubris at the door and met Obama. I bet he wishes he and his family would have went to the Whitehouse instead of the emergency room, ending up with a permanently disfigured child.

My Greyhounds would definitely do this. You do realize you could easily plan a different route to run or you could walk in front of the dogs you feel threatened by as to not excite their prey drive.

I like how no one really had anything intelligent to say except Body88 and a few others, but that should be expected. If you want hard, scientific data, check out this site:
http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/
Most dangerous dog is the english cocker spaniel.
and on the american temperment testing society webpage, pits rate higher than countless popular breeds, like the beagle and the golden retriever.
www.atts.org
And I work with the group that rescued those Vick dogs (body88 can confirm this), and I can easily gaurantee not one will have a problem. Amazing dogs with very short memories.

you cannot easliy plan a differnt route when they are all over the neighborhood.... :-\
walk in front of them? ??? look.. thanks for the suggestions... but I dont believe Im going to manipulate the mind and try to predict the actions of a strange animal that clearly does not have good intentions. Rediculous.
Im just minding my own business enjoying a jog and fresh air, like any free taxpaying citizen in this country should be able to do. Its unfortunate due to some assholes and their dogs I was unable to do this! OH WELL >:(
MORAL OF THE STORY: assholes and irresponsible idiots should not own pets, let alone potentially dangerous ones!

uhhhh, i was referring to the times i actually got CHASED. I guess you missed that part ::) I can deal with barking dogs behind a fence. my point about the ones barking behind a fence was to point out their hostility and aggression...and that they all were the same type of breed. Pay attention!Maybe you should move to a better neighborhood were people can actually afford to keep their fences maintained well enough to hold their dogs. :-\
I left out the part where I would hear on the news everyother week about someones child in the area getting mangled or killed by this particular breed. I will see what I can dig up.

In all my life I have only had issues with cocker spaniels and poodles......never a Rot or a Pit....seems to me you people are living in or associating with ghetto types, I would suggest finding a whiter neighborhood. :)
I dont know about you but does it make financial (or any) sense to move away just for that reason? so free people ought to be driven out of their neighborhoods/ home because ppl in the area cant or dont care to control their dogs? fcking rediculous.White people are driven from their neighborhoods constantly by black families that can't control their kids.....what's the difference?
it was a white/redneck/middle class type of neighborhood. what difference does that make anyway? the problem was there was no leash laws & too many neglectful owners. The city was partially to blame for this. BTW chaos, where are you from? Have you lived in a neighborhood that was full of free roaming dogs?Cardio is totally unnecessary.

Im in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood now, where there ARE leash laws, and most ppl only own tiny, yappy dogs anyway.. so, problem solved. Now I run on the treadmill because of joint issues... Im not getting any younger (or lighter). But it used to piss me off to no end that I could no longer go out for my afternoon jog.
anyway, you seemed to have missed my original point :-\
whatever... peace!

I saw your original point, but I don't think it only applies to pits or rots.........any breed of dog can get out and chase you. ;)
Peace? haha Only if you post some more pics.... :P ;D
unless you need to keep teh cellulite at bay! :D:) I was being silly.
I never said it ONLY applies to them.. they just seem to be the fad dog of the era... & every idiot, and too many idiots, try to own them.My photoshopped pics are everywhere....... 8)
I'll post pics, but you first..mr. spelling Nazi! ;)
Of course,.... just so happens their opinions match yours, eh?
Using the numbers argument saying pits are safer than cockker spaniels is like saying a BMW is less stealable than a Honda Accord. The reason the Accords are the #1 thieved car is because they are the #1 most prevalent car in the country. If there were as many pitbulls as cocker spaniels, there would be thousands more attacks.
I gaurantee there are many more pits in the US than cocker spaniels. they (pits) are one of the most popular breeds around. I work with dogs, i work with the pit rescue group that saved many of the vick dogs, I know what I am talking about, you don't. You've obviously bought into the sensationalized media blitz and their quest for ratings. Again, I brought hard scientific data to the arguement, you brought ignorance.LOL, laying down another brutally truthful beating.
And, like I said before, the socioeconomic consistencies involved with pit bull attacks (blacks, mexicans, and white trash) are more indicative of the real problem.
Look at the white trailer trash defending their dogs.......
What are you pulling in per year "webcke"?
I still live at home with my parents.....
I'm not fucking with you. What do you do for a living?
I'm a Personal Trainer, though i am still studying, so work is part time right now.
Can we agree that I could stereotype you into the typical 20k a year meatball who trains clients at a gym, because he/she never applied themselves in a way to make real money? You don't seem like that type of guy. I would bet your ambitions are much higher than that, correct?
Of course. Both my parents are real estate agents and are fucking loaded, if i do say so myself.
Personal Training = only temporary. Real estate is where i will end up.
What about you champ, still pulling in millions?
No, I was making a point..... I don't stereotype people much. You just proved my above accusation incorrect, which is why I didn't post it as a rebuttal to your first post.
First post = joke aimed at Chaos.
Lighten up champ, it ain't that serious.....

