This is crazy. My buddy let me borrow his pit bull for a couple days after my house got broken into when I was in the process of changing locks and adding a lot of security features and just sort of feeling uneasy at night. The dog never barked or anything, just sat there. Would be interesting to interview criminals and see which dogs would be good deterrents and which wouldn't. I'm guessing they wouldn't care about little yappers but sometimes the barking can throw someone off. Of course they could always shoot your dog, anyway.
When I used to hitchhike a lot I'd always see if I could borrow a dog for a while as an escort and let it screen all potential drivers. It seemed to work pretty well, and I never used a pit bull.Comment

Ok girls and boys, who can tell me how a dog and a gun are different? Anyone? I'll give you a hint: its the same way that a dog is different from a spoon or a bathtub...Comment

Ooohh! Oooh! I know! I know!
A gun is an inanimate object made for a very specific purpose; destruction.
It's potential to cause damage is solely in the control of the user. It'll just lay there collecting dust regardless of whether or not you're arguing with your spouse or your neighbor walks by walking their little yipping Pomeranian or you happen walk by it one evening and inadvertantly startle it. That gun is not gonna get nervous, upset or temperamental no matter how you treat it or what's going on around it.
BTW - Nobody's business whether or not I own any or where I keep 'em.
On the other hand, a dog (any breed) is an unpredictable, living, animate being, capable of "flipping out like a ninja and totally killing" anything unfortunate enough to irritate it. My point is that if you're going to get a dog as a pet and you choose to get a pitbull, then please don't insult my intelligence and come on this forum, a: asking our opinion on the matter and b: suggesting you're getting a pitbull 'cause its a sweet gentle lovable cuddly pet. The purpose of the breed is it's capacity for brutality and destruction. To suggest otherwise is pure bull5h1t!
You want home protection? Get an electronic alarm system. Cleaner, cheaper in the long run, and infinitely more reliable and predictable than any dog and it won't attack your family members.
Bottom line: For home protection I can control a gun or an alarm system a whole lot easier than a dog, so if I want a dog I'll have one only as a pet and not put some unreasonable expectations on it that it can reason like a human and discern right from wrong and what's a suitable target and what isn't. And I'll select my pet from one of the very many breeds not specifically developed for a savage temperament and the physical traits to cause the most damage!Comment

What bullshit osopardo, you even posted a picture of a dog doing shuntzhound training as a pitbull "attack" whose spinning now?
the crap you spout about this breed could be said of Akitas, Dobermans, Rotts or one of a dozen large aggressive breeds thats have killed. These dogs just are not fancied as much by the ghetto culture. And have not exploded due to backyard breeders.
you know jack about dogs osopardo sorry. there IS a differance between dog and human aggression. I am sorry you were scarred by an unfortunate experiance with you friends attempt at a puppymill. BUT PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE THE PROBLEM. You never answered me as to what kind of work they did looking into the pits they wanted to breed. Slim to none I'll bet. Just saw a rednose or a bighead and them $$$ and threw caution to the wind.
heres a pic for you
this is why this breed is being used as I have stated for search and rescue, drug/bomb sniffing, and comfort dogs for the elderly/mentally handicapped.
This is why pitbull shelters are springing up all over the country to deal with the explosion of these dogs due to their fad status, these shelters are run by people who know a hell of alot more about dogs than people who demonize this breed. Talk to a vet or go to a county animal shelter, see what the workers there think about the breed as compared to others.
I NEVER DENIED THE PROBLEM AT HAND, I only preposed a real solution that would work, licensing and regulation of breeders and dog owners, including temperment tests for ALL DOGS like the CGC (canine good citizen), and stricter dog ownership laws. A solution like this would also generate funds to deal with the problem of stray/feral dogs that pass through shelters by the thousands on their way to die.
Or you could just ban them. Banning something allways seems to work, doesn't it? Just make it illegal then the problem solves itself right?
All the funds and resources necessary to eliminate thousands of pitbulls will just magically materialize. What kind of pipe dream is that?Comment
