Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old
![]() Quote:
How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant). I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts. |

I once had a lab mix. We were told he was a lab/chow mix but I'm thinking he may have had some Newfoundland in him.
He was only 65 pounds but with his bark you'd think he was 10 feet tall. I had friends who would literally refuse to come into my house after hearing him bark. A random burglar would have never bothered. |

In the survey the type of bark didn't really seem to make a difference, just noise in general was indicated as a huge problem. But I can get the argument that a deeper bark would travel further.

It's not the dog that bothers would be intruders, it's the dog alerting the residents. The deep bark doesn't matter so much. It's the noise. It gathers attention, alerts residents, neighbors etc.

I'd still prefer a deeper bark to intimidate just in case someone is feeling bold or has weapons. |

I also bet that survey was conducted prior to almost everyone having video doorbells and cameras everywhere like so many (me included) do now. I mean, regardless of dog or no dog (we have two that can be surprisingly loud for the fact that anyone could punt them 50 yards), you'd have to be a total moran to break into a house in a neighborhood worth breaking into these days.
