Any Pitbull owners here?

my mom had a great dane she was teaching to growl by commanding it with the word "growl." my brother yelled down the stairs complaining that he was trying to sleep so my mom whispered "growl Jimmy" at Jimmy and he growled really quiet. was so funny. if you're a strong person and are definitely the pack leader, and you've gotten that position kindly, your dog wants to please you and gain your favor. they listen to you and they respond to commands gladly. some dogs just aren't for morons and a lot of morons want tough dogs. bad mix.

some dogs you just don't leave with small children because of the potential for accidental harm and that would be the case with Jimmy and my dog but as far as any biting i know for a fact those two would never bite a child. my dog will jump into the face height area of anyone speaking loudly to me as a warning but i can leave him alone all day with kittens and my pigeon and he's never caused even the slightest injury. the cats have scratched him on the nose and he obviously doesn't like it but he doesn't retaliate. Cabal is one of those dogs that has an instinctive protective side but he wouldn't even know where to begin having a mean bone in his body.
 
I don't see my Mastiff biting, but I wouldn't leave her alone with a child. She likes to knock kids over and lick their faces. A kid could accidentally get hurt, plus I'm sure it's a horrifying experience.

supposedly he has a bulldog.
 
not so sure he'd be good at owning a pittbull but Dany would. he said the stupidest thing he ever did was talk back to his wife, ONCE.

How did I miss this post?

That's a very good question. In all honesty though since we hear more about pit maulings than any other dog its hard to say. You can look up statistics online however nobody will have the same numbers. Pits I believe are targeted to some degree because of their background as a fighting dog and the myth of them being naturally vicious which has grown due to the fighting. Is the media AFTER the breed though? Hard to say, I think like LW said its a hysteria thing. I do know that since more and more people mistreat dogs and the pit being a dog that is sometimes cross bred to make mutts you find a dirty pit more often on the streets than a pure one. Its the pit mutts that get mistreated a good majority. I'd be more worried about them than a pure pit.

There are 2 in my neighborhood that have gotten out a lot. One I think is pure the other I know for sure isn't. Last time was about a month ago. I heard screaming and looked out the front window and there was a mother and her daughter walking and the pits were headed towards them. The lady was freaking out! I walked out front and walked straight up to the dogs as the lady was yelling for help, I sat down on the ground and put both hands out and looked away from the dogs so as not to make eye contact (I could still see them though) and they both ran up tails wagging and started crawling all over me licking me. I looked at the lady and said they are just dogs, see? They won't hurt you. She said pit bulls are vicious dogs. Well if that's the mark of a vicious dog then damn... time to kill all dogs! Took them back home (for like the 4th time) and told the guy, who is pretty chill, next time they get out I'm keeping them! The first experience I had with these 2 was pretty similare except they were scared shitless and wanted to crawl inside me, I live on a corner house to a major street and dogs normally don't get that close cause the vehicles freak them out! Haha. They strut around now like they own the damn block when they get out!

There are places in AZ I've heard that will put pits down for free if they are brought in off the street... I say fuck that!

On my old street, it was a dead end street, I used to let my pit and boxer out during the winter and let them roam. Grace (my pit) is like universally nice to other dogs (though she plays VERY rough sometimes) and is a bit oblivious to aggression. I have seen a dog ready to kill her and she just thinks the other dog is "playing" and she has a ball lol.
Anyway, sometimes Grace will bark and be very mean to people walking by and other times she would walk up tail wagging and want love. So, kinda unpredictable I guess, But I still let her out everyday and she never bit anyone. All my neighbors knew her and she was cool with all them too, just the strange or drunk people walking by she would be skeptical of.
 
kos i was sad they split too. she was there when all he had was a mattress on the floor.
kinda rooted for them to make it.
 
i haven't read this entire thread, but i have had numerous bulldogs (americans, pits and boxers). i love them all.

