Another Fatal Attack - Page 2

And now I see you've just rewritten your post. I hate when people do that w/out noting that they've changed it- it makes everyone who posted during the time the old one was up look stupid. ARGH.

This is an article about a Baby being killed by the family Husky.
http://www.ksfy.com/news/local/84866422.html

The above article will not turn into a media frenzy, due to the fact Huskies are not overbred and the favorite breed of every lowlife and irresponsible person out there.
 
 What the public consider to be a Pit Bull, has been and is, being so overbred that the horrific incidents will just continue to escalate.    The great majority of John Q. Public hear the name Pit Bull, and have the same reaction that Red Sable, has in this thread.

As humans, none of us can relate to anything we haven't experienced. Someone who doesn't have experience with Pit Bulls, or those who have just had a very limited negative experience, with a Pit Bull, cannot begin to understand the True breed and what has happened and is happening.

The fact is, with all the garbage so called Pits out there, if one actually searches out a really well bred APBT, it's almost impossibe to find.
 Now if one is looking for some POS Blue dog, who is down from a mixture of Staff and God knows what, then it is as easy as checking Craigslist.  The Blue POS in Florida that killed the 3yr old Baby, is one of these specials.

The APBT breed was already in a Blazing downward spiral, but in 1989 when Casey Couturier came out with his ABR Magazine, with all the American Bulldogs and his big Blue Staffs, the Plague really began to spread.

Back in the day, Heart and along with that, temperment, was what was sought after.  Now, Color and Appearance is what's important.  There isn't anyone out there who even understands what a bloodline is.
  If they think they do, they would only recognize some crap like Gotti, Razors Edge, or some other Freak Sh..

If there would ever be a Study done, on which breed or so called breed of dog, has the most useless and irresponsible owners, the Pit Bull would would win by a MASSIVE margin.

Any peddler could take a Staff and breed it to a OFRN type Pit and get this.

then breed it to a Dog de Bordeaux, or something similar, and just like magic you have what's below..
Now a peddler can throw in some Blue, some Catahoula etc to get a Merle, or any number of ingredients.  I'ts just like baking a cake.   A Cake of Tragedy.

I agree with you Jenni...the media is what hypes things up. If it were a Chihuahua that mauled a kid it wouldn't be talked about cause that would just ruin it for the people that make movies with the "cute" little dogs. They can be just as nasty as a Pitt or any other bully breed. They just don't have the bad rap or the size behind them to make the cut for the media to bother about. My guess is that there isn't one person that reports these storys that is actually educated on the breed. Have they trained any? Do they REALLY know what they are like when NOT trained  for fighting? I highly doubt it. All the bully breeds i have trained have been sweeter then most the Golden Retrievers I have trained. I have been bit by Goldens, Labs cute little fluffy Cocker Spaniels but NEVER any Pitt or bully breed. So it is up to people to get educated ( I know that is asking alot for the majority of the general public) about breeds.For those that don't know and just go by what the ignorant media says shame on them. In most cases....it is the people that are the problem....not the dog.

not pitt
it is apbt
there is a huge difference between ghetto fighting and a sanctioned match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any way, game dogs should never bite humans or like i said before they should be
taken out back and dealt with

Scary...But you're right, the various breeds that are lumped together and called "pitbulls" are not all Pit Bulls.

I have seen many that had \never been trained for fighting, but were dumped at the shelter because they were dog aggressive, or were very threatening to strangers.  You walk by the kennel and they hit the wire, snarling and growling and barking fit to tear you apart.  These dogs have not been socialized at all, which leads them to the shelter.

The biggest crime is breeding for the almighty dollar...Such as the horrific looking monster in the pic above...The prices for these pups is astounding, and they are dangerously unstable in too many cases.  They aren't purebreds, they aren't loved, trained, or treated with any kind of respect...then tragedy strikes and the whole breed takes a dive.  There is no reason to breed a muscle bound monster like that...unless you plan to fight him, or you plan to pull your car with him.

I never leave my kids alone with my Oakley or Misty, and I know neither dog would hurt them.  Just the same, my dogs are not kids, my kids are not dogs, and it's just plain stupid to try and pretend that they are. 

Sorry for the bully breeds and the price they have paid for being tough...I still say that no one should ever get a dog as a compensation for a lack in other departments...A dog doesn't make a person look tougher...And it's not fair to do that to a dog...any dog.

Crys

If someone breeds a Muscle Bound Monster, like the one above to Fight, they are going to Lose their Money!

the dog in that picture would get destroyed dy a 40 pound game dog in less than 10 minutes

we answered at the same time abhay
good answer though

FWIW....Dogs that are in shelters I don't care what breed...will hit the cage and snarl and look like they want to eat you. It is mostly cause they are wound up cause all the other dogs. Happens in boarding kennels as well. There are some I have gone to get at the shelter here that hit the cage looking like it is going to attack and when the door opens the tail is wagging and is all happy that it is going for a walk. Again EDUCATION of breeds,temperament, behavior and what their actions mean. Serioulsy people!!  Take the blinders off!!!
My friends pitty mixes all very sweet
