My girlfriend's sister was training one for a guy. Since she is unemployed she figured it would be a good way to earn some extra cash. He came over one day and told her she could keep the dog. The next day he killed himself. She is unemployed and behind on her mortgage payment so there's no way she could afford to keep it. I played with the puppy a few times and liked her personality so we bought the pup from her. Now the puppy has a good home and my gf's sister is caught up on her mortgage payment.

Pit bulls, pythons... it's too bad more states don't allow people to keep big cats and bears in their homes, we'd be treated to stories about parents playing tug-of-war with their carnivorous pets using their children's lifeless bodies.

John Buck 41: wruley: This is a sad story, but the problem is pets are animals in captivity. It doesn't mean they are happy or domesticated. This could happen with a variety of pets, and actually probably does.

I have a 105 pound german shepherd that was trained as a police K9. He was injured during training and retired, and we got him from the kenel through a friend.

He fell in love with my daughter and spends as much time with her as possible, including sleeping with her in her bed at night. He growls at me every morning when I come in the room wake her up. And don't even think about pretending to hit her. The next thing you will see is paws and teeth. The dog is definitely over protective.

If he went insane for just a few, he could kill her easily. Then you guys would be writing nasty messages about me.

We have a 4 y/o maltese/Pekinese mix. Loves us like crazy, but hates/tolerates/likes most other people. Trouble is, she's unpredictable. There's no pattern, whether it's friend/stranger, male/female, young/old. Luckily she loves our 3 y/o grandaughter.

A snake is just a long piece of meat. Any snake that can live in the wild should be illegal as a pet.

spacechicken170am:

That depends are you actually going to define a pitbull as a pitbull or are you going to call anything with broad shoulders a pitbull type dog. The term pitbull type actually encompases over 40 different breeds of dog. See the trick is to lump all 42 of those breeds together into 1 breed. Then you list them along side other breeds consisting of 1 and only 1 breed. This greatly inflates the numbers. I disapprove of pitbull bite statistic shenanigans.


That's still statistical shenanigans. You're basically raising the spcificity to a level that's so incredibly narrow that unless you had a whole lot of those dogs, you're not going to have enough power to make a valid and significant result.

Mind you, I'm CANIPHOBIC. I'm pretty equal opportunity when it comes to being afraid of dogs. So I'm not singling out your pit bull. I don't like your chihuahua or golden retriver, either.

So here's the deal:
H₀: This variety of pit bull is equally likely as any other dog (regardless of breed) to hurt or maim a person.
H₁: This variety of pit bull is NOT equally likely as any other dog (regardless of breed) to hurt or maim a person, meaning it may be more or less likely to hurt or maim a person.

Then depending on which tail of the curve you look at, if H₁ is significant, you can determine whether
that risk is greater or lower than the risk of all dogs as a group.

So we're not saying pit bull versus whippet, or pit bull versus pomeranian. We're saying pit bulls versus everything else you could call a domesticated dog.

Unless you wanted to throw in dingoes, jackals and wolves into the mix for extra statistical spice.

Nope. Not even through with Currsday.

TheWizard: DogS laughter: Sybarite: I don't even consider snakes as "pets". A pet has to be able to form some kind of reciprocal relationship with its owner. Snakes have no idea who you are.

I don't think any cold blooded animal can really be called a pet. I've had tropical fish that would take food from my fingers, but I never thought of them as pets.

I think a bit of the problem is that you are using pets as a synonym for 'companion'.

I'd easily say that almost anything can be a pet, but that very few animals can be considered companions.

You make a valid point. Since I cared about the well being of my fish, I suppose they could be called pets, but not companions.

I knead to here moar of these.

When I was little I caught a Bass out of the local lake. I asked my Dad if I could keep him as a pet and he said I could, but asked where I would keep him (since he was a fairly large bass). I told him I would keep him in the boat's livewell, feed him everyday and bring him fresh water. Needless to say he died after about 2 days, at which point I cried my eyes out and buried him in the backyard. It was probably one of my first encounters with death as a child.

/is it Caturday, yet?

