fucking with one of my GF's kids, BUT if someone tried fucking with one of the kids, Haprer would probably
be all ovar their ass in seconds.

With that being said, I had two Black Labs that i could probably say the same about had they ever been
around kids. They do become very protective.

I love the protective nature of dogs. One of the things that draws me most to them. But, that protective nature is also how attacks sometimes. Two kids are playing, one a little bigger, the dog incorrectly reads a threat. Happens a lot.

My dog is a Lab (see my avatar) and he reacts to the TV only when a baby cries. He ignores it until a baby starts crying and then runs over on alert. What are you doing to that baby? Why is that baby crying? Total instinct on display.

I very much agree with you. When the kids have their friends over, If myslef or the GF are not in the room with them, neither is the dog.
Also when outside she is on a very short leash. But is that because she is a Pitbull, could this not be said about most breeds?

I was prejudice against pit bulls, now I have loved many.
They are so loving, loyal, funny, smart...
so smart but mostly just very in tuned to their people.

My story is similar to Wolf's. Miss Lucy Lew came to me at a time I was injured
and I had never known a dog so watchful of me, supportive and enjoyed being needed.
She was a stray who had had a tough time.
Being a dog lover I see personalities in them like a humans. Each with their own character,
needs. Traits to give. Pits need a purpose. Dogs like humans do not do well being ignored.
Like us they learn right from wrong and like us they want to please. And like us they
are individuals.

I would now argue that Pits are one of the best breeds to own, IF you are willing to put the time in
to train them.

My pup has been to the Vet 5 times in the last two weeks and has had two operations on her left eye. (she was born with a cherry eye).
Every time i take her in there every one of the Docs, and assistants stop what they are doing and come over to her.
As much as i loved my former babbies, they never did that with them.
I doubt these trained professionals would be like that with a breed of dog that is "mostly bad".

Absolutely. This time it was pitbulls. The next time it could be something else. Read an awful story about a great dane a week or so ago. It happens.

people like michael vick are the reason why pitbulls have a bad reputation...

The only dog I've ever had try to hurt me, is my GF's friends little chiuaua mix.

That thing has made me bleed a few times. Little fucker.

Then again, the owner should never own a dog. My girl pretty much has taken over caring for the dog now.

chadwick

idiots those people. if you have a pack of pitbulls you do not raise small children. only a fool would have both at the same time. well now this shows what can happen when pits go into a full on frenzy attacking a small child whom is innocent as it gets. pitbull owners like these people are basically brainless.

when my brothers started having kids me & dad got rid of our snakes & bigger lizards. we had a reptile zoo like going on. no more snakes & no more monitors.

actually raising dogs & kids at the same time is a gamble. and if you have a badass dog it is very much a huge gamble & the kids will lose

Oh bless her little heart...she's simply beautiful Wolf. You both have a new lease on love and life.
This is wonderful news after your losses.
I cringe when I hear stories like this for the obvious reasons but also for the ridiculous bad rap
some will give the breed. Our vet, regarding mixed pits, have been excluding
the pit part of the breed in the records. This because of the prejudice and bans in place.
So Lucy is not listed as a Shep-Pit but an Akita mix. But she's more like a Palomino horse to me,
my great big beautiful girl!

Our vet has her listed as a "boxer mix", so i can have the records if i need to move some place that won't allow "aggressive breeds".

Okay, BAN THEM!!!! :twisted:

Right after I posted the last post, the GF emailed me saying that "Your baby girl chewed a giant hole in the couch today".


She just got a cone off of her head after wearing it for 2 weeks, what does she expect?!?!?

i agree. i read a few weeks ago that he is allowed to own a dog again. recently people protested his pubic appearances and threatened him, resulting in the string of appearances being canceled.

small price to pay for being a monster i guess.

chadwick

pits straight up scare me when i see them & they have charged at me & i have barelly excaped & only & only a pitbull has ever been crazy towards me. i do not have the time of day for a bullshit pitbull.

i've often stated i would have blew a hole into their nasty ass heads if i had a gun on me.
