Pitties are the best and most affectionate dogs ever. I have 3. People who think they're born killers are the most ignorant people I've met.0

The most vicious dog I've had the displeasure to meet was my parents' Lhasa Apso. But it was almost comical. A big dog that vicious would have been a serious problem.0

Seriously... I choose death by falling coconut. That's freaking awesome.
Myth: A pit bull is more likely to bite me than another dog.
Fact:
No conclusive research exists that implicates breed (or breed mix) as a cause of dog bites. In most bite cases, it is impossible to distinguish the dog’s background based on appearance. When breed is unclear, it’s all-too-easy to apply an arbitrary label for dramatic effect.
In fact, dog bites - involving all breeds and mixes - are at an all-time low. There are around 78 million pet dogs in the US, and an average of 30 dog-related fatalities per year. According to studies (more information below), a person is more likely to be killed…
- by a family member
- by a falling coconut
- in a bedroom slipper-related accident
- choking on a marble
- drowning in a 5-gallon bucket
- getting struck by lightning
…than by a dog of any breed.
Who’s really responsible for dog bites? Humans. In almost every case where a person died because of a dog bite, there were steps that someone could have taken to prevent it. Responsible ownership influences good behavior, and every dog deserves to be set up for success!

People are always mixing up the muscular fighting dogs and calling them all pit bulls.0

Theres always one that is consumed by pure ignorance.....
They should be put down before they become adults, pit-bulls are dangerous and not trustworthy.
It's not ignorance, it's factual evidence of brutal attacks
What is ignorant are people who refuse to educate themselves on a subject and who tend to rely on scapegoats to blame for their carelessness and irresponsibility rather than be accountable for their actions and decisions.
An animal that has fighting in it's blood, I will give you the fact that the owner is slightly to blame but you can't fully take out the vicious nature of the breed!
bwahaha please tell us more of your knowledge and right you are....
I feel that way about people they should be put down for violence especially early before it escalates
funny thing is......I'm dead serious
I feel the same thing about idiots. Put them down before it spreads.0 -
It really is a "fact" in Canada that Huskies are responsible for the most attacks, injuries and deaths .......
sorry couldn't help it 0 -
I am scared of these dogs, I can't help it. I'm not scared of yorkshire terriers, chihuahuas etc even though I know the smaller breeds probably bite a whole lot more. The thing is if a yorkshire terrier turns, it isn't going to bite your face off. These things could actually bite your face off.0

Pomeranian kills 6 week old baby girl. Even the small ones can't be trusted. You don't leave a kid alone with a dog no matter what breed.

<The "dangerous" dog in my pic isn't the one facing the camera (Pittie/Rottie). It's the ill behaved husky pup that's looking for a way to get into the garbage.
My husky pup looks exactly like a wolf and isn't far removed from her wolf ancestors (she's a real Inuit dog, not a fancy purebred from the south). The reality is that the husky dogs in my community ARE dangerous. Far more dangerous than any cared for, loved Pitbull. It's a tiny part their instinct (they still maintain wolf-like traits), but mostly because they are neglected, abused, starved, and then pestered by someone.
I love Huskies too, but the point is that the "dangerous dog breed" argument is just completely bogus. It's the OWNERS and the environment, never the breed.0 -

Smaller breeds aren't more prone to biting. Owners of smaller breeds just don't bother to correct bad behavior because it's "cute and funny". Big dog owners don't play that because history has shown what a few bad owners(or wild/abandoned dogs) can do for a breed.0 -
Here is the link with the most fatalities/attacks by breed.
All animals look super cute when they are babies, it does not digress from their inbuilt nature

Oh Twinkie, I just want to give you noogies and pinch your cheeks every time you open your pie hole :bigsmile:
BTW, you can totally find evidence on The Internets to support Raspberry Keytones and Detox Foot Pads!! Go. Research. Godspeed.0 -

I see you didn't look at any of the actual credible sources citing dog psychologists and animal experts that are basically saying you are 100% totally and completely wrong, huh? Of course, why would you. :grumble: :grumble:
Don't get upset...it's Twinketta. I'd just ignore if I were you :laugh:0 -

Absolutely true. My mom had a Pomeranian when I was born and it was so aggressive to me that she had to get rid of it immediately. No, I am not saying that all Pomeranians are "bad". That's just as stupid as saying that all Pitbulls are dangerous. Duh.0 -

That's quite true, and it gives me the shivers to see kids rolling around with dogs. I bet the pomeranian was a pretty much isolated incident though.
Bigger breeds are more likely to do more damage if they bite, hence the bad reps, because they have bitten and done more damage. People aren't going to report yorkshire terrier bites, because most likely they have a little scratch, not a big chunk missing out their face, or another body part. I'm not picking on this breed in particular, I wouldn't have any dog that was capable of more than a little nip around. And all dogs are capable of biting.0
