wolfyhp Atascadero, CA age: 36	Intelligent group, good to see. I don't have dogs currently because of my living situation, but I was raised around dogs, including pit bulls. They are awesome dogs and dogs are perfectly safe around kids, if supervised. Yes, inbreeding is a problem in many purebreds of any breed. It's unfortunate and it's part of why I prefer mutts. However, pits are great animals with great hearts and tons of love. Like many others have said, including Caesar Milan, "There are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners." Daniel

hayrick1 Rochester, NY age: 48	Anything you say about pitbulls can be said about any breed of dog, from a mutt to a purebred. The little things they do, how they act, how loving they are, any dog can be like that. Every dog is individual as much as people are, some are bred for specific purposes and have tendancies toward that. Myself, I have always had dobermans and mutts (usually both at the same time), that is just my preference. I love all dogs. People can put up all the statistics they want, it will never ever be accurate. Some dogs are aggressive, some shy, some are afraid of everything, and none of these things can be blamed on the owner (assuming the dog isn't abused). Some are smart, some are smart as a box of hair lol. EG: I had an all black doberman for many years, beautiful dog. People were afraid of her for the simple fact that she was extremely well trained. My step mother once told me I was mean to make her so well trained, thought I was selfish and just wanted something to boss around. Too funny. The fact was Cleo (the dog) was very high-strung and I didn't want to break that, she needed the discipline, she was my best friend for many years. The way I see it is, if you ever have to lay your hand on your dog (or a person), it is time for you to part your ways. Consistency and love will gain you love and respect, no matter what the animal is. We are animals too heh heh.

redneck_don06 Laquey, MO age: 21	my dog is a german sheperd he doesnt trust ppl he dont know but i dont think he will bite anybody as long as they dont corner him i know someone who was attacked by a pitbull she said that she played with them a lot and dont know why they attacked her [Edited 10/20/2008 1:03:26 PM PST]

barbarajt Rochester, NY age: 39	i myself have handled 100's of pitbulls, i have never been bitten..nor have i been bitten by a german shepard but i also dont rough house with other peoples dogs, only my own because i know him .i might play tug of war but when someones dog is getting over excited i stop..my dog i can get nose to nose with him and play tug of war and growl with him, he wont flinch at me. but i cant say someone else could do it, kids play wrestle with him but they dont get in his face.but when hes told to stop,thats enough he sits right down, if a dog isnt trained well they arent the one to wrestle around with.any breed you get they have to be taught to behave and listen to commands..if not the dog isnt stable to play with..so again ill say its the owners not the dog.

1st_breath Saint Louis, MO age: 51	For the most part many breeds can be poorly trained. Most pits are stereotyped as bad dogs because because they are known as fighting dags. They also have the instinct from birth to kill another animal. I had a friend who never trained his Pit dog to fight. Although the dog was friendly around people, it did get out on two occasions and killed tow animals. One cat and the other a fairly good size dog. I think these dogs should simply be kept away from other animals and hopefully they will be just fine. Shepherds are a one person dog and their instinct is to guard. I have a mix and he's very much a guard dog. Living alone, I appreciate the protection.

tnrebel Soddy Daisy, TN age: 37	I had a red nosed pit. Got her when she was 8weeks. She was the runt. She wouldn't hurt a flea. She was the best dog I ever had. My 1 year old would crawl all over her and all she did was lick her. Any dog can be dangerous, it all depends on how they are raised.

