Would be awfully irresponsible to leave a child alone with a dog. Any interactions between the two should be supervised. Your child can’t do much damage to your dog, your dog could kill your child.
I used to read meters when I was in college. I woman I worked with was in a backyard she had been in a bunch of times that had a pit chained up back there. This one day the pit broke the chain and mauled her. She had to get hundreds of stitches and one of her breasts was removed by the dog. The owner afterwards said that the dog had never showed any signs of aggression before. Please don't leave small children near them. Chances are they won't bite but its not worth the risk

Every dog I have ever owned, and will ever own, has been a rescue. I don't go in looking for a certain type/ breed/ color, I'm looking for a connection. In the case of my pit, she walked right up to the cage door and sat down and just smiled at me. I took her to the shelter's social area and just felt an instant connection.
I'm way cool FYI

I got my dog from a pitbull rescue my old boss use to run, it's kinda sad how pitbulls are treated and I don't know the statistic but I think they are one of the breeds that get put down the most, they are also one of the only breads that are banned in certain city's. There's a lot of places that won't let you live their if you have a pitbull. I honestly believe my dog will have the best life possible living with me... He is also a great partner for cardio.

Maybe we should ban large vehicles, because if you get hit by a large vehicle you have a higher chance of injury or death. Everyone who owns a big truck is just trying to look tough...right?

Someone link the dachshund story if they have it, I've gotta see that.

I'm curious as to what your argument is here as well. You keep saying that if he goes to a hospital and checks the records(as if some random person can go to any medical facility and demand this info, lol)it will prove your point. You still haven't provided any data. Do you work at a hospital and can provide some actual data or will you just continue to use "pretty sure" as a factual statement?

If you got T-boned by a Geo Metro, you're likely to escape with far less damage than if you got T-boned by an F350, but it doesn't mean you're more likely to get hit by one or the other.
You’re comparing a chihuahua bite to getting T-boned by a geometro? How bout a motorcycle tapping your bumper at a ref light

The data is in the hospital logs. That is entirely my point.

I wanted a dog that had a high pain threshold (because kids are around), Loyal, athletic, sensitive to leadership. These unfortunately are also the same reasons azzholes fought them.



had to put down the old doge last month.

My point was that eyewitness accounts aren't reliable. Unless you know how they're getting this info or have access to any of it yourself, your claim that they are the top dog in attacks doesn't mean much, particularly if the dogs are reported to be misidentified regularly.https://www.dogexpert.com/problems-w...dentification/

Lots of people cannot properly identify any of the pitbull breeds

I live in SC and in towns the size of that town in OK (20,000 people) you can see it from time to time. Not usually 7 or 8 dogs...usually 2 or 3. We still have coyotes too.

You guys are clearly part of the pitbull crew, and one is a forum admin, so yeah, I'm done arguing here.

I would bet money (srs), that if you did what I said, check the inpatient logs of all US hospitals / morgues, the highest dog fatalities attacks would come from pitbull and pitbull mixes.

Anyway I'm done here.

You've clearly missed the point.

The point is, just because something is stronger, larger, etc, doesn't mean you're more likely to be involved in an incident.

That clear enough for you?

Lmao there's no "pitbull crew" on misc.

How are we supposed to check it exactly? P sure inpatient logs are not just handed out to any stranger or even any family member. And why do you keep ignoring the fact that eyewitness counts are not reliable?

No one is going to neg you again. I'm already on R/C, and as long as you can continue to discuss civilly, so will we. And if we can have a legitimate conversation without insults, I'll even go so far as to remember to rep you next time to offset the neg if you're that worried about it

Also would love some proof on the claim that any trace of pitbull genetics means a dog is instantly more likely to attack.

My point still stands, go check the logs and I am pretty sure I'm right.

If you go to a local hospital its very unlikely they'd have records of any pitbull attacks. There is actually very few occurrences and hospitals don't aggregate information from each other. You really think among the thousands of hospitals they're gonna have records of any of the maybe 300 attacks? There might be data in hospital logs scattered around the world, but there's no proof of that. You only hear about these attacks because these stories get views.

Lets assume your graph indicating 284 pitbull bites happened. Compare that to the estimated 29 people who die daily in the US (an actually tracked statistic by the NHTSA). Maybe we should just make alcohol and Pits illegal and solve all our problems. There is a certain threshold to safety risks in which it is not worth worrying about. If 284 people were killed by different Pitbulls then thats 0.00007% of all Pits in the United States. There are more deaths every year from things that people do everyday that are not a necessity to life, but make them happy than there are from Pits. You guys out on a crusade against Pits should put your energy else where. Though I am in favor of making people actually pass tests before they're allowed to own potentially dangerous dogs.

Still waiting on you to back that claim up
What's your email address serious? Can you PM it to me, there is a mod who absolutely hates me who has banned me last 3 times in a row for absolutely ridiculous reasons, and I wasn't able to contact any admin about it. Any chance you could e-mail me yours in a private message, in case it happens again?

Thanks.
