[SaraNBud]

Never heard of flipping a dog on it back to see how mellow it is, but I will have to do that next time, got any other irish tricks?! lol

[SaraNBud]

[budgie]

[SaraNBud]

LOL. Your kids will end up talking like a typical american, lol. I get teased about my country accent all the time (I know i live in Kentucky and all, but even people here notice it!)

I would definately say the snake.......
Exspecially a large one...lol

[lisagordier]

well, back to the subject. When the regular fare for anacondas are camen (argentina's version of crocidile) and many retics, such as the Rock Python of Africa get pretty large as well. The snake would definately win.

I dunno man. If a 20 some odd foot muscle crushed you, you might just be compact enough to swallow. I'm not saying it's very likely to happen (probably never will), but I don't think it's impossible either.

what about BW smith. lol

woops!

I think that a better matchup would be an anaconda or retic against a Bengal Tiger. Anacondas can take down jaguars, camen, and other large mammals, so a pitbull would be nothing for a full-grown anaconda. I really want an anaconda and if I can get one in about ten years, I will.

What a sick question.......

And by the way, pitbulls AREN'T THE MEANEST DOGS AROUND. But they are the most exploited and tortured, that's for sure.

There are countless true histories of pit bulls that were rescued from dog fighting and still would love people. Here is one: http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petb...s/rustart.html

Feel free to explore that site...

The media did a great service for this breed.

And btw, they have a very high rate of dogs that pass this top of the notch temperament test. Look at the breed statistics here: http://www.atts.org/index.html

There are more people being mauled by poodles than by Pit Bulls. What happens is that when a pit bites someone, the damage is obviously a lot greater.

This is such a touchy subject for me.... I hate to see people still putting these dogs even in "fight ifs" like in the first question, and people still saying they are so mean. IGNORANCE. Keep your mouth shut if you know nothing about the subject and believe every word you read on the sick media.

I had a pit and she was the best dog I ever had. And believe me, I had A LOT of dogs during my life.