Uh no, Bull terriers, mastiffs, boxers, and any other broad shouldered dog is considered a pit bull type dog as far as bite staistics and the media are concerned. That's not statistical shenanigans on my part. That's statistical shenanigans on the cdc and the media's part. There are 3 breeds that are considered putbulls and they are no more violent than a rottweiler, german shephard, or chow chow. My issue is that if you want to say that pibulls as a breed are more dangerous then other breeds you damned well better provide statistics for that breed and not toss in 39 other breeds. Having all those breeds lumped together give a very high total number of fatal bites simply because of lumping 40 large dog breeds together. They also like to ignore total population. There are well over 5 million pitbulls in this country. That's not pit bull type dogs that's just pitbulls. If you provide only the total fatal bite numbers for the 3 breeds that are actually pitbulls and take population into consideration then we have a different story. Suddenly, pitbulls are not the vicious killers they are made out to be. In summary, adding the fatal attacks of 39 other large breeds of dog to the total number of fatal attacks for pitbulls and then ignoring total population is statistical shenanigans.

I hear there are a whole lot of violent black people in poor inner-city neighborhoods, too. I mean, nearly every single crime that happens there is a black dude. Almost all of them.

Dude, I already said in order to make a valid comparison, you take the stats for PIT BULL (and I'll let you set that definition as you see fit, AKC perhaps?) and compare them across the board. You're still insisting that I'm clinging to the lumpy definition of what a pit bull is (which I don't -- I know what a pit bull is, I live in East LA FFS.

I'm saying let's really look at the stats (to which I know you'd agree). But you aren't automatically allowed to rule out the possibility that (true) pit bulls may be more dangerous than other breeds just because you think a study is flawed. That is your own bias as an owner and aficionado.

spacechicken170am: Well that depends. Some people dock their ears and tails and put them on exercise routines so they look like an east german swimmer from the good ol days. The natural look for an ABPT isn't bad at all. They are a big terrier. They are smart and can be trained pretty easily. Granted most pitbulls are owned by idiots with small weeners there are a lot of people who want a big dog that's not as dumb as a bag of rocks. I'd prefer if pitbulls were not banned but regulated. I think all large male dogs not kept by breeders should be required to be neutered. They are rrespnsible for over 80% of dog bite fatalities.



//what a pitbull should look like



This is pippy, Au Natural (her ears are down while playing). Long tail, floppy ears and 99% muscle. She curles up in my youngest son's bed at night near his head to sleep like an overprotective momma. Whenever I step in there late late at night her eyes pop open instantly and looks me over, then wags her tail to let me know its ok to come in. God farking help the poor dumbass that tries to creep in through the window to snatch a kid, doubt we'll even find his body.

She's the perfect family pet, oh sure she'll kill another dog if it gets within 2 feet of her, but she loves all kids.

DogS laughter: remus: DogS laughter: I don't think any cold blooded animal can really be called a pet. I've had tropical fish that would take food from my fingers, but I never thought of them as pets.

True, but the upside of tropical fish is they don't leave the aquarium and eat your kids. So, that's a good thing to look for in a pet.

I've always loved tropical fish, and I'm rethinking my definition of pet. See above at 04:23:00 PM.

I was just feeding my tropical fish, so I'm getting a kick out of your reply...

EggFool: wruley: This is a sad story, but the problem is pets are animals in captivity. It doesn't mean they are happy or domesticated. This could happen with a variety of pets, and actually probably does.

I have a 105 pound german shepherd that was trained as a police K9. He was injured during training and retired, and we got him from the kenel through a friend.

He fell in love with my daughter and spends as much time with her as possible, including sleeping with her in her bed at night. He growls at me every morning when I come in the room wake her up. And don't even think about pretending to hit her. The next thing you will see is paws and teeth. The dog is definitely over protective.

If he went insane for just a few, he could kill her easily. Then you guys would be writing nasty messages about me.

/Daughter is now 15

Wow. No offense, but I wouldn't let a dog that growled at me live with me. What if she got hurt and you had to pick her up or something?


Agreed. Dogs should never get the idea that being aggressive, or simply growling, is permitted. That's a big reason why we've never played tug-of-war games or allowed "play" growling with our GSD. He's a high-powered dog and it could lead to trouble down the road.

Sounds like his GSD is herding his daughter or protecting her from a perceived poacher/thief. Is the dog allowed on other furniture, just like the humans in the family? Things like that give a dog the wrong idea. It's a dog, not a human, make it sleep on the floor because it is an animal. Get a bed for it if you'd like, but don't let it sleep on yours. Also, they tend to shed a lot, her bed must be covered in fur. . .

Seriously, you're the boss of your dog; your dog should not be the boss of you. This is even more important if you have a large breed that can be very dangerous without proper training & control.
