Pit Bulls are so cuddly!!! Breed more of them.

[muppy]

if there is one thing I have learned from this thread is there are people who would prefer my dog dead because she happens to be a purebred American Staffordshire terrier. I could draw comparisons with she having a golden retrievers temperament. Meaning extremely non reactive to much of anything except pets and her food dish. Oh and leashes for her walkie walkies. SWEETEST Dog you will ever meet. Gentle even. I call her my canine Xanax.

 

I would hope that all you pittie haters would cross the street when you see one. Because the owners of said pitbulls want you nowhere near our dogs. You stink of hate.

 

I'm protecting my dog from YOU.

Let’s see some links to people saying they want pitbulls to be killed. 
 

I don’t recall anyone saying that in this thread.

you seek to end the breed. Hence no killing involved with that RIGHT. okie dokie gugny. I expect that you would shed zero tears in any case. less risk to the public TCK

 

you are arguing behind a technicality that no pitbull eradication squads have been formed. lol

 

whatever.

I’m calling to make it illegal to breed them. 
 

No one is asking anyone to kill any dogs. 
 

Get an el grippo.

owning a bully breed is a responsibility that some owners don't realize and aren't willing to spend the time to socialize or do right by these dogs. They are commodity to too many unscrupulous people.

 

Backstory warning  🙂

 

so I receive a call from one of my contacts in rescue who said 2 dogs were being driven from Coachella to San Diego for rescue. I took the female and she took the male who was her son.  Neither dog ever left the rescue. I foster failed and so did she.  SO they decide to do a DNA test on the son. It comes back he is a purebred Staffordshire terrier 3 generations PURE BLOODLINE .

 

so my pumpkin is also purebred. She was a breeder dog some dude used and eventually she ended up at this shelter in Coachella. I thank God for her every single day.

 

with that, arrive derci. au revoir sayonara.

I'm proud to have my American Staffordshire Terrier. @muppy and I know they are wonderful dogs. Ending the breeding of them is stupid and a mistake. I have been attacked and blood has been drawn by a former roommate's Chihuahua, never from my own dog and my sister's purebred pitties. 

 

And those that disagree with Muppy and me, you're being racist. Racism is the demeaning of another based solely on their race/breed.

for conversation sake Draconator I am out of rescue.  It was a lot of work because I took the responsibiliity very seriously. I already have to be careful of falling and the strong pullers I just can't. anymore.

 

the dangerous ones clearly exist and it gives me shudder and HIGH anxiety because I know its the prevalent thought. For reasons stated and inferred. 

 

 

the fact of both pumpkin and bucky being pure was something NO ONE expected. Total shock like WHUT kind of surprise

 

that's it for me. gracias.

I want nothing to do with this racism reference.  It is a loaded word and not my thinking in this regard.

How many people died last year in chihuahua attacks? There is a reason why guns are regulated and not bananas despite the fact that a banana can and has been used as a weapon at least once.

It not the breed. It's the owner. But the same thing can be said about gun control.

It is the breed.  One breed is capable of killing a human being and the other isn't.  This is the heart of the discussion. Chihuahua and toy poodle attack discussion is just obfuscation.

and the fighting continues...

What if the chihuahua has rabies or some other disease, and their bite to a human can be fatal over a period of time? All dog breeds are capable of death.

How did you get into my bedroom?!?!

A friend and his family adopted a shelter pit bull mix. Friendly, happy dog. That's what they said. So as a dog lover I started petting him in a normal way and two of them in unison say something like, "I wouldn't do that." He'd bit the last person who did the same thing. No serious injury, but drew blood. (They no longer have the dog.)

My question: why don't people file down their teeth? After all, a lot of dogs nip and even bite. The problem is the "pittie" (kind of an attempt to cutify them) can seriously hurt or kill you when they do it. When I suggested this, people acted like I was Dr. Mengele. But really ... why not go all Hermie in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on them, de-toothifying the Abominable Snowman? Isn't a live/happy/relatively harmless pittie better than no pittie at all?
