Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=345487)

I get that some people have these aggressive powerful dogs and have no issues with them, but how can you have them in a home with small children, or leave small children unattended with two of them?

Yeah all dogs can bite, but if your Pomeranian gets pissed off it’s not a killing machine.

I'm just wary of Pitbull's after having a number of incidents with them.

I had a Dobermann for 13 years and she was a great dog. I'm sure there are some bad Dobermann's out there as well. Seems there are a lot of Pitbull's in this country thus a higher number of incidents. No denying that breed can tear some shit up.

Don't necessarily fault anyone for simply not trusting dogs with this kind of reputation - there's no NEED for them to exist; plenty of 'safe' dogs out there for anyone that wants one.

But I'll say this - that rot if mine, hard headed as he is, is the most fiercely loyal and attentive dog. He's aware of everything. If he sees someone walking down the sidewalk and the kids are in the driveway, he'll just go to the end of the driveway and watch everything.

And I don't have a good way to describe his personality apart from just being very mercurial. He's charming as ****; everyone that visits us loves that dog because he's just an interesting and extremely affectionate little heathen.

But again - I don't fault the 'I'll never have one' crowd because they are different. Different to train, different to own.

And ultimately I think that's where people truly fail. They try to pretend like their rotty or their pit is a golden retriever. They aren't; never will be. They're working dogs and they're laser focused. If you can't direct that focus, you'll end up with a bit of a neurotic dog. And a neurotic dog with that kind of bite force is not great.

I’ve had a Rott, my favorite dog ever aside from my 2 Bull Mastiffs I have now.

I would trust that dog around anyone as long as you weren’t dumb like my brothers friend who came over to watch the Super Bowl around 2000?
He was drunk and was wrestling rough with him outside and I heard my dog growling and barking which he never did and I told the dude repeatedly to leave him alone he wasn’t having fun anymore.

Dude didn’t listen and left with a nasty gash on his nose. I didn’t feel bad for him or blame my dog.

My BM are super sweet dogs and everyone loves them to death. They may as well have their own social media page they are so popular. But if another dog gets snippy with them they respond. You have to know your dogs.

sometimes that breed just snaps and tries to kill. I personally would never own one and this is just a sad tragic story.

I love dogs and have always had them and have met some great Pitt Bulls. But I don’t think I would ever own one either.

But to be Frank the flat out meanest dogs I’ve seen and would never ever ever own are Chows.

We had a Pittbull running our penned up weaned calves one day. Shot him on the spot, no questions asked. Doesn't matter what kind of dog it is really. If they get caught running cattle, they're dead. We never told the neighbor either. Lucky just didn't come home one day.

Not a fan of those dogs. Definitely wouldn't feel safe with my kids outside if a neighbor had them out. Went to a bonfire years ago at a friend's who had 2 Pits and they were pals for years and suddenly at the bon fire they began fighting each other to the death. No idea why...they were trained supposedly too. Took several people to separate them and get their arms and hands all tore up in the process. One of the dogs died shortly after separation and the other was put down later. No attack towards humans but man they seem unpredictable. Really sad for this family. I'd be done if this happened to my kids. I have no idea if they'll ever recover from this.

Yes this, they're a stupid and unpredictable breed... they can and will snap

Yours looks just like my daughters. Hers is the sweetest gentlest dog. His most aggressive move his bumping you with his massive head to get a little petting. Then when you pet him I think he tries to purr like a cat but it comes out more like a moan!

Should do a mass extermination of all pit and pit mixes. Lots of wannabe gangsters and **** twats that think the dog makes them look tough.

I was bit on the foot by a pitbull 6-7 weeks ago. I was lucky coworker got his dog off my immediately as it jumped on me next.

They are horrible pets and anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant douche.

1. It should be an illegal pet if you have children under 18
2. You should be mandated to carry $1,000,000 of liability insurance for each pitbull you own
3. Your pitbull kills someone, you do 10 years in jail minimum.

End of story.

I don't give a damn what anyone says, I wouldn't trust one of those ****ing dogs for one second

For sure. I hate being around them.
