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
I mean I understand I really do. Jus hard to fathom not liking say all people that have green skin. Bc a green skinned person say killed my mom. Not all green people are murderers. Just bc one green person done something horrible to me or my family. Doesnt mean that one day maybe a green person would save my son's life per say. Idk I guess I'm biased too. Bc I love them so much.

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.
My bad, I didn't mean to insinuate the bite was your girlfriend's fault. I also use the term "drunks" rather loosely so didn't mean it to sound so harsh and I also was wrongly assuming it was party scenario with a lot of people drinking. Bad things happen with alcohol involve and so I don't have my dogs around multiple people boozing it, same with people on led, I don't trust people it has little to do with the dogs.

I do stand by the it's totally the owner's fault. I hope they're paying the medical bills at minimum.

The thing is, pitbull attacks are sometimes lethal, and there's many instances where they've turned on their loving owners. That capacity is not something I look for in a pet, dog or otherwise. These killings have all happened recently. If the owners had instead owned a couple maltese, these folks probably would have survived. :eyesmoke:

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.
In that scenario, you're 100% right. No dogs should ever just bite a human. I fear the dogs might not have been socialized properly or sometimes there is a tick. Sorry to hear that this happened.

I couldn't go the Maltese route, lol.
I'm kind of an asshole so I'm going to say those pit bull owners were either idiots or shitty ass people that mistreated their dogs. I've own, my friends have own many many pits and never once was there even a person bit. But all the folks I do know that own pits that have bitten people or have been bit by pits are trashy people. I know that is just my experience but if a dog, any dog, turns on you, the owner, then you're a horrible person and you were probably beating them or starving them.

That being said, I do agree that most people should not be allowed to own pitbulls. Just like I don't think just everyone should be able to own a gun or adopt a kid. But I feel the same way with any breed over 75 pound that has been historically bred to pit fight.

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:
been a meter reader, only had to do it twice, but the maglite flashlight shoved down the dogs throat will cause him to loosen up, or at least it did a Great Dane named baby. I ain't gettin bit. Ive also seen a big ole boy knock a german shepherd out with a punch to the head, no shit, but he was a big ole boy, meathooks for hands. I think the eye thing would work, Ive seen guys kicking 40 yrd field goals on dogs and they not let loose.

These are close resemblances of my dogs. But google photos

I have a dogo argentino (100# all white. Loves tugawar, biggest baby ever). Mine has his ears still 5B552606-656D-4005-AE48-EE9E2ECA88E3.jpeg Have a blue pit (85# he loves to swim, hates baths:dunce::finger::wall: also a huge baby) same has ears still7E65FB4D-BF96-4A2C-A433-9B824326CF3F.jpeg

Also have a 65# German Shepherd (mine is more tan in the face)
229052E0-1A38-44CB-800F-982BD322634A.jpeg
The German is the youngest @ 3 yrs he is also trained similar to a police dog. He will attack on command ( pray I never have to give that command) he is also scent training. command ”maryjane” and he finds my bag. Command “find the baby” ( she isn’t a baby anymore) and he will search for my daughter. Command “where’s the bitch” he finds my wife. ( since she is in the woods hiding for him to find she doesn’t know this command :bigjoint::blsmoke:.

My dogs have never shown aggression towards another dog or person. ( small critters are another story). It’s all in how the animal is cared for, and their bloodlines some pits are the stupid dogs I’ve ever seen some the smartest. Same as people!

dude...did you even click the links?
I have read these articles and others, the media only really covers stories of “bully breeds” attacking. Do you know labs bite more people in the us every year than pits do? Everyone can like any dog they want, I’m not here to argue just to give my 2 cents. Pits are generally given a bad rep, a lot of this falls to dog fighting and the fact that there are more pits in high crime areas. But again that all comes down to the owners

They may not bite as often but the fact is they are responsible for killing/seriously injuring more than any other breed. Im sure a google search will show that. I have a pit mix but its not the owner, high crime areas or the bad rep.. its the jaws

I said it awhile ago, any dog will bite but its the difference between cleaning it and putting a band-aid on and having to go to the emergency room.. my dog will not let go of something until I tell her to..

I know a guy who was attacked by a pit bull. He was family friends with the owners, and had known her since she was a pup. He was nearly as close to her as the owners. He was playing with her one day, and without clear provocation, it became more than play and she attacked him, messing up his face. He was honestly lucky to have survived.

I don’t want to say people shouldn’t own them. I have owned plenty of pythons, including ones 10+ feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. But like owning giant snakes, I think owners do need to realize additional responsibilities come with these dogs. That includes not letting a dog that will react defensively when it encounters a skittish person, not to be out in public.

I agree its not about the number of bites, as it is the number of serious injuries and deaths. Those jaws are like a chainsaw vs a jigsaw. It does have a lot to do about the raising. A lot of people here fight them and theres also a lot of people here that raise them as gentle house dogs. Even the gentle dogs have that stranger type element where if they don't know you , you better get the puck outta there! I feel safer not having my kids around any dog they don't know , especially pits. I do feel if a child was raised around a pit from day one there's very little chance of a bad incident.
