NONE - Page 3

Service dogs...........I hope that list excludes police dogs that are biting as part of their job - duh!


I imagine they are also excluding a poodle-doo mix......numbers would be too low to bother with......

I'll wager I've personally trained more pits than anyone on this thread, and while a bad pit is a very serious dog to contend with, the same could be said of many other breeds, especially gamey dogs with high prey drive. I've met just as many cream puff pits as I have prey monster pits. As I look over the scars on my hands and arms that I have accumulated, I see: chocolate lab, malinois, boxer, lhasa apso, GSD, cairn terrier....not one from a pit.  I have had more trouble with dog aggression from them than human aggression, by far.

I find this list to be quite accurate!

Small dogs bite more, but the bites don't tend to be as bad......

I've met just as many cream puff pits as I have prey monster pits.

I will not own another......not worth the risk for me.

Sitasmom- Here is the CDC and AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) take on breed specific bites: Now read it nice and slow to comprehend! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CDC AND AVMA:
“OUR RESEARCH DOES NOT SUPPORT BREED
SPECIFIC LEGISLATION.”
Almost every proponent of discriminatory, breed specific legislation relies on one ten
year old study to make their case1. Both the Centers for Disease Control and the
American Veterinary Medical Association have warned that the findings of that study are
not an argument for breed legislation of any kind.
Why debate what the experts have already concluded?
THERE IS NO SCIENTIFICALLY VALID EVIDENCE AND NO REASONABLE
ARGUMENT TO SUPPORT BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION.
For a better alternative to breed-specific policies, the CDC recommends “a community approach
to dog bite prevention” from the American Veterinary Medical Association.

“If anyone says one dog is more likely to kill - unless
there's a study out there that I haven't seen - that's not
based on scientific data."
Julie Gilchrist/MD, Centers for Disease Control
Co-Author, JAVMA Special Report
“[The study] does not identify specific breeds that
are most likely to bite or kill, and thus is not
appropriate for policy-making decisions related to
the topic… There is currently no accurate way to
identify the number of dogs of a particular breed,
and consequently no measure to determine which
breeds are more likely to bite or kill.”
- Centers for Disease Control Statement
“In contrast to what has been reported in the news
media, the data....CANNOT be used to infer any
breed-specific risk for dog bite fatalities…”

Enjoy you pit...........I put mine to sleep............I will not own another.........to each their own.....

You will not convince me............I will not convince you

We will have to argee to disagree

Hitting head on wall- I don't own a pit! Where do you get this crap? I have 2 GSD'S, NO pits.

JUDGE JOE BROWN HAS A CHART THAT SAYS PITTBULLS ARE KILLAS.

goog e nuff for me........who the hell is judge joe brown???

It's too bad nobody reads that CDC report critically. For example, ALL of the reports used as evidence came from the PRESS, who we know are a tad hysterical. "Attack" means anything from scratching to beheading.  If you read the report very carefully, all the way to the end, the writers of the research clearly state that none of the evidence is empirical. It's just freaking gossip and should not be used to support BSL.

Nobody with a dog should support this kind of hysterical sensationalist crap. It only encourages politicians and insurance companies to write lists of dogs that cannot be trusted, which incidentally includes GSDs. Be careful about who you make gross generalizations about, because it's going to happen to you before too long. 

Speaking of anti dog, sensationalist crap, did you see that the instigator of the anti dog legislation in California, Mr. Gavin Newsom, is running for governor? How ya like being in the same bed with HIM, Sitasmom?

Here's my essay on the subject, should anybody be that bored....