fairyshy Katy, TX age: 43	I have mixed emotions on this subject. I used to think it was how they are trained and I still am not sure that I don't still feel that way. Here is a story behind my feelings. I had lived in an apartment and was buying a house. I worked on an apartment community when a pit bull came to the office doors. It was our policy to not allow pit bulls on the property. I told the maintenance to put the dog on a patio of a vacant till I could take it to the shelter. About ten minutes later the dog came right back to the door. I decided to go ahead and keep the dog since I was closing on my house in 3 days which was in June. I moved into my house along with my other dog I had (fox terrier mix named Sasha). I had named the pit bull Crystal which she was about 6-9 months old when I found her. I took her to the vet had her mange treated and spayed and all shots. I later adopted a staffordshire terrier from the shelter which I named Ruby. Every weekend I would put my cats in a room and leave the back door open to let the dogs run in and out and play. On December 4th 3 years ago I had done what I always done. I was standing in the living room and Sasha was leaning against the couch and out of nowhere Crystal attacked Sasha and dragged her around by her throat. I tried everything I could think of to get Crystals mouth open from Sasha but I was bitten in the process, my fault of course because I put my hand in her mouth trying to pry her mouth open and she bit down. It took me a while to get Ruby off of her since she joined in because the pack instinct came out in her. Then I went for Crystal again and finally she let go and I got her outside. I ended up having to put down my Sasha cause her spirit had been broken and she was suffering so bad. I couldn't let her live like that. Crystal was taken to the animal control and put down as I couldn't trust her anymore. Ruby was taken back to the shelter I adopted her from. She now has a new home where she is the only pet and no children. It was a very devistating experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I basically lost all 3 of my dogs in one day. I have no idea what Crystal went through or was being trained to do before I found her. So this may have had something to do with that. I really don't know. All I know is this experience left me so confused about pit bulls. I had owned pit bulls in the past and never had any problems like this. I had always thought it was how the owners trained their dogs but after this I just don't know. Sorry for the long post but I couldn't find a way to shorten it to where it was understandable.

You don't know what kind of life it may have had, especially being a pit bull and how people feel about them (either want to train them to be mean or are mean to them because they're scared.) Just my 2 cents. Daniel

barbarajt Rochester, NY age: 39	alot of animal aggression depends on the sex of the dog..alot of breeds are same sex aggressive, i have a staff aka pitbull male... he cant live in the same home with another male... if the one dog is dominant it will go after the others..same sex or not. i dont think it had much to do with being a pitbull..my dog came from a abused background, hes wonderful with people, kids , and most female dogs, but he doesnt like other males.. its their nature

fairyshy Katy, TX age: 43	I used to think that Staffordshire terriers and Pit bulls were the same breed until I went to an AKC Dog show. I found out that they are two different breeds. All of my dogs were females so you could be right. But I sincerely think that she was either being trained to fight and since she wasn't good at it as they wanted they through her out or they were just mean to her. Then again who really knows what was going on with her before she came to me. I was so disappointed cause I took very good care of her and made sure she returned to a healthy state, was very much loved and then that happened.

barbarajt Rochester, NY age: 39	pittbull terrior came from a staffordshire terrior, its a nickname... staffs are the original pitbull! what we now consider a pitbull is any dog thats strong with a big head ...people mistake brittish bulldogs for pitbulls.. a american bulldog staff mix makes a pit bull, a mastiff, staff mix also makes a pit bull.... a standard pit is a staff,,, about 55-60 lbs, and 26 inches high anything larger isnt a pure breed...those pits that are 90 lbs, are most likely to be mixed with a mastiff or a kane corso.. you know whats funny, mix a kane corso, and a bulldog and you got a so called pitbull!! hun pitbull isnt a breed its a nickname given to american stafforshire terriors when they were used in dog fighting rings years ago.so when someone said they have a pure bred pit, if its over 60 lbs, has a chest wide as a eng bulldog and short legsm and a big ol frog lookin jaw, its no staffy!!!

nessie05 Dearborn Heights, MI age: 48	I had a pit bull and he was fantastic pet, they are very family oriented. My nephew has them and they are great too. You hear all the bad stories about them but nobody every talks about the good in them. They really are great dogs and are good with other animals and kids... Any dog can be trained to fight, but these dogs are so powerful so they make the best fighters. But if not raised that way they are awesome.

jazmine911 Winter Garden, FL age: 48	I used to think that until I had a abandoned brindle pit puppy left in my home when my tenant moved out. He tried to make her mean, and had kept her chained up. I wouldn't allow that and took time out with her, finally he left (he was a young and rented a room from us, and his age group seems to want those types of dogs for status) I trained her, taught her tricks (easy to train btw, very smart breed!) She grew up with our German Shepherd, if you ask me, it was the GSD you should look out for, she was the aggressive one, but then again, they are loyal protectors. Now being a new grandma, the 1yr old has grown up with the dog, pulls her ears, tail, chases her with his walk behind toys, even gives her 'belly farts' when she (the dog) is sleeping. Poor doggie just runs behind me or on top of the bed to get away from our 'aggressive one year old" lol. Please see my profile if you want to see a picture of her... thanks for the question.

