Several of you came to this forum after a thread about someone acting somewhat questionably with their dog and then posting in a rather rude manner about one of the responses they got.

For starters, my initial response to seeing an APBT in Lowes where I live would be to look for the nice little blue or red bandanna around the pup's neck under the camo sweatshirt.

My second response would be to call the manager to get the dog and owner removed from store property. (Yes, I know, just the attention they wanted)

Not because the dog is an APBT, but because there's a high likelihood that the dog and owner aren't there for good purposes.......

Just like the sudden influx of APBT owners on this board aren't here for good intentions, but rather to cause issues.

Anytime someone starts talking in catch phrases like "breed of choice", it sends red flags up. My breed of choice is whatever mutt happens to catch my attention when I'm looking for a pup (right, Lady?). The phrase is itself is nothing more than a challenge. It's MY CHOICE, what right do YOU have to disagree with me.

Sorry, I'm not going to extend the warm fuzzy greeting, witnessed too many troll saturations on too many websites, and frankly, unlike my sister, I'm not of the opinion that warm welcomes change anything.

Want to be welcomed?

Stop posting threads that are blatant challenges, post pics of the pups, stories about the pups, and join in.

If the threads continue, my ignore list is going to go back into use.

Love the pics of the pups, hate the blatant trolling that's behind them.
WOW!I guess I can pack my bags and leave then,since I am one of the so called APBT owners that are here just to cause issues.
I don't think Marty started this thread to cause issues.He has asked opinions about this very same thing on several APBT websites.Why would he not want ya'lls opnions as well?
I did not join because of anything that has to do with Lowes thread.Why are you even bringing that up in this thread?What does that have to do with chaining dogs?I joined to talk about my pets whom I love with other people that love their pets too.Just because I also belong to gopitbull does not mean I came here to talk trash or start stuff.I belong to 3 other pet websites as well.
Why does someone saying they have a breed of choice send red flags?
Actually nevermind.It will just make it seem like I'm trying to "cause issues" in your eyes.

Marty no I don't chain my dogs or think I ever would.But I've never been in your situation before.So who can say what I would do if I were you.
Love your dogs!
