Pitbulls?
Anyone have a pitbull my friends brother has a pure bred and is trying to find someone to breed her with this isnt why i posted though. I was wondering if i should buy one i know i can care for it i have raised 1 dog from a puppy to 10 years and she is beggining to get old and is really showing it  ...I was wondering if there is any special things with them from other dogs that they need or do or w.e. Whats a resonable price for a puppy? Also where can i find on the web to train it if i was to get one i want her to be a watch dog one of the ones the cops have  . The one my friends brother has all he has to do is say "watch" and if you get to close to him she will bite you and then let go. |

There are SO many unwanted Pit Bulls in the world now...Please tell him not to breed his!! If you want to do something good for the breed, go save a puppy in need of saving from the dog pound and encourage your friend to get his dog fixed so it won't make any pups!
Never ever train a Pit to be mean or to bite. They will protect you automatically if they need to.

I don't agree. Though it is obvious there are many well-behaved pit-bulls and caring owners (such as pictured here) it has been demonstrated to my satisfaction that pitbulls have a kind of genetic 'kill it' switch, hard-wired in their heads.. and in some circumstance, unexpected and even very unlikely, that switch gets triggered and they attack with the intent of killing.
.
I'm thinking I may have mentioned this before in a similar thread but here's an example of what I'm talking about.. I had a female pit, very playful and attentive and never showed agression except to other dogs who would come by and mark the fence..a real tail-wagging lap-dog.. she happened to see a concrete rabbit that I had in the garden (she had seen it before many times with no reaction), this time some different angle, shadow, smell in the air pushed her buttons and she charged it and attacked.. she would not let up and broke off the concrete ears (and one of her canines) in the attack..
.
Now these are powerful animals and matched with that kind of blind ferocity they are dangerous.. imagine if a child had been the target? That's why pit-bulls aren't for everybody.
.
Just my opinion....

As long as people keep the animals fenced and properly trained, I don't have a problem with pits. But I agree with Gus that there is a "switch" in their brain that can flip for no apparent reason. I would consider them a potentially dangerous animal and hold them in the same catagory as venomous reptiles and crocodilians.
Maybe I am just jaded because I was on the receiving end of a Pitbull attack.

I personally love pits, but you do have to respect them. I would be very careful espiecally if there are children around.

I agree with Gus. I don't believe they should be open purchase animals.

When i was attacked, I had the random luck that there was a tire iron on the ground next to me. After it tried to rip my leg arpat, it went for my throat. I managed to put my left arm up when it went for my throat. While it was trying to tear my left arm off, I was able to grab the tire iron with my right and smashed it in the head as hard as i could. It sounded like I was hitting concrete, just a loud "PING". It let go, backed up, shook its head, gave me a confused look, and went about its business. Guess it takes a whack from a tire iron to flip the switch back off.
