respect the dogs breed and its natural capabilities and instinct...as soon as you lose that respect you get bitten
i must say, i love bullterriers; their nature in general but again they are in that sterotyped box as dangerous...i can understand it because pitties and bullies are bred for fighting and their jaws lock so they can shake and pull on whatever they have hold of, when my step mum told me to hit 'daisy' the family bullie with a lump of wood if she jumped on the couch, i refused. i use to sneak her up onto the couch in the mornings.
a dogs social behaviour is not only about how its bred (parents etc) but also how its treated as a pup, a traumatic experience for it like being kicked, things hitting it other than a hand, exposure to rough handling (not playwrestling) can be detrimental to the pup. so if we are to lay a blame....lay it on the owners!
mate comparing a pitbull to a gun is stupid. Lets be realistic by that comparison that means elapids, all dogs, and any other item or animal that has the potential to kill should be put under this analogy hell electricity kills more people than dogs do should we ban power as well at the same time.you are exactly right, the owners are also to blame, but blaming the owners wont solve these problems. Harsh penalties will not stop idiots from bringing up their dogs in a stupid way. We dont trust the general public with guns so why should we trust them with a breed of dog that has shown to kill time and time again. The fact that most individual pitbulls arnt aggresive means nothing, most guns dont kill people either.
LOL you's all make me laugh and yer i am like hitler!!!! those dogs need to die! and they will band them............. then i will laugh out loud at everyone who has one!!! HAHAHAHA.

touche hahaActually, in the context he was using, he should have said "ban", banned is past tense. Just goes to show what an imbecile he actually is.
Damnit! You beat me to it!! (lolz)Dogs arent particularly good at manipulating instruments, so they would be no good in a band.
There are also cases where councils have seized dogs that are not pit bulls and when the owner has gone to retrieve the dog the councils vet has declared them pit bulls, even though the owner has papers for the dog proving the breed. There was a case in Victoria where the persons dog was impounded for 5 years while they went through court to get it back. When it was returned to them it was an an unhealthy nervous wreck. That's the problem, it is not only owners misrepresenting there dogs, it is places like the Lost Dogs Home misrepresenting seized dogs. There is also the problem as stated several times above of dogs being sold to people as pit bulls when they don't have any pit bull in the them at all. The owner then goes round proudly declaring they have a pit bull when they clearly don't, that dog attacks someone and is seized and the media gets to say it ws a pit bull. As a matter of interest, American and Australian Bulldogs are the most common breed used to hide the fact that your dog is a pitbull as Staffies look nothing like them.Sorry kaotikjezta
I just got what you meant about the population of pit bulls not being accurately represented due to people not registering them. This is unfortunate, but without an accurate gauge on just how many unregistered dogs there are out there working with registered dogs is probably the only accurate way that data can be compiled. Also, what about the people who misrepresent their pit bulls as staffordshire terriers etc? On one hand this may take away from the total number of pit bulls, thus making their per capita attacks higher (assuming all dogs misclassified did not cause attacks), or alternately, if pit bulls are indeed responsible for more attacks per capita (and the misclassified dogs attacked some one), it could be harming the staffordshire terrier's per capita attack rate.

It might make some of these low socio-economic tools think twice about getting a so called "tough dog" because in the end it would be all to hard (and expensive).
(((but the worst breeds to deal with are shar peis and akitias, they are extremely aggressive to both animals and humans, but they are not in the news, as pitbulls sound much better media wise)))
Have you ever kept a Shar Pei? Ours was 18.5 years old when we put him down two months ago and the only thing he ever bit or attacked was his food and beef bones.
We've had English Bull Terriers, Kelpies, Cavaliers and Shar Peis - the kelpie was the worst for aggression and your statement is as ill-informed as what others are saying about your breed.
cool so you understand my why i think your comment comparing dogs to guns is one that really silly. A well balanced and socialised dog is no threat. so the whole argument of banning a breed is silly i for one am for tougher regulation on dog ownership. I for one am in favor of destroying any animal that has proved it can't be trusted. I don't see any benefit of banning a breed as those that keep them for the wrong reasons will still continue to do so and flout the law, and i wouldn't be surprised if this increases the chances of an attack. Although there will now be no registered pit bulls the people keeping them illegally will keep doing the same thing breeding them for there aggressive traits and behaviors. where as if a higher price is charged on an acknowledged registered breed that has been selectively bred for a good temperament and disposition certain people may not be so enticed to buy animal.Firstly elapid ownership is monitored. If dangerous dogs were monitored in a similar fashion I would be happy with that. Secondly electricity has a clear functional purpose in society. There are clear social benefits to having electricity widely accesible in society. Dangerous dogs however serve little purpose, the benefit of their ownership is limited.
I got attacked by a border collie once, should we put all of them down as well. My ex's mother had to save her neighbors kids from their own Rottie, should we put all them down. I used to get attacked everytime I walked down the street by a neighbours Jack Russell, better ban them now. Humans attack humans for no reason, maybe we should ban humans. When does this end. I have had 2 pittbulls one cross and one pure and they were both the best dogs ever.The only time either of them ever got narky with anyone or other animal was when a little girl shoved a burning stick in his face, then he only barked at her. He used to chase roos and wallabies until he caught up to them and then watch them hop away, he was friends with my cockateil for gods sakes.
