Thoughts and prayers. Nothing can be done.

Mine is 42lbs and is only 22% pitty. It is a logistics thing. He *literally* weighs as much as a 4 month old Pitty. While he wouldn't hurt a fly... he can barely jump high enough to bite the average person's knee much less maul anyone to death.

I say again... that cat would **** me up 10x worse than this particular pitty who cuddles with little baby chicks and protects them.

I'll ask you the same question I did Easy. Is it like the one-drop rule for you where *ANY* percentage of pitty makes the dog a murder monster?

It’s the same risk as owning a Bear, tiger, lion or wolf as a pet.

They’re aggressive dangerous animals. You can’t ever think that they aren’t gonna have their nature come out at any time.

Just not worth it to me

They don’t even have to be aggressive day to day. Last year there was a woman in St Louis who was torn apart by a pair of them after a storm scared the dogs and they ran out of their yard, which had an invisible fence

Because it's not cool to have a breed of dog that can't kill your dog.

Then you have all the Darren's and Karen's of the pit world that come out of the woodwork when one of these shit breeds kills or maims someone about how their cuddly and cute fido that they just happened to name "didhebitecha" wouldn't ever harm a flea.

The dogs feared for their lives. Were they not supposed to murder the first human they came across??

This is why we only have a shih-tsu

Just checking in to see if BigDaddy has posted 10 narrative controlled articles about how pits are just misunderstood.

I'll agree that Pitbull isn't the right breed for a lot of ppl.

However, if you think owning a Pitbull is the same as owning a Bear, Tiger, Lion, or wolf as a pet I need to get some of that shit you smoking. Must be some good stuff.

As I read your first sentence I began immediately forming the answer in my head..which ended up being your second sentence. Other than that, I got nothing for you.

It's my dog in his front yard. He's not wandering the neighborhood - he's in his front yard with the family while we play basketball or ride bikes or whatever.

If he accosts them or sits there growling/barking at them, that's a problem. And yes, that's what I've spent literally thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours training him to prevent. But if they are scared of a dog standing in a driveway, they can simply cross to the other side of the street.

It's a dog outside with its family. I'm not going to apologize for it.

Pitbulls were designed from breeds that were bred to kill bears for gambling and lol's.

Is there much of a difference to a child in the neighborhood or a jogger going by? A human can’t chase down a motivated pit bull and an invisible fence won’t contain one if the switch flips.

I don't have a problem with pitt's, although I've never personally owned one ( just my roommates). We were looking to adopt a dog last year when my Swissy died. Looking on the shelter websites, and most of the dogs for adoption are pitts or pitt mixes. That might be why.
