yes.. i understand now.. thankyou.. i'm sorry if i sounded mean but when it comes to animals i get very defensive and sometimes over do it.. but i totally respect you for being a responsible pet owner
I have to apologize for perpetuating the myth that Pits have locking jaws. I have heard Vets. and others who should know better mention this and never bothered to check it out. Stupid.
I still stand by the rest of my statement though. Any animal can…
We were taught to call them terrier pit bulls, especially when adopting them out to people in the humane society. The director thinks it sounds better. It was 100% Pit bull. I took the blood sample myself. The part that snapped was the pit bull.
You…
okay first i have to say that i totally disagree with you in that whole paragraph. pits do not have locking jaws thats a false statement.. their jaws are just more powerful than most dogs.. thats the way they were bred.. thats the way people made th…
I suggest you actually go to the links and read them please. Pit bulls can be dog/animal aggressive but they should NEVER be people aggressive. Please don't generalize.
Pits are a very aggressive breed and they are prone to unpredictable behavior. One of the theorys behind this is that they they are not always capable of controlling their agression and that they misinterpret signs from people. Of course dogs are an…
i need some help please... there is a pit bull running around my neighborhood i tried to get her to come to me but she seems very skittish.. i dont know what to do because i dont want someone to call animal control cuz they might put her down!!! PLE…
it's a risk a person takes when they get a dog and bring it into their home... if they are not aware of these risks then they dont need a dog. so it's still a person's fault in my eyes you can look at it however you would like.
I don't think the statement "It would of been different in a golden retreiver did it" There wasn't any publicity on ths, he kept it quiet and so did the others in my neighborhood that were attacked by there dogs. Several by a lab, one by a mastiff,…
I think in many ways fear and ignorance begats fear and further ignorance. Like Kris said, "It would be different if it was a golden"
A golden, or lab, or english sheep dog would be seen as an isolated incident, the media hears pitbull and its a big…

angel, luke, and laya were found on the street as strays as well were diesel and gizmo. callie and ginger came from my grandfather when he passed. sam, quakers, and kobi were all bought.

Pet’s favorite spot:

Pet’s favorite toy:
angel-her tail, luke- toy tire, laya- sticks, ginger- she's kinda too old to play now, sam- stuffed animal/tennis ball, diesel and gizmo- each other, callie- string, quakers- shiny things, kobi- he doesnt play
Pet’s silliest habit:
angel- she runs around in circles chasing her leg then falls down because she's so dizzy, luke- he runs into walls alot, laya- spins in circles uncontrollably until you give her food, ginger- stares at you without blinking, sam- takes off running at random times in the house, diesel and gizmo- when they play fight, callie- she jumps from the top of the dresser to the bed, quakers- when he chases angel, kobi- doesnt have one
Pet’s sweetest moments:
angel- when she thinks she's a cat and curls up in your lap, luke- when he sits so pretty asking for food, laya- curls up in your lap like a cat, ginger- when she jumps up and down and gets excited to go outside, sam- when he puts his head in your lap and looks at you with those adorable lil eyes, diesel and gizmo- when they groom each other, callie- when she curls up in your lap, quakers- one time he "bowed" down in front of me
I crack up when my pet:
when the dogs run around and act crazy (same with cats)
My pet is unique because:
angel- she's jsut so sweet and she looks at you and acually listens to what you tell her no matter what. luke- he's my dog and he only listens to me and would do anything for me. laya- she has 2 dogs in her that have really bad reputations yet shes the sweetset dog ever. ginger and callie- because they were my grandfathers. sam- when we got him he was so sick and malnuritied that we didnt really know if he was going to make it but he came through everything. diesel and gizmo- they are brother sister and we found them and their mother got killed and we had left them there and after their mother was killed we looked for 4 days and finally found them, so they are just miracle cats that survived all that. quakers- thinks he's a dog but he;s a duck. kobi- he's unique because he's a snake

sounds like the vet needs to look into how he is handling the horses. our vet has handeled many of our fresh, green broke horses and one was put under completly for a similiar procedure but thank god nothing this bad happened. I'm very sorry to hear…
That isn't fair at all.... in my tiny town of 300 people they tried to make strict laws on how you must restrain a pit.. we own two.. the law said you must keep them on a 3 foot long chain, not a rope, when they were off your property (no leash law…
I wouldn't know from personal experience that she won't be but in my opinion very good socialization and as I would put it "extensive doggy training boot camp" at an early age will be the best to prevent any issues and at any sign of aggression corr…
This is a group for anyone who wants to voice any opinion that they have on pit bulls. Whether you like them or not, you have a right to your own opinion . Just as long as you remember, If We Kill The Innocent, We Become The Enemy!