I live on a corner house so I get a bunch of people walking by so naturally my dogs bark. I've heard ppl yell at them to shut up and stuff, typically I try and ignore it. One day I was home I heard them barking and someone yelling at them and then a yelp like one of my dogs was hurt. Ran out the front door and there's these little punk high school kids sticking branches through my fence. Fuck that! I grabbed the closest one while the other ran and held him against the wall. Unlocked my front gate and pulled out my Rhodesian, she is a huge love bear but is my only trained attack dog. Wouldn't hurt a flea unless I say so. Lets the cats and my nephew climb all over her. Started telling the kid off and said you wanna see something? Told my girl to watch, she sat down, said intimidate she started growling, said teeth and she stood up and started barking and snarling at him. Kid pissed himself, literally! Told him if I ever catch him and his friends fucking with my dogs again I'll set her on them... The very next day the kids days comes to my house all pissed off (naturally he would be) said I attacked him with my dog. I asked if he would mind coming inside so we could discuss it civilly and he agreed. Walked into my computer room and told him I had something for him to watch... I have a surveillance system set up on the side of my house that faces the street due to the fact ppl fuck with my dogs and because I have an attack dog I need to be able to prove that if she or any of the other bite someone thru the fence its not due to an aggressive nature. Played back the whole loop of what happened and the father apologized and then dragged his son down to apologize. I have signs posted be ware of dogs and all that bullshit for precautionary measures that need to be taken bit I'd never worry about them attacking anyone if they got out. My dogs are a bunch of babies! Lol. They run from my damn cats if the cats hiss at them! Funniest shit ever! My neighbors are all cool with my dogs, they will call me and say "hey, I have left over scraps from steak dinner" or some other goodie and ask if I would mind if they toss them over the fence for my kids. I let them, its all good. My dogs know all my neighbors and trust all of them. My dogs are my kids, they eat dinner when I do, they sleep on the bed with me. They are my family, not my pets!

I'm sorry. Loss of a pet/kid is never easy! I will ALWAYS own a boxer! They can be stubborn and pig headed sometimes but damn, they are just so adorable and fun to play with! Only downfall... sometimes their gas makes you feel like you just got hit with chemical weapons! Haha. They really can clear a room!

That's an interesting analogy... but doesn't hold true to this topic as your talking about taking one of natures best killers and turning it into a domesticated animal. Its been done and there have also been epic fails at it as well. Lol. I'm not trying to change your mind bro, I don't do that with people as its pointless once somebody's mind is made up. I find it sad though that people believe whatever the media spoon feeds them. Its proven that fear sells better on the news than hope and prosperity, so while we hear about pit maulings a few times a month in AZ you will NEVER hear about a pit saving an owners life. Why? Cause pits are horrible vicious dogs that are bred for killing and fighting and therefore are incapable of being anything other than a brute! Please don't mistake this as an attack on you cause its not. I'm speaking from my personal experiences with at least 100 pits minimum, through breeding and other interactions, and in all of that time I've encountered 1 that showed elevated aggression levels above the norm and that was due to hormone injections. Who's more qualified to make an accurate statement on the breed? Me or the media? I'm thinking me, and the thousands of pit owners who have never had a bad thing happen in the numerous pits they have owned. Not the local news that preys on your fears. /rant

Sorry guys...

Ok, I'll try this once more. Since you seem to feel that the media is not only demonizing pits but also you feel that the media has singled out the breed, why do you think that is? What initially caused the media to single out this gentle, timid and family loving breed you love so much?

There have always been dog bites, bro. Many other breeds can be seen as ruthless killers as well. Why have pit bulls been given this title? Is there some kind of conspiracy that the majority can't see through?

I agree. I've owned two so far. The one I have now is the most gentle animal I've ever had the pleasure to own. His name is "Aries" BTW.
 
I like boxers but I've never owned one. Seems like they like to dig though.

the breed is demonized and singled out because of the piece of shit owners that raise/train them to be aggressive and use them for fighting. they are the ultimate breed for fighting, so if that's what you're into, that's the breed you use. greyhounds are sleek and extremely fast. if you're into dog racing, chances are you will use a greyhound.

ALL greyhounds aren't good race dogs, because everyone that has one doesn't raise/train them to do so. everyone that has a bulldog doesn't raise/train them to be viscious killers either. many people (including me) have had numerous breeds of bulldogs that have been excellent "family pets". they aren't born to attack and kill children and other dogs.

it's more about upbringing than anything, JUST LIKE WITH CHILDREN.

Sounds plausible. I could agree with everything except the children comment. A good upbringing does not insure your child will not be a cold-blooded killer.
