I have known plenty of Doberman/German Shepherd/etc owners and none of them were this way. They are considered by some as "dangerous breeds" and have done their fair share to earn that reputation. I don't know why its just pits that seem to attract so many morons, but they do.

I'm just pointing out its been over a year and you aint learned yet to butt out of things that dont concern you or quit telling outlandish tales. Goes to credibility so to speak.

funny how you quoted him and not the initial aggressor, try to keep it fair would ya buddy.

Hey, I ain't prejudice,we got room in the ring for everyone.

In my line of work I go into a lot of houses. I seen a lot of pits that have been tied to a tree wth a log chain eating the dirt to get to me. I have also seen some that are good natured. One the other day was loose in the yard, so I eased out of the truck and she started wagging her tail. Petted her and just followed me around. I won't own one, but there are some good ones out there

I don't wanna fight anyone, to old for that. Up until about 10 years ago though I'd rather fight than eat.
I just hate to hear people talk about all this banning this and that. I'm more for holding individuals accountable

I don't even own one anymore and haven't in a few years when I got to where I didn't have time to chase pigs often enough to need them. The only dog we have now wouldn't stand a chance with a half grown squirrel but if I wanted another pit and I'm a responsible owner who keeps my dog under control, that's my right

I grew up with pits and also owned many other breeds, curs ( Kemmers, OMC and Catahoula) always were likely to be the most aggressive dogs that I owned. I had a big male catahoula that wanted to kill everything that breathed except me to the point that I could not hunt him with other people or dogs and finally just had to stop hunting him because he wouldn't hunt but simply catch and kill everything in his path and you'd never know it unless you heard the fight or he came back needing stitches.

My first Kemmer was a gift from Mr. Kemmer who I grew up hunting with, if that dog bayed a hog it was his hog period, if you sent a catch dog to his bay, he would forget the hog and try to kill the catch dog and on 2 occasions did so. He also killed a friends grown bull mastiff who thought he wanted to pick a fight.

My ex wife had a cocker that would eat you up for no reason, people would come to the house and while they were walking on tip toes and worrying about a bulldog or Rottweiler that may be loose, we were trying to catch the cocker that would be stalking for the kill

Some of the folks on here will probably remember one of the calmest, friendliest, baddest pig grabbing machines I ever met. His name was Ed and he hailed from Coffeville Al. Dog loved to be petted and abused by kids, any kid would do and the harder they jerked his tail and ears, the better he liked it.

I do think that they seem to be chosen by people who shouldn't have children or pets or oxygen for that matter but the breed is not the issue it's the owners and the bad ones should be held accountable

When people say the dog never showed aggression, to me that don't hold water. Cause most people don't know that much about dogs. You should check out the dog whisperer for a start.
2nd I don't put much faith in them statistics y'all love to quote. Alot are generated by news articles and idiots. I'm sure we can all agree the news either outright lies or there so uneducated it ridiculous. How many articles have you seen were they were talking about guns and were so far off it wasn't funny. To prove this I ask one question. And if you or anyone else will give it serious thought it may help. How has this breed lived and been loved by man for 500 years and once considered the "Nanny dog" just recently become such a vicious beast. Answer that for me please.
