All I saw was a dude throwing and attacking some German shepards and their owner and the dogs retaliating. But for real Pitbulls are horrible because of how they were bred, their specific breeding is bull baiting and later game bred fighting its ingrained in them, Dogs have a purpose they are bred specific for these purposes. Sure you see a lot of Pits who look friendly and are good tempered but many of them will still snap on their master, one guys pit bit him on his neck and killed him. Of course it also comes down to how you raise it, dogs must be exercised, socialized, disciplined and the owner must be compassionate without spoiling the dog or abusing them. Its why a pit can snap out of the blue, its their drive. The only people I see defending pitbulls are Redneck types, Thugs and Cholos, and liberal hipster PETA types. Ive seen so many of these dogs in the hood and they are dangerous some little girl got chewed up by a pitbull and we had to hit him with 3 sticks, one of the sticks snapped and he still wouldn't let go. The thing about Pits is these fools are different they will die, they will fight to the death they are taught to have a high fight no flight, once they latch on the neck of a human or dog or animal it is very difficult to remove them, Ive seen it before, you can hit them as hard as you want and their fight is so high they have no quit. I seen people hit a rotty on the nose who was trying to attack and he ran away. Pits wont back down for nothing. T

I wouldn't get one, not because of the dogs themselves but because they have such a stigma around them you can't take them anywhere (like a dog park) without people getting upset. Also they should definitely be neutered

Selling puppies should also require a permit and the permit should cost more than the sale of the dogs. Can't stand people who breed dogs for money, there are plenty of dogs needing homes in the shelters. My oldest pit is 8 years old and my little guy is 2 years old., I love them. Pit bulls are dangerous and they attract idiots as owners. They need training including lots of physical and mental exercise. I don't think I will own any other breed of dog. I like to get them from shelters and provided them an awesome life, a life they deserve with an owner they deserve also

Its a simple animal bud, it becomes what the person turns it into. Any one with any brains will defend pits cause once they are banned that trash you speak of the Redneck types, Thugs and Cholos will move on to GSD Rotties and mastiffs and fools like you will cry for those dogs to be banned. See a pattern developing ? Its called fight or flight buddy, Some dogs will fight to the death others will run away. No dogs snap for no reason, there always a why it happen. There is no drive that makes them snap. Raise a strong dog with confidence and he will fight to the death. Raise a fearful wimp and it will snap at anything even a kid out of fear. P

pit lovers have this weird thing where they refuse to accept facts about the dog and owning one. They refuse to accept the fact that a pitbull was bred to kill other dogs/animals...hence the name "pitbull"....it is always due 100% to "shitty owners" according to them and nothing to do with genetics they also refuse to admit why they are attracted to the breed....women get teacup terriers as an accessory to be like a celebrity, people get GSDs for family protection, people get bulldogs bc they like how cute they are.....yet when it comes to pits, they dance around the fact that their "badassness" would make them appear "Badass" as well

This should apply to most if not all dogs. Should be like owning a car, get a licence and insurance to. Breeders should be official, and have strict rules governing them. Disagree on the fixed part, but bigger fish to fry.

Those are skinny pits so that means you have LEGIT Pits not these fake roided up, ghetto pits that I see on a daily. original pits which are hard to find now, were bred to be non human aggressive the ones today ae being bred and sold as pits out of backyards in teh hood or the country and many are being bred for muscular looks which makes them more aggressive. The ghetto pits those American bully bloodline ones with huge muscles all they do is fuck and fight, too much testosterone and they have major health issues, its probably why so many attacks by pits P

youre right, ive never seen someone defend pitbulls who also dont own one i got a husky because i like to go on long runs, and i like they way they look if i had little kids, i would get an extremely gentle dog like a lab or a golden if i was worried about my property, i would get a GSD or a chow i still havent seen an aswer on why someone would choose a pit bull, other than they think they look "tough" or boost thinking that they are the best for hiking

Sorry bud but most Pits i see are rather normal looking dogs. I think you are confusing Pits with bully's (majority mastiff blood) which the ghetto redneck trash tend to get. Here , you consider this overly Baddass ??? probably not. There there are freaks like this, mutt mixes who the fuck knows what they are. They have no pedigree but their bites and attacks are always attributed to pit bulls. There being nearly FUCK all Pit blood in them. This pick sure explains a fuck hell of a lot don't it.

Like any dogs a Pitbull can be a good family dog and loyal pet with almost no problems. Unlike almost no other dog however PitBulls mostly cannot escape decades of selecting breeding that was focused on one thing. that is making it a great killing machine. To accomplish that Pitbulls have been bred to : - attack without signalling. Whereas most dogs will warn before attacking, in the Pit fight world signaling an attack can see the fight over before it starts. For pet owners that means IF they get one that does attack there is typically little warning prior and why you almost always hear from the owners 'he showed no signs prior.' - Once an attack is commenced always complete it with a kill. Again in Pit fighting world stopping and showing mercy can cost the winning dog his life. So when you attack ensure they are truly dead. Almost all other dog breeds, unless trained specifically to attack, attack to establish space or territory. Once established they typically back off causing injury but rarely death,. Those who put up false equivalency arguments about other dogs biting more often need to understand these 2 points above.

lmao, are you out to prove your ignorance on this subject ? Chows are awful dogs with worst bite statistic's then anything. Seriously do some legitimate research and you will see don't take my word for it actually educate your self on the subject. Your choice of Chow would be more statistically likely to bite you or your kids then any Pit bull like breed.

Blaming the dog is like blaming the gun in a shooting. Like when those people say "assault rifle," you probably don't even know enough about "pit bulls" to properly legislate anything regarding them. Is it the American Staffordshire Terriers that are the problem? American Bullies? Staffordshire Bull Terriers? Pit bull isn't even the proper name of any specific breed.

to ignore the selective breeding over decades of a dog breed is foolishness, Foolishness of the highest order. It is nothing like blaming a gun to recognize that if for decades a certain dog breed is selectively bred based on certain traits of aggressiveness and that makes it potentially far more dangerous than other dogs who have not had such selective breeding. Does that mean each PitBull is worse than every other dog or cannot be socialized and a good pet? No. But what it does mean is that when they do snap the damage done is often far worse than other breeds overall.

Dober4 said: To be fair same could be said for a German Shepard, but my brother has a pit and yes it's high energy but it's trained well. He has two kids that are 6 and 4 years old I bring my 2 year old over all the time, the neighbors kids come over all the time. Helps that he has a huge fenced backyard so she can run, she is 8 years old and still has endless energy you would think she's 3. I will somewhat agree with the op because she does absolutely hate small animals, any rabbit or ground hog that gets in the yard will be torn to shreds. Small dogs as well, she has never done it but I think it's a territorial thing because you can go on walks with her and she won't pay any attention to other dogs. Click to expand...

Pretty much described my American bulldog/pit mix to the T. She loves people but has a very strong prey drive around animals smaller than herself. Dogs included.

did you miss the part where I acknowledged it can be dangerous? Pit bulls of any kind were never selectively bred to pursue or attack people. And there are other dogs that are just as powerful and potentially aggressive, such as Rottweilers, ovcharkas, cane corsos, German shepherds and malamutes. It's just a shame that so many people mistreat or poorly raise their pitbulls, which is the reason they are singled out amongst the powerful dogs as being dangerous. They are not inherently any more dangerous than the other dogs I listed.
