Well somebody posted this and I had to go off on it just because I'm sick of hearing this crap. I swear if I hear it's all how you raise them one more time I'm going to scream.

  Jeffrey SloanThis conveniently ignores the purpose for which every breed of dog was developed. Retrievers were bred to retrieve, pointers were bred to point, shepherds were bred to herd, livestock guardians were bred to protect, and pit bull type dogs were bred specifically to torture and kill; to launch a sustained attack without warning, and not to stop until the victim is dead. You might teach a golden doodle to be aggressive, but it's aggression is going to be tempered. A golden doodle will never, ever break into someone's house to torture and kill all the animals inside. That behavior is unique to pit bulls.

  Jackie Jenkins No it came up on my page and my comment was very similar to Jeffrey Sloans comment. So no it was just me. But I had the same response retrievers retrieve and so forth

  Jeffrey Sloan Thanks Jackie - BTW I also have friends who are pit freaks. We agree to disagree. I'm still waiting for their epiphany. Most people just drink the kool aid until they suffer a catastrophic loss.

  Jackie Jenkins I had to steal your comments and use your wording on the original thread it was just so perfect. The post was related to on Animal Planet special.

  Jackie JenkinsI completely agree with you Harve Morgan I have had friends who were pit bull owners but they also understood what kind of dog they owned . And as a result their dogs were exceptional. But they would not let children around their dogs. They were adult owners was proper containment inside and outside the home. In fact they had several methods of containing the dogs and keeping them away from guests. In fact they did have a muzzle, and if a particular dog had to be in contact with people it had a muzzle on, I had another friend who had a German Shepherd he had a muzzle he put it on his German Shepherd anytime he took it in public. He did it because he didn't want to take a chance he was a responsible dog owner

  Jeffrey SloanResponsible pit bull owners are, sadly, the exception. I've noticed that Akita owners are for the most part realistic about their dogs. They understand they are large powerful animals, and don't put them in a position to get in trouble (with unfortunate exceptions like the guy at Lowes a few months back). Maybe it's because these dogs are reminiscent of wolves or bears, and it's evident that they are not to be trifled with. But with pit bulls, we've got this whole ridiculous conspiracy going on, with people dressing up and posing these unpredictable torturers to look silly (and thus non-threatening) and parroting criminally dangerous propaganda, like the nanny dog myth, and continually putting their neighborhoods at risk with their naive assumption that "it's all in how you raise them".

Believe me I deal with my share of tiny terrors I'm a dog groomer. Some of these little dogs can be quite spoiled and nasty and if anybody pushes them to their limits its me. But there's a big difference in what they can do to me, and what a large dog could do to me. I have muzzles in my shop. When I need to use them I do, usually the dog in question figures out I'm not going to put up with it acting out. I can then remove the muzzle and have no more problem. Will they bite me yes usually it doesn't break the skin. And it's just a bite or a nip they don't go completely postal and refuse to stop biting. It's usually just a fit, or because they're a bit scared.

  Jeffrey SloanMy Chihuahua Bina is a tiny terror with the other dogs. But she's a harmless little dog. Her "aggression" is all bluff. Nothing but snarls and growls and air bites. She sounds ferocious but it's all sound effects. It's maliciously dishonest for pit fre...See More

  Lisbeth Mønsted LarsenI agree with Jackie this kind of ignorant sentences such as the one she mentioned is damaging but not beyond repair .Like you Jackie I react too telling them a few truths to counter act their ignorant myths. Pitbulls are the most dangerous of breeds its all about genetics. In small dogs aggression has two reasons fear and not knowing who is in charge. They suffer from the napolean complex thinking they are a lot bigger than they are most of them can be detrained. However some of them are aggressive because its been bred into them bad bloodlines this is especially true for the popular breeds where there is a lot of bad breeding going on also on some dogs with bad temperaments and other genetic defects something they pass on to their offspring.
