Pitbutts

[Suki Wingy]

duh, how ineducated are you love4BCs, lets educate you. MOST of them were breed as ladies' companions and nannys to kids when fighting was outlawed, maybe you should go meet one, and see their undying devotion and love twards people, and some even other animals (including dogs) BTW, "pit bull" is not a breed, but a term used to refer to many.

Traits can be breed out of dogs in a few generations. The reliable lines have had about 100 years to breed out the urge to fight.

Why let them kill, maul and ruin children's, family's lives?

I can't say I would be upset if they banned them.

I have to disagree here. have you watched ANY of the pit bull videos? One of them has a lot of clips of them WITH their families. Yes, they can be agressive and some are that way, BUT a lot of them aren't that way. Usually it's the owners that make them that way, they can't be shown ANY type of aggression. Have you ever met a pit bull? They are the sweetest dogs on earth and I hope to have a couple in the future.
I am just sick and tired of this BSL!!! When will it ever stop?!?!

Suki Wingy, I'm not "in"educated. Your post was totally uncalled for.

luvofallhorses, yes, I have met a Pitbull. When I was a child, our backyard neighbours had a female. She was bred and had puppies. My friends and I would sit in their dog house with the female and her puppies.

Once again, I'm not stupid.. It's clear that there are great Pits out there, but it's also very clear now to the public that there are bad ones who are ruining the reputation of them. If a ban was going to be put into affected, I don't think we would stand a chance anyway.

They see a PITBULL that ripped the face off of a KID who was merciless against this dog. We see different. We see an owner who did not research the dog they were interested in. Thus, the colours of the historic Pit is unleashed due to no training and having no control over this demanding breed.

yes it was totally called for, and mistyping happens a lot.
you just said a whole bunch of false information and bashed a breed because of it. I wasn't lashing out, I thought it was a very calm and well put post. Here, why don't you visit this site and look at the 400+ pictures of pit bulls and kids and/or kittens

I really don't think it was uncalled for and nobody said you were stupid.

I guess whatever we try to do to try to educate..she'll still think the same. *sigh*

Was that site supposed to make me break down, cry and change my opinion?

[Suki Wingy]

no, just for you to look at. Niño is on there several times.

I am educated, sorry if you guys think otherwise. I thought I lived in a free country where I could express my opinion.

Why are most of my posts turn into arguments?

[Suki Wingy]

To get this thread a bit on track, here are acouple of cute picture of a pit bull mix.

My friend breeds Pit Bulls , and they are great dogs, she sells them for $900 to $1000 so she knows they are going to good owners. People who sell them for below $800 are said to not care who the dogs go to. But Jeda, my friend who breeds them, makes sure they go to the best owners, and she is also a registered breeder.

I cannot believe how stupid these people are - banning pit bulls? They think they are doing a good job - but - really, lots of people think they are down right STUPID. They would be smart if they would just be more careful about who Pit Bulls go to and have registered breeders (like Jeda), but they should NEVER Ban the breed!

being a "registered breder" means diddly squat really.

does your friend show her dogs? weight pull? agility? shutzund? anything competing at all?
are all of her breeding dogs OFA hips and patellas? CERF? thyroid? etc. etc.
does she have a spay/neuter contract for all pet quality dogs or better yet have the puppies spayed/neutered before they go to their new homes?
does she have homes lined up before the male and female even meet?
does she keep in contact with EVERY single person she sells a puppy to til the day that dog dies?
how many litters does she have a year?

unless your friend does ALL of this and more, she's the typer of person this breed does NOT need breeding or even owning.

selling puppies for $1000 doesnt insure a dang thing! look at all these big blue mutts that are bred, people pay OVER $3000 for these poorly bred mutts because they think they're cool and then they turn around and dump them when they dont fit their lifestyle anymore or whatever else. or they breed the crap out of them to make more money

great breeders charge less than $800 and surprise surprise their dogs are ALL in great loving homes, breeders like hart a gold, she charges $800 and she's probably one of the best pit bull/am staff breeders out there.

I am not against banning Pitbulls, nor am I for it. But they serve no direct purpose to us. Why let them kill, maul and ruin children's, family's lives?

Pitbulls - nothing directly, for now, they have taken to mauling and killing

Wow. That is very, very sad to hear.

You say you are educated on this topic, yet these are two of the most ABSURD statements I have ever heard.

I will try not to say anymore, because it is obvious to me and I'm sure just about everyone else that you are content and set on your so-called "facts" and opinion.

BUT, please try to educate yourself correctly before posting remarks such as the two I quoted above.
