This is not a dog for the mentally complacent nor judgementally impaired.
English Setters are bred to hunt birds
Australian Shepherds are bred to herd sheep
etc etc
Pitts were bred to kill.
It’s instinct.
there needs to be a ban.
you nailed it!.... but it is ALWAYS the owners fault here on FR! always! even when these dogs are owned by professional type folk....great animal lovers who care tremendously about their pets and give them all the love a doggy should have...when they ‘snap’ and kill and maul the pit fans STILL blame the owners! I have known 3 ‘pit bull’ owning families, great pet owners, worked with the animals, spent a lot of time with the animals, etc. etc... AND the kids and the dogs were pals......but in all three cases the dogs ‘snapped’ at one point for some reason and attacked in all 3 families and hurt kids in 2 out of 3 of these families. why in God’s name have a dog that can ‘snap’ at any reason or for no apparent provocation...when there are so many other breeds out there to own that are so mild? I think we know the reason!!! but here on FR the defenders of these monsters ALWAYS blame the owners! how goddamn stupid can ya get? It is ALWAYS the owners fault!?? the 3 owners I mentioned earlier in this post were the best of dog owners but STILL these/their dogs snapped for God knows what reason......but here on FR it is the owners fault at all times. 4 inches or 5....ya never know...my doggy is rougher than yours thus I am rougher than you. Just like the kids and women who get their rocks off over this ‘ultimate fighting’ crap....getting off on men mauling each other like pit bulls fighting. freaking sick people. good God.. grow up folks huh? I’m an old timer and I will never understand the attraction to that. I bet those people search for dog fighting videos on the internet also to excite them. just sick pathetic young people I guess.
