Hi Rott lover, I am no pitbull expert, but I do love mine and have many books about them in my dog section. Most pits are not bred for fighting anymore. At least here in Canada and USA. Where your friend got his pits from could answer alot of questions. Reasearching the Bloodline could tell you alot about how your dogs will turn out. There are many lines now that are bred for the more desireable traits in the pitbull, like; courage, loyalty, strength, agility, intelligence, desire to please master, gameness. ****Good breeders do not breed dog aggressive dogs.**** This is what is being bred out of the line. Yes a lack of education is much to blame in most pit bull scenarios. Pit bulls require advanced dog handlers and factual knowledge, not myths or rumours.
Yes this is a rumor, it does sound ridiculous when you really think about it.

Most dogs that bite, have not been properly socialized. That goes for all breeds. Chain a dog up in the house backyard or the warehouse, don't play with it, don't take it out for walks, don't introduce it to new dogs and people, don't let it see anyone at all. Hmmmmmmm I wonder if after 3 years of isolation, it could tell if a stranger was trying to be friendly or attack it??? How can anyone be so absurd to blame a dog? Let your unsocialized untrained dog run free in the suburbs. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, is it possible it could run into a situation where it felt threatened? It was scared? It was being chased by kids throwing rocks? Just a few thoughts I had while driving home for lunch. Russ IP: Logged |

I have been reading over everything that has been wrote on here.I want to thank everyone that has stood up for this breed.I thank you and all 10 of my pitbulls thank you. I do have a question for everyone that thinks pitbulls should be banned.Are you saying just pitbulls or pitbulls and all pitbull related breeds need to be banned. Be cause do you know that Great Danes,Boxers,Mastiffs,Enilish Bulldog,American Bulldog,AMStaffs,Bull Terrier,and a few more out there are all related.Do all these dogs need to be put down too?

Doc, why on earth would anyone put blame on the dog? If a dog viciously attacks someone, it needs to be put down; however, a dog can never really be "blamed" for anything, because a dog does not have a sense of right and wrong. The only animal that has that gift if the human being. That places a heck of a lot of responsibility on our shoulders, doesn't it? It bugs me that so many of us want to be thought of as superior to all other animals, but at the same time, so many of us refuse to be held accountable for anything. IP: Logged |

Hi bigboots, Your post makes alot of sense, people want to use the dog as a scapegoat. To escape the responsibility/liability of their dogs actions. They shouldn't even own a dog in the 1st place. If ones dog cannot act correctly in public places, do not take him where trouble could possibly arise. Sounds like a logical thing to live with. LOL some people can't and will never figure out this simple formula though. God PLEEEEEZ help them Russ IP: Logged |

ok heres waht i think, i own a pit bull who is currently very sick with parvo but she is the sweetest dog i have ever seen. i also own a half german shepard half chow who is now 6 years old. i raised it from a pup and i have only had my pitbull for a week. the mixed breed is more mean than the pit bull. so does that mean that all "mixed breeds" should be banned? no i don't think so, the people who are talking about pit bull attacks on this thread are focusing on the ones who did attack people not the ones who didn't attack people. out of all the pit bulls in the world that have been owned by people what percentage of them do you think have attacked someone? i'd bet about 90% have never attacked anyone. the only reason people think pit bulls are dangerous is because everytime one attacks somebody the press is all over it. now on the other hand if a german shepard or a lab was to attack somebody on the same day a pit bull attacked somebody which one of them do you think would become publicly known? the press are always looking for stories that have to do with pit bulls because it catches peoples attention. i mean think about it if man was never put on this earth and pit bulls and all other animals were here would pit bulls be mean? no they would not they would be just like any other dog. i'm not saying pits are mean but i am saying the ones that are mean were made mean by their owners it did not come natural to them. i don't think its right that people are judging the whole breed of pit bulls based on what a small percentage of them have done.

"You blamed the owner of the dog that mamed you but not the dog your words were "The owner wasn't watching him..Then I have a guestion for YOU..Why weren't your parents watching you...? Now remember its just a question dont get all bent out of shape over it. Doc~"

Freedom - BINGO, you got it! Pit Princess, sure am glad your on my side as well Albert, one thing you will notice. All the people here who love the APBT are a lot like the APBT. We look, act and come across very aggressive; however, when I get off this computer and go over to my Dukie I'm as sweeet as they get. My dog does not judge me. My dog does not instill fear in me. My dog simply waits until I return home from work allllll day long. He does not chew a single thing..even though I leave him inside all day to keep himself entertained. He does not pee or poo on my precious floors. He does not bite or lunge at people, but if you were to meet him in a dark alley you'd shit your pants...but he'd never bite you. He'd just be interested in coming over to say hello, but because your brainwashed and believe he will hurt you, you'd probably start to run which would freak him out and he'd probably start to chase after you. He would chase you to say "hey whats wrong" but you'd be thinking this dog wants to kill me. Do you understand what I am saying? It would have been because of pepoles actions that cause the dog to act defensive. Rest of message has been snipped by Admin......shmoopie, Auspet is not the place for personal bashings. Do it once more and you will no longer be able to post here ! - Auspetian [This message has been edited by Auspetian (edited 02-20-2003).] IP: Logged |

I've just read in my local newspaper that a gentleman is starting a petition to ban the APBT and Rotweiler in the Vancouver, BC area. I'll let everyone know when this is up so we can hopefully fight it. There are a lot of people who are in support of banning the APBT here where I live, but I am going to fight to not let this happen.

Hi Shmoopie, I think/hope Albert has changed his thoughts about APBT since the time/date of all that ruckus in this thread. He has asked his questions more delicately, respectfully and knowledgeably since that time. He has also shown interest to learn more about this breed. For this I am happy. Here is the BSL clip you are talking about.
Last Sunday, I told you about Andrew Kurkowski's efforts to have the beasts Posch was rescued from the runaway brutes by brave passers-by who intervened The owner of the dogs was fined $400 for having two aggressive dogs off The column generated an unprecedented amount of e-mail. While I was unable "Usually I get involved with an issue and I think about it and rationalize Kurkowski and Posch are committed to a city-wide breed ban on pit bulls. In "There's a $2,000 fine for having a dog, any dog, on the beach, yet a pit Not all the responses to Kurkowski's crusade were supportive. Some readers Sure, many dogs bite. But we're talking about marauding maulers here, not Retired plastic surgeon Dr. Dale Greene is eager to sign Kurkowski's He adds: "I think this is really a political issue, not a medical issue. The City of Vancouver must get in line with other cities across North The crusading couple welcomes your comments and support at mposch@shaw.ca. mroberts@png.canwest.com ******************************************** This is a letter written and sent to the victims from a lady named Robin who is in another forum I go to.
