Pitbulls shouldnt even be legal to own
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo Why not? Pit Bulls are great dogs, very loving and docile. We need to have
harsh penalties for people that train them to be aggressive.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan "docile" yeah ok. They're aggressive due to genetics
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo ☺️ Look up "Nanny Dog" This is a picture of my dad when he was 3 years old, in 1926 with the All American dog, AKA The Nanny dog.

They were docile family pets, and great with children.

All breeds have some crazies, but 99.9% of bad behavior is from the
owners.

@DogMan There's no such thing as a "nanny dog" a sound can set pitbulls off. Plenty of people raise them right and they snap, I don't want to hear the bullshit

@Rolexeo Do you have any personal experience with them? At one time we had 40 pit bulls
and pit bull mixes at Rocky Dog Ranch. All of them were adopted out to families, we have not had
one problem in 10 years of rescuing and finding homes for bully breeds. I understand people
that are scared of Bully breeds. But please remember, ALL DOGS CAN BITE!

@DogMan Like I said, you don't understand genetics, blaming it on how they're raised is a copout. They were bred to fight, not be "nanny dogs"

@DogMan I'm sorry but statistics far outweigh your anecdotes and misinformation. If you leave your baby alone with a dog then you're just a bad parent and an idiot.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo Oh, so now we are talking about ALL dogs? Got it! You must be young, people
used to leave kids alone all the time. If they had a good dog that protected them, well
thats even better..

@Rolexeo Why does it seem like pit bulls are the most dangerous dog breed?
One breed that has the worst reputation is the Pit Bull. These dogs are often considered dangerous pets because of razor-sharp teeth and incredibly strong jaws. But are Pit Bull bite statistics accurate?

[b]A Pit Bull’s average bite strength is about 235 pounds per square inch (psi), and they make the top of the list for the highest number of fatal bites. However, many experts believe this isn’t necessarily because the Pit Bull is more aggressive but because its bite is more powerful than many other dogs.[/b]

[b][b]They receive a bad rap because they’re often used in dog fighting, which can lead to them being seen as a more dangerous breed. It’s important to note that these dogs are usually trained to be aggressive.[/b] All dogs are individuals, and not all Pit Bulls are dangerous. According to a recent study, irresponsible ownership is the cause of most aggressive behavior in any dog[/b].

[b]Overall, the evidence does not support the idea that pit bulls are more dangerous than other breeds of dogs.[/b] Of course, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious with them. You should be careful with your interactions with any dog, especially if you are not the owne

[@Rhttps://humanesocietytampa.org/pit-bulls-are-2023s-1-breed-in-the-united-states/olexeo] Bully breeds are the #1 breed in America over 18 million.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan Omfg, it's the breed, not the owner, look at the statistics
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo I did. did you read what I posted? There are more Pit Bulls in the US than any other
breed, because of that, and the power in their bite, skews your statistics. Do you believe that
if a few are trained to be aggressive, that it makes them all aggressive? That aggressive behavior
was trained out of them a 100 years ago. You can train the aggressiveness out of a dog, the
same way you can instill it in a dog.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan They're something like 20x more likely to snap. More likely to snap than every other breed combined. There's not 20x more pitbulls here than other breeds. They're less than 6% of the dog population in the U.S.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo 20 Times!!! LOL, That is total Bull Shit! Made up by someone that is
terrified of bully breeds. Probably someone that cannot tell the difference
between American Pittbulls, Staffordshire Bull terriers, AmStaff Terriers, Staffawler,
and a host of others terriers that have "THE PITBULL LOOK"
There are more Pitbulls in America than any other breed 18 million + And that does
not include millions of other breeds and cross breeds that "LOOK" like pit bulls.

@DogMan No, you're a biased moron
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo Love you too, Kettle. 😉
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan *sigh* old man, I'm using actual statistics, you're using anecdotes and feelings, we're not the same.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo One of the neighborhood cats got tangled up with
Jaida, our viscous Pit Bull.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan Ok, that more than makes up for all the children who have either been killed or had their faces ripped off by them. Do you want some picturesor will you keep trying to manipulate peoples emotions?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo I just read a new article the other day, and thought about you.
It was a list of the kindest breeds. Pitbulls were # 3 after Labs, and Great Danes
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan Is that why they kill and fatally injure more people than all breeds combined?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo Hey, I wasn't the professional that wrote the article, but I agree with it.

I love all dogs the same. I have had well over 100, and none of the worst ones
were pit bulls. I make a point of petting every Pit Bull I see, in order to help get
people to see how sweet they are.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@DogMan A professional didn't write the article. A guy driven by his emotions, like you, wrote it. You keep ignoring the facts.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Rolexeo Oh stop your crying. I can't help it if you are afraid of dogs. Stop being a little girl.
