Pitbulls ??Aggression, Fact or Not???

borziomom:
Sounds similiar to the case I investigated a few years ago and wrote about in a previous post except the owner didn't go to jail and the dog attacked a child that it knew, next door neighbor, so not even a stranger walking by. I agree with a lot of what you say. And it will take many years for the breeders to remedy this if it can be remedied in this (U.S.) country. My groomer even owns a Pit Bull and she cannot bring the dog onto her business property due to the insurance liability because the insurance in this state will not cover this breed in the event of injury to others. Her homeowners insurance will not cover her in case of liability if something should happen involving her pet.

Yea you cant have a pit in the city, and this is a small town. And outside in the county, you have a permit at the sheriffs office. I saw a American Staffy at a dog show, walk out of the ring after taking the breed, and jump at a cocker spaniel with all the mode of pure attack. Shocked EVERYONE including the judge that had just placed him up. He lost his breed position, and of course points. I heard the judge say " I just had my hands on the dog.." he said as you could see he was visibly shaken badly.. And this wasnt a badly bred dog etc- scary to say the least..

he has 110 points, so you show UKC then, right? Imagine if he was AKC as an Am Staff, they'd just about excuse him from the ring. And thanks for informing me on the genetics! I love genetics but I'm only really studdied in horse and Dalmatian genetics right now.

I show both AKC and UKC, but my blue tri is only UKC reg.
I have shown black tri's AKC and major pointed them too.
But, the competition did not like it all!
I love genetics as well..Showed Paint horse for a few years, so you can imagin.
Dogs for 26+ and I have made it a point to learn as much as I can....

Sorry, the fact of the matter is that PIT bulls were bred to fight in PITS - hence the name.

Suggestion , do more research thats not true at all.

LovethatCollie everyone on PT knows how you feel about Pit Bulls we dont
need your sarcasum here nor do we want it. Im pretty sure OP asked for
POSITIVE outlooks on pits so I think that excludes your thoughts.
I presonally think if you cant love all animals you dont belong on PT.. thats
just my opinion.The only time you come on PT is to put down Pit Bulls.

You are kidding yourself if you believe that. That is not all it "boils" down to.

Yes it is. The breed is a amazing breed. Before all these idiots started
fighting them they looked after the kids and were Americas number
one family dog.Its ALL about the ownership. Prayers for YOU and that
you get the help you need.


I think you have been provided with alot of good advice and sites.
Maybe take your husband to some dog shows and show him how nice
Pitties can be and get him to talk to some handlers and breeders.
Theres also a movie about Pits in the movie stores called "Off the Chain"
It shows how good the breed is
