Yeah, for sure. I just feel like I'm not doing the puppy any favors by not scolding it. It's not my dog though, I just give it attention when I'm over there and it's outside.

I've only ever owned Labs and one Chow/German Shepard mix, so I don't know anything about most breeds. I thought the Golden Retriever was like the Honda Civic or the 1911 of dog breeds though; like, it's so common and bland that it's like getting angry at vanilla or something. I'm thinking I might learn something here!

Pit bulls are great. Pit bull owners should be turned into dog food (many of them are).

"The first dog you picked was American Pit Bull Terrier. It took you 0 seconds, and 1 attempt to find the Pit. The dog most commonly picked first is the American Pit Bull Terrier, and the average time is -40 seconds with 8 attempts."

Am I allowed to be critical of pitbulls because I passed?

I've asked this question before in Pitbull threads and never gotten an answer. Pitbull owners, help me out here. Even if it's absolutely true that pitbulls are no more dangerous than any other dog, why the gently caress would you buy one when you know everybody thinks they're murder monsters? Why not just get any other kind of dog?

I "owned" a pitbull in Italy and she was super sweet and literally never bit anything ever. Like never made even an aggressive movement. I still think they are a terrible breed. I would have never had the dog if it hadn't been stolen from someone who was neglecting it and ended up in my possession. Whenever my wife walks our dog at the park there is invariably some horrible bully breed dog walking off leash who causes trouble.

If some bully breed dog ever attacks mine, I will without hesitation do anything I can to kill it in front of its owners right then and there.

i wish you would actually link all these articles you're quoting OP, b/c i'm trying to convince my dumbass sister that pitbulls can be dangerous

shes convinced that bad pitbull press is sensationalized or something and they're not actually different from other breeds (like, at all). shes one of those willfully stupid people thats really good at mental gymnastics to justify her world-view to herself in defiance of common sense

i once went over a girls house and she had two pit bulls that got up on me and started licking me and i felt like if i blinked at the wrong moment i was gonna get my eye bit out. they ended up being very nice tho



i think like 80% of the appeal is having The Bad Dog so you can walk around town being all nonononono my lil pibbul is jus a baaaaaaby


e; her pits had to be put down and it was honestly really sad cuz they were really sweet dogs

why get a french bulldog or an english setter? people like different things

also my dog has killed 4 people hth tia

I dunno dude, it still seems like painting a giant manji on your car. Yeah, the manji has a rich heritage going back centuries and interesting and important cultural and religious meanings, but most people are just gonna think you're a nazi

My mom has a poodle/some sort of terrier mix. It was wandering the street in front of her house one day. She gave it food and let it in.

I don't think she realizes how lucky she was to be able to even find a non-pitbull dog, much less get it without spending thousands of dollars.

Eddie Cahill, from Portage, Ind., was apparently killed by one of his eight-year-old dogs, Fat Boy, reports WGNtv.com.

The 40-year-old owner was found at home by his wife Bianca Rodriguez.

She had been spending the day with her family but returned home around 5pm.

She found Fat Boy with blood in his mouth and Cahill, whose body was on the living room floor, covered in dog bites.

"They were playful dogs," she said. "One slept with the girls and the other slept with me and my husband.

"I don't want people to think bad of pit bulls. It was a freak accident. He loved the dogs."

drat... a bunch of other dogs must have busted in there and killed that kid, and the pitbull's mouth is bloody because he fought the other non-pitbull dog off with their pro dog fighting skills...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE THE WHOLE THING"

I went to the pet shelter a few years ago, asked to walk a Jack Russell that looked great, once we got outside i fumbled the leash and he took off 90mph somewhere, then some siren went off and a group of people chased him in a jeep. Thought "gently caress, can't believe that just happened." It was quite the spectacle.

Mostly pseudo-random.
All dogs are terrible.

Pitbulls seem wildly hit or miss in terms of behavior. My gf has a pit/lab mix and she's a big softy. Maybe it's the pure pits, but it's always a weird dichotomy of behaviors

If you want a rescue dog from shelter in Phoenix Arizona, or Tucson or any other city or town in the state lines? You are getting a pitbull, it's all there is. Would you like a nice lab? Maybe some kind of shepherd or beagle? Perhaps a boxer or pointer? Better hit up the now illegal puppy mills because our shelters have one type of dog for you! PITBULLS!

Jorge and Jose and Rosa your neighbors just love pitbulls, you see they are real bad rear end "ese" and their unfixed family of pits just made more pits that no fuckin body wants.

So yea, that's why, all the vatos around town helped by white trash California Bakersfield transplants have made it literally impossible to find a dog that isn't a pitbull in this state.

Okay, I'm lying, every 5th dog is a chihuahua, yo quero lovely dogs.

I just looked at a local shelter's website and it's so bad they waive all fees on adopting pits. loving laffo.
