The youngest is always chasing things , the older ones could care less... he got clawed by a coon , mole or a cat, something on the property ... just missed his eye almost went blind in the country after being a rescued from a city lol ironic

Like three stitches inside and three outside the lid, always something :)

It was like he didn’t even care , notice or acknowledge the pain, then runs into the bedroom and rubs his face all over the blankets like they do when they come in from the rain ... split it open more blood everywhere lol

Never dull , a pitbull who was a rescue, an American bulldog mixed with a pitbull and a pure German Shepherd

... but I don't trust pitbulls. No way. A true and very recent event: My wife and I were at a local ski lift this summer where there is a little bar that is open in the off season so a lot of hikers go there and many have there dogs. A couple had there beautiful pits there -- the dogs still had tails and ears, well groomed, etc. Great pitbulls. I asked if they were friendly and may I pet them. Sure you can. So I did and the dogs were great. I went back to our table and continued drinking my beer while me wife went to pet the dogs. She had no problems until she stopped petting and was about to leave. One of those mother fuckers chewed up both here hands and one wrist. This was unprovoked and we have dogs and know how to act around other dogs. Pitbulls are like retards packing flame throwers. After the stitches, and 2 trips to the E.R., she has only minor scars and some scar tissue in the palm of one hand. Fuck those dogs - they should not be around anyone or need to be put down. The owners were MORTIFIED and totally did not think their dogs even had the capacity to do that.
This is why I never allow drunks around my dogs. I don't trust people that drink. Either way blame the owners, period.

grew up with an ole pit, Ralph. Great dog. Laid in the floor, in the yard, outside everywhere with him, he was like an ole hound dog. But another dog couldnt come in the yard and I mean in the perimeter, we'd find him dead the next day, Ralph might have some cuts, but he be alive. Big puppy to humans. He got ahold of the neighbors German Shepherd, which I liked also, but by the time I got there, he locked in on throat. Had to go tell owner and then helped bury and liked to have fought three diff times over it, lol. I had told him previously, if you let Duke loose, be with him or keep him in your yard. Best guard dog I ever had was a Kerry Blue Terrier. that dog would lock in just like a pit. I hear in the cities they use them now instead of pits cause they are good guard dogs that dont' look mean. I just love dogs. And herb.

Blaming an entire family of species bc of 1 or 2 dogs, I'd a little over board. Sorry that happened to your wife. But that couldve been any dog. That's like saying bc black people get arrested more they shouldnt be allowed in society. Completely unacceptable as human being.

Because your dogs may attack someone that has had a beer? We weren't drunk - we just were having lunch and a beer - not like we were partying and sloshy drunk or something. The dogs were friendly... right up until one of them wasn't. No provocation, no threat to them or their people. Just chewed up my wife.

And we like dogs! We still have 2 bulldogs (an English and a Frenchie) after having to put down our rescued Olde English bulldog.

The only difference is that most other breeds dont inflict the same damage.. I have a pit/aussie shep mix.. ugly and sweet but I know that she can kill if she perceives a threat or snaps..

I know this is a little off topic but didn't one of the breeders, on IG, dogs bite off his wifes ear? Idk if the breed was ever mentioned but sometimes good dogs will bite for little/no reason.. Like I said, I own a pit mix and know if "little" Jade takes a bite out of something she will cause more damage than other breeds.

where Im from you can walk up the street and buy a pit puppy for $150.. There is no regard to good breeding practices etc.. treated like little more than a cash crop :(



Anybody watching the game? Any gamblers?

I agree - any breed can bite, but pits have a better, more efficient weapon than most dogs and I would venture to say they are better at violence than most other breeds of dogs.

I also don't trust blue heelers - but I am not in fear of my life -- they just will herd me into a corner somewhere! LOL

Is your spouse generally a bit high strung, was she nervous? Dogs communicate on a more empathic level, cuing off body language and nervous energy. Nothing against her, just wondering. In Iraq we had a GSD named CUJO, that dog would go nuts if anyone wasn't 100% ok with cujo. Now that dog was a combat vet and probably was more wound up from it than I am, but your behavior dictated cujo's behavior.
I'm very sorry that happened but it could have been any breed.
love pits, have a pit/lab and a boxer/mastiff rescue running my home now. Recently lost my Dogo Argentino 2 years ago. I miss him so much and will have another when the time is right. Still cant look at pups without crying but I have ptsd related mood swings.
The pit lab would have been a great service dog. When I get to loudly angry about stuff he comes and sits next to me and puts a paw on my leg as if to say "dude, chill" Works every time.

20181003_205251_Film2-1.jpg Never been much of a dog person, but I can appreciate that bond. Sorry for the recent losses.

Don't judge a bud by it's cover.20181003_201629_Film2-1.jpg
Bag appeal means nothing to me. This blizzard bush is killer. Perfectly potent.

Whenever I catch myself taking all this so seriously, I smoke some bb then fill the room with this:20180930_125000_Film2-1.jpg
It's like a big hug from @Gu~ himself.

Everything is better, now.

pits are actually not at all the most aggressive, but they can absolutely finish a fight- especially that lock jaw they can employ- I like to carry around one of those squeeze lemon/lime juice things, just in case- never used it, but I think squeezing some in their mouths might get them to let go

My wife is totally calm and happy around dogs. We are not young party people or anything like that and have a lot of years experience with dogs. I understand your question, but in my opinion there is no reason that dog should have gone off like that. And the dog was fine and happy during the biting and after - not pissed off and out of control or anything.

Last I heard the breed most likely to bite you is a Dachsund.

I knew somebody once that saved a dobie, who's previous owner was a drunk and used to beat them severly- the slightest scent of alcohol set him off like crazy- not saying this is the same thing, but you never know...

The only things Ive seen work is a thumb thru the eye socket or a hard kick in the balls/pussy.. When those jaws lock a little lemon juice is just gonna season the meat lol :eyesmoke:

Pits are about the baddest mofo's in the doggy world.Just because one is the toughest SOB on the block does not mean they should be condemned.They get their bad rap due to stupid humans.