j_man2u Bloomington, IL age: 43	This is not fair, they are both loving and gentle and the owners give them a bad name. I have seen, The average pit bull through my veterinary experience and my own personal experience, ALL calm, tame, lovable.. Had a neighbor move in, our yards were fenced together and they told me beware of our pit bulls, they don't like strangers. Came home one night after they had just moved in,,, LOL,, The dogs stood over the fence and licked me in the dark of night never seeing me before. I got sick the next summer and the oldest would jump into the swing with me and cuddle.. Yes THEY ARE REAL MEAN,,,,,, LOL J MAN

carthun18 Saint Paul, MN age: 29	Quote from 1haoleboy: All dogs have their own temperments, I've been breeding Red Rednose Pitbulls for over ten years, some are sweet, some are dog killers. Pitbulls are stable. If your dog is mean, or sweet, he will probably stay that way for life. Once your sweet Pitbull has a fight it will be different, don't let that happen. If your dog is sweet and you treat it right, a Pitbull can be the best dog in the world. I have one with a first place ribbon in obedience, he won it against a Malinois, a Bouvier, and a Poodle. He is so eager to please, I have to be careful what I ask of him. Or he would hurt himself. I am against fighting them, I have never sold a dog to fighters, I don't allow any aggression from them. I would never place a Pitbull with a person that can not physically restrain it. I would not recommend a Pitbull for a first time owner, unless they were committed to a training program. I would not recommend a Pitbull unless you love dog training. They do best if you keep them focused. I trained my to weight pull, like sled dogs in alaska, she can pull about 1'400 pounds. when she sees that harness she gets that big pitty smile. Any one that fights dogs needs to be put into a ufc ring a fight to the death. so they can see what they do to them

sissydoll Cordova, AL age: 38	I have not been around many pitts but my neighbor used to have two pitt bulls and when my son was 3,4,&5 he would ride one of them like a pony and she would love on him so much. I was secretly always afrraid they would turn on him but not because of anything I seen in the dogs. Just what I had heard about pitts. These particular dogs were great family pets but there are many that have turned on people for NO REASON AT ALL. And these dogs were Not abused. Do I think they are all a danger? Jury is still out.

Exactly. Dogs are great animals and I've loved the pit bulls I've had. They've been every bit as wonderful as any German Shepherd or any other dog I've had over the years. Any dog can be a vicious dog if it's raised and trained that way by its people. I've known pit bulls that kids wrestle with and dachsunds that'll take your ankles off if given the chance. It's almost never the dog and absolutely never the breed of the dog that causes problems.

beanee Clermont, FL age: 55	I don't have much personal knowledge of Pitbulls; however, I do know that any powerful dog can be a potential danger. Therefore, owning one is a big responsibility. I read in a book on dog breeds that a problem with Pitbulls is that once they do attack, they won't stop the attack until they are forcibly stopped or the victim is dead. There can also be a problem of overbreeding since the breed is so popular. Additionally, many aggressive people are attracted to the breed for the intimidation factor. So of course, with these people, you would have to worry about the type of message the dogs are sent.

tizzlin Wilmington, NC age: 25	only if you train them to be. if you dont they are actually very loving dogs. ive never owned one personally but 2 of my roomates have before and i helped raise them and they were the sweetest things. all they wanted was to kiss and love on you and be close to you. the reason people think they are so aggressive is because people train them to be very often because if your gonna fight a dog, you wanna fight a bulldog, or rott, not a poodle or beagle

indie07 Bloomington, IN age: 39	I helped my sister rescue two pits.The previous owners were breeding them. So my luck, she was pregnant. So she had her puppies with me. My point is, I have a adult boxer and malamute. Mommy decided to fight my Boxer....3x...I found her very vindictive toward other dogs. There was literally a dog fight. We kept them separate but somehow she found her way to my Boxer. She was good with people. But we blame it on hormones. Then she got in a fight with my Malamute....then Daddy jumped in. I almost got bit by my Malamute but she didn't clamp down when she realized it was my arm. But I couldn't pull her jaws and she put a gash in my dogs leg. I was so upset that I was ready to send them to the pound. But she had her puppies. We were able to keep the dogs separated until the puppies got old enough. But I trained the puppies to be paper trained. They were the sweetest. My parents were good to people too. I was able to adopt the pups out and I kept the runt. And she is so good. But everyone tells me, get them fixed. But I agree, any dog can turn on you but I have good dogs.
