Every child I've sewn up in the ER from a doc attack has been a pit. And they were all "family friendly" and "great with kids" and they can only say "I think she just got too close, the dog would never do it on purpose"
We got a CockaPoo when my kids were little, best family dog I have ever seen.
We have had friends seek out CockaPoos because of this dog.
She tried to snap at my kids twice. First time I punted her across the room.
2nd time, not sure what I did, but got my point across.
After that, kids could drag that dog around, lay on her, whatever, never snapped again.
I don't care what the kids did, if the dog would have bit them, dog would have been gone.

My dad got rid of that dog right after that.
Don't know why the dog did it but my dad had a no tolerance program.
My dad was the first K-9 officer in our large county back in the late 60's. Back then they used labs and goldens as search and drug dogs along with German Shepherds.
Back then they used German Shepherds, Dobermans and Rottweilers for pursuit police work.
He said the only breeds that would attack the handlers themselves were Dobermans and Rottweilers.
There is a reason you rarely see them, if ever now in police work.
Labs, Goldens and German Shepherds are now mainly used for search and rescue, bomb sniffing, drug searches etc. Malinois and German Shepherds, Czech and Dutch Shepherds are the mainstays now for police pursuit work.
My dad said they often had male Labs that would be great for alarm or prisoner observation as they were great as watch dogs and would bark and pursue aggressively but would never bite.....

I'm sorry I know this is obviously a serious post but this image had me rolling. Reminded me of Anchorman.
I would never, ever own a dog that is a pit or is part pit. I have had friends with them though and the answer I usually get is they are super sweet and loyal to their family. There also seems to be a thing with some pit owners that they want to prove that pits are great dogs and they get very defensive when you bring up issues.Teslag said:
I don't understand the point of these breeds. I always ask pit owners what made the pit a better fit for their family over say a golden retriever or lab. They never have a good answer.
Fundamentally the issue with pits is they have an incredibly powerful jaw. So they have a very small margin for error. If a pit bites a kid they can kill them because of that jaw and power. You have plenty of other dogs that might bite you but they don't do as much damage as a pit. Pits also tend to be loyal and protective of their family, most of their attacks are on someone not in their family. That said they are one of the worst bred dogs if not the worst so there has been little effort to breed the aggression out. Thus you end up with some that are just fine until they lose it and it only takes once.
So many wonderful dogs out there you can get but some people just love rolling the dice with a pit.

Never know on Texags...
Dog loves me, anytime I sit down, she comes in jumps up in the chair next to me..
I have only known a few people with pitbulls. They were not friendly to people they did not know. Once they had your scent and it was registered to them as a friendly to them, put your hand to their nose and they would back down.
Never comfortable with that either.

On a side note, I just acquired a rescue yellow lab today. She's still a puppy...probably about a year old.
My dogs were curious.
My cats weren't so happy. And the male cat let her know with a pop on the nose.
She seems like a quick learner.

This. Anytime you have an animal with ability to kill you violently and quickly, you should give extra thought to their demeanor. I'd probably carry constantly if any of my neighbors had pits. Can't think of anything more horrific than one of those monsters mauling my kids. The breed should be put down.
Also the video of this incident is beyond awful. The pit literally rips part of the guys face off. And even worse, no one helps him. They just filmed it.
Yeah, guy with water hose just spraying the dogs 30 feet away while it is attacking the old man on the ground.
Grab a gun,
Grab a shovel,
Grab a bat,
Grab a hoe,
Grab a rock,
Grab a stick,
Got get a kitchen knife and pig stick that animal.
Spraying water droplets from 30 feet away did nothing...

I know .. the dam water hose .. the dog probably thinks he is getting a bath …
To be fair, if you see something eating someone's face off it's possible that a reasonable person might not want to get close enough to do any of those. They could reasonably be afraid that the dog would turn on them.aggiez03 said:

It's about how you train and raise. Every mutt in the world has 'pit' in them. Of course, most people don't know a pit from a terrier, but that's neither here nor there. Mine are also sweet.RDV-1992 said:
I have a pit mix. She's a good good girl.
My dad has owned 3 different pits, and they were the sweetest, least aggressive dogs I have ever been around. The only thing you are in danger of is being licked to death. The meanest dog my parents have ever had was a black lab, who was very territorial and would be aggressive with you until he got to know you.
It's a simple matter of the power of the breed, so when they do bite, it tends to be more severe than any other breed.

I concur with the Pit's being a worthless breed that deserves destruction. The absolute worst dog that we ever had was a damn springer spaniel. He was always somewhat shady as far as aggressiveness. One day I came home from work and found my brother and wife covered in blood. I thought that either they were attacked by someone or had killed someone. Heat rate jumps to 170!
Come to find out that the springer had attacked my dalmation for no reason and the fight was on. They both tried to get the springer off the dal and then he turned on them. My brother beat him with a cordless phone until he finally knocked it silly.
Needless to say, the springer didn't make it through the afternoon due to lead poisoning. Springer rage is real.

