Yup, after 8 years. Hell, our shi-zhu is more aggressive.

An inanimate object compared to a living animal isn't even a little similar.

---

How many hundreds of thousands/ millions of pit bulls live in this country that aren't doing this??? Strange, kinda like the hundreds of thousands/millions of gun owners that aren't illegally murdering people. Yeah, the comparison is similar……

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

Going door to door and killing people's dogs is wholly unacceptable.

Works for the BATFE

The only part of the federal government that rivals the FBI for #1 on the list of entities which need to be disbanded.

It seems people don't have time to discipline their kids, so their dogs definitely aren't going to get it.

Maybe we should force their owners to get insurance to own those dogs. Or maybe get a license?

. This must be sarcasm. Nobody is really this ignorant. Yeah, gotta be sarcasm.

I think the problem is pits in the pack mentality. I would never have two or more of them. Based on reports, it's usually multiple dogs that go nuts.

I've got a pit and he's extremely meek. He's been bitten twice in the neighborhood by a mutt and a labradoodle. He never retaliated. He's gentle as can be. He likes to wrestle with me, but if he gets too excited, I say "careful" and he's back to licking. And whenever we wrestle he's always showing signs of "daddy we're playing". Love him so much.

let them kill, just have insurance, i despise Pit Bulls and all other vicious breeds,

usually pro freedom for most things, but public safety comes first here. killer dog breeds should be in the same category as other more dangerous animals.

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.

---

My half pit (that I inherited) is scary looking as ****. Luckily, the other half is lab.

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.

Dog 15 is a pit breed

We have a catahoula / Great Dane mix. Great dog.

High energy though for 100 lb dog.

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.

That dog literally still hits me in dreams to this day.

---

Sorry man. I'll be pretty low when we lose ours. She's three right now and my wife and I got her right after we got engaged. Sort of our first living thing to take care of together. We have a done now and another on the way that will be here in a month.

Our 1.5 year old boy falls asleep on her tummy and she lays there and let's him pull her ears. Little dude also gets his face and hands licked by her and laughs.

Of course we never leave the dog alone with the kid. She is also very apt at tearing down our fence in the back yard.

My wife works from home and even though we live in a nice safe neighborhood I sleep better when I'm work traveling knowing that my wife knows where our guns are, how to use them, and there's a 100 lb Rottweiller answering the door next to her.

I can sort of see the hate for pitts, but I think I reserve more distaste for the owners. Big dogs are like sex or like a gun. Not trained and watched and kept within the proper boundaries, you're going to ruin yours or someone else's life with it.

Pitts can be sweet and loyal, but you're an idiot if you leave it alone with a kid or with someone that teases it or isn't your same skin color or scent (seriouslydogs are legit racist and can't help it).

start charging the owners with murder

This is the answer

More government edicts are never good.

Any dog can be trained to the point of control, but it doesn't mean it won't bite when provoked. People need to understand that dog training is not for the dog, it is designed to train the owner/handler how to manage dog ownership. Many owners are untrainable.

If your dog is aggressive or snaps at people, look in the mirror to find fault. That doesn't mean that some dogs are not beyond being controlled because they have been mistreated, or are simply not right in the head, for whatever reason. These dogs must be recognized by the owner and put down. It is common sense.

Every single list, eh? Huge fail of a post.

I missed the last one, but whatever the point still stands, the breed is worthless.

Yes, along with chihuahuas. Not because they're dangerous (however, they are FAR more likely to bite than other breeds) - but because they're useless.

There's a reason why we cannot have wolves as pets. Their breeding is such that they can never be fully domesticated. I believe a pit bull is very similar. They were bred to be lethal fighters, not house pets.

To your analogy above, it only works if the gun comes fully loaded, cocked, and pointed at your neighbor, and your 5 year old child is holding it.

At the dog park a couple of years ago with my lab, a young Hispanic woman's pit attacked thus older women's collie. Had it bay the throat blood going everywhere, it just ignored her, I beat it across the nose with my plastic leash handle, the whole time thinking it's going to let go and come at me.

Which part of the bill of rights covers specific dog breeds?

---

9th amendment? Or do you believe the government gives people their rights?

---

How does the 9th give the government the right to ban a certain breed of dog?

---

because dogs don't have constitutional protections?

Pit bulls don't kill people, owners do.

He finally let go as I started just crushing him in the face. The collie took off. The Hispanic woman was like he has never done that before.