I'm "light". Nothing wrong with a little sparing via post here and there.
I used to live in a neighborhood that got overrun by hispanics. Every night half the hood would kick their goddamn dogs (pitbulls included, but about every other type you can think of too) out onto the street. It made the neighborhood a mess, trash cans knocked over (dontcha hate that Chaos? ;)), yards dug up, noise all night, dog shit all over everything.
Amazing how a little hamburger soaked in antifreeze in the trash can every once in awhile worked...

You're a student who pt's on a part time basis while you study to make something out of your life."Make something out of your life". What a moronic, knuckle-dragging axiom. Your criteria for judgment of "success" is based solely on how many trinkets he may be able to purchase and will only "make something out of his life" once he enters the realm of indentured slavery.

Why do you care so much his trinket purchasing power and how does it encapsulate his entire existence? How can you even begin to know a persons thoughts, feelings and intelligence just by judging on his ability to purchase a trinket?
Is it safe to say you judge yourself by how many trinkets you can afford and how quickly you are able to afford them? Is this the sole importance that takes precedence over everything in your life?
Why the extreme and intimate love affair with gross consumerism above everything else?
oh wow... what a monster you are ::) telling people on the internet the deluded little fantasies you had when you lived amongst trashy people.
uneducated people, minorities and white trash, don't know how to raise dogs, and these are the ones who want pits. the owners are the variables, not the dogs.
Hey queerboy. That logic don't apply to the gun-control situation, and it don't apply here. These dogs are passive (and sometimes active) weapons. Since the people who typically have them cannot be reigned in, the means need to be mitigated.They were never intended to fight, there is no such thing as a "fighting dog breed"....
There is no reason anyone needs a machine gun, and there is no reason anyone needs a fighting dog breed.
What criteria do you apply to consider wether or not a person is successful?I don`t judge people`s "success" (an overly broad term which is rather meaningless) as that would be putting whatever bias and standards which may not coincide with the judged so it is useless and futile to render a verdict. I believe that is up to the individual to consider as they are the only ones who can set forth and accomplish goals they determine pertinent.
They were never intended to fight, there is no such thing as a "fighting dog breed"....
Do you know anything about dogs or are you just repeating what the news tells you?
Nevermind, I can tell from your posts.
Carry on.
How many cocker spaniel or heeler fighting rings have you heard of dude?No fuckwit, pitbulls are used for fighting, the breed was not intended to fight other dogs.
Do the mexicans and negros and tapout princes fight with Pomerianians? Labs?
What do they always use?
Saying the pitbull breed is not a fighting dog is like saying a Corvette isn't a sports car.

seems the Humane Society deems greyhound racing as abusive....but not to worry, surely Adonis's psuedo-intelluctual rants and random google picture posting disprove their findings

I don`t feel like wasting the time correcting the myths.
What in the world are you talking about?
funny how you have time to slander and condescend pitbulls and their owners
your trolling to antagonize people is boring and transparent
What in the world are you talking about?wrong----you have, more than once, refered to and demeaned pitbull owners as low class trash. You may not believe that and only mentioned these things in the midst of being your online highbrow persona, regardless I take little of what you say on getbig as anything solid, so if you really believe they are great dogs than cheers.
I did not slander any pitbull or their owners. I think they are great dogs who suffer from myths just as Greyhounds do.

If they weren`t popular in this sub-culture we would hear rappers talk about their Yorkies or their Basenjis, instead we hear them rap about their Pitbulls and their Rottwielers.
This thread is Z board material because it has poor genetics.

Many more pitbulls have stable homes in a family setting.

Concerning hte greyhound post i made, I was merely making a point about being able to find anything to cut and paste on the internet to support one's ignorant views and less about saying that greyhounds are abused.
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.
"Stable" homes don't have things like drugs, violence OR killer dog breeds in them.
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.
Prove this statement in any way, shope or form. This is like saying 'thugs' are a small percentage of the people who conduct drive-by shootings. Anyone with a little common sense knows otherwise.
"Stable" homes don't have things like drugs, violence OR killer dog breeds in them.
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.you are lost

All dogs will bite you if you fuck with them long enough. My aunt's toy pomeranian is the meanest little peice of shit i've ever seen. Will snap at you like lightning.
They are however, under my supervision. When I'm not around, they go in their kennel.