My dad and I have raised Rotts since the early 90's. We have not had one single incident of our dogs biting anyone. They certainly can be protective but so is my Pug. They just look intimidating. They are amazing family loyal dogs and they are good with kids. They get a bad rap because of their look and they certainly are powerful animals. But even our males have never had problems and because we showed them we couldn't castrate the males, and still no problems, so there is that.
I am not a fan at all of pits.
When I was a about five years old I was mauled by a Chow that almost killed me I lost so much blood. I don't hate chows, I can't even remember it. But I hear more about bad Chow attacks than any breed other than pits.
Not against some restrictions on pits, but let's not lose our minds. We also raised German Shepherds for years and to the best of my recollection only had one incident when the baby sitter swatted me and our female didn't like that and bit her on the ass. Sh** happens.
One of my best friends was playing with his kids last year and both his Great Dane's lost their minds and mauled his ass. I guess they thought he was hurting the girls. 58 stiches later he got out of the hospital and had them both put down. Was a very sad event across the board.
Thankfully Belgium Malinois are very cost prohibitive because without very proper training they are probably the most deadly domesticated canine species on the globe. They are wonderful dogs but straight up killers.

You are aware that Staffordshire Bull Terriers ARE pit bulls, right?Quote:Quote:My half pit (that I inherited) is scary looking as ****. Luckily, the other half is lab.Quote:

He's the best ****ing dog in the world. And the nicest. IF he knows you.
I also have a lab.
If someone breaks into my house, my lab is going to want to lick them to death.
My half pit is going to pin them in a corner while they piss their pants. But, he won't bite them. He'll just get about 1 foot from them and bark his scary as **** bark.
Then, I come out and let them make a decision of whether I shoot them or call the cops.
Labs and golden retrievers are great dogs (my dad has one of each). But, they absolutely SUCK for home defense.
If you want a dog for home defense, get a dog that is actually loyal and not a ticking time bomb from an unstable breed.

Every single list for home protection excludes pit bulls because the breed is like giving a psychopath access to weaponry and telling them to do what they want.
Tom that is like a clone of my sweet girl from the past. She was with me my last two years at A&M. Made it through a psycho girlfriend live in. A move from CS to Dallas. Met my future life and she actually slept on her side of the bed which was a little irritating. Up and died on me at our ranch about four years after we got married. Buried her on the bank of Cherokee Creek which runs thru the north end of our ranch. I gave up on dogs for ten years after that and we had a couple of sons.Tom Kazansky 2012 said:

Sewed up a kids face in the ER tonight from a pit bull attack. I would say every single unprovoked dog bite I've seen in the ER (hundreds of cases, probably getting close to a thousand) has been pit bulls. They're not worth it and will **** somebody up if given the chance.

Banning is one thing, but still the leftist solution of "more government."

Any dog with teeth has the capability to kill or maim a human. As a vet I've encountered thousands of dogs in 11 years as a vet, and another 10 as a tech prior. Also worked at a breeding clinic that did a lot of bully breeds. 99% are fine. I've been lunged at by chihuahuas, labs, one golden (who later bit the child in the family after I warned them a growling Golden was a ticking time bomb), bull terrier (who was wearing a service dog vest for a guy in a wheelchair so thought it was legit), rotties, heelers, tons of German shepherds…. GSDs and rotties/chows are probably the worst. I've seen a lot of dog aggressive pits but not many people aggressive ones. Several mean Springers, English bulldogs and frenchies too.
Edited to mention Cane corsos - awful dogs, never met a nice one and the owners are always somebody who shouldn't own a dog. They got them cause they look scary.
That all being said, any dog can turn anytime. Some are more prone to it than others, but regulating breeds by banning them is just more government overreach. Same as banning certain kinds of guns. More home insurance required on certain breeds? Sure. People learning to read animals better would probably reduce the number of bites each year. And any dog that bites without a really worthy cause is cause for consideration to put them down. We put down one of our own dogs after she growled at our kids (after a lengthy history of dog aggressiveness and fights even on meds). She was a mutt from the shelter. It can happen to anyone. Some dogs just aren't right in the head, same as people.
Banning pits isn't the answer. More educated and responsible dog owners is. However with the way society is trending, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

It's the 'culture' not the breed. Lot of ignorance on display in this thread.

Globally exterminate the breed with prejudice. The owner of known dangerous animals of all kinds should be held criminally liable for every incident as though they, themselves, committed the atrocity. This is the solution.
Blaming the pit bull breed is kinda like blaming guns...the owner/operator is really to blame.
