It went on for 2 1/2 pages n00b.

And yes, it started another extrememly productive pitbull argument. I don't mind or anything. Just was surprised at how many people have responded to the OP as if he was a real person.

I was hoping you meant the bud light party anthem guy

I personally think that breed is dumb as a ****ing brick and would never want one, having said that, my daughter has one that she couldnt possibly love more.

As others have said, the problem is mostly with the owners... people who want to own a pit should be vetted in some way, keeping them out of the hands of trash would go a long way towards helping the situation.

That argument borders dangerously close to the banning of guns argument. Careful now.

This IS the weapons argument. You could say you want to ban the devil and someone in America would cry fowl.

Some dumbshit, unleashed pit came running up on my dog and I today. Wish I would have stabbed it.

Pitbull owner here. Sorry to hear the latest news. I hear these stories all the time and they worry me because I don't know have a full understanding of what triggers the attacks.

My dog is absolutely kind and loving and I try not to live in fear of him losing his sanity. But I totally get the anti-pit sentiment. It's a shame people only hear the bad news about them.

What's worse is many adoption agencies hide the terrier when advertising the breed of the dog people are adopting. I'll bet many people think they have a retriever, lab, or shepherd mix but if you look up staffordshire terrier you just might recognize facial features of a dog near you. We were told our dog was lab, retriever mix and turns out the blood work revealed he was staffie (pit), shepherd, and Finnish spitz.

There are breed bans in many counties around me and in every bordering state. My dog is discriminated against by every kennel, most veterinarians and others because he "looks like a pit". He is but I had to get the blood work to know for sure.

I'm not giving him up. You'll have to come and get him. He's never done anything to anyone. But I suppose the possibility is enough to make people lose their heads about it.

That was excellent post, except for the last sentence. Banning a dangerous breed isn't "losing your head about it".

A reasonable compromise would probably be to grandfather in existing pit bulls, but ban any new ones.

I adopted a lab retreiver mix 3 weeks ago when I asked what else it was they said they weren't sure. It looks like a pit bull and I really hope its how you raise them more then anything else he came from a high kill shelter he is only 14 weeks and so far so good but I can tell you when we play he is strong but he is very sweet. He is also very fearless I have a deck in that back of my house that has a 4 foot drop and I had him out there today and he leaped right off of it. I am a big guy so no matter how big he gets I will always be able to handle him but I just hope he stays good. I f anyone has any advice let me know.

It's a combination of things. If the dog is not skittish or scared of everything and you're not apush over, you'll be fine.

I haven't read the rest of this thread, but I say we ban all things that kill one person every ten years in Wisconsin.
