My point was that dogs will at times kill for enjoyment not out of any need, in any case this is all very pointless.
Ittybitty what is your advice/information based on, I have seen first hand well looked after family pets tear apart a dozen sheep, it wasn't for food. I have seen the ramifications of this time and time again, not by wild dogs but family bed layers out at night. Staffies love to fight other dogs. If they never get the opportunity to fight they are fine and perhaps never will, but once they do get in a fight they love it and seek it out. Again I have witnessed this many times first hand. Like all animals they are unpredictable.
you should have said 80.3% to be precise

What I love about those two reports (I read the 2005 one earlier) is how they skew the figures by working out the percentages based on number of registered dogs. Everyone knows that people stopped declaring there pitties to council or lying about the breed when the threat of seizure started to become a real problem. So, even though there are breeds responsible for many more actual attacks than pit bulls, pit bulls come out with a higher per capita percentage rating. Lets face it, they want to bring in the legislation so they'll skew the results anyway they can.How about just some facts hey....
I won't get into the whole pitbull arguments having owned one in the past....

stupid question. whats soo appealing about small dogs then, snakes, lizards, frogs chickens etc. people keep what they adore. to each their own.What is so appealing about the breed any way? Its a dog that has been bred for aggression. It seems to me that the image of a tough dog is what makes the dog so attractive as a pet.?
