MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Now Come on guys...it is true most Rottweilers and Pitbulls are not the friendliest of dogs. And that is plain and simple true. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe not to you. But that ain't my Rottweiler's job........to be your lap dog. [/ QUOTE ] That has nothing to do with this at all If your dog got out, do you think it would act like a little princess? Okay you know the stray dogs taht youll occasionally see, and how they run away from you. What about a rott, do you think it would run away?

[/ QUOTE ] Thats exactly what i was going to quote. So basically you want a rott because its a tough dog right? Something that could cause alot of harm to someone? What if this animal that protects your house gets out? It could cause alot of harm to alot of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill Isn't it nice when someone else gambles with your child or animal's life? The bottom line is that the majority of maulings are by rottweilers, pitt bulls, and chows. They should be outlawed period. It is usually the person who is screaming the loudest about bad owners, inpure dogs, etc etc etc whose dog goes and kills or mauls someone. Now if you have one of these dogs, I sure as heck hope you keep the darned thing penned up. But if your dog gets out and mauls a child or someone else's pet, you deserve everything that happens to you. If your dog killed my child, I would take both you and the dog out.

Gator Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill While I have not read this WHOLE thing, I will invite ANY of you to come to my house, pull into my yard without me there, and see what my pit terrier does, he is by far the biggest BABY there is when it comes to people. Now DO NOT come there if the kids are home, and we aren't........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoss Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill It is a bad what happened and the man shoulded of killed the pitt. He had every right to do so. I dont blame the dogs in most of these cases but the owner and the way the dogs were raised. Dogs are almost like kids in most cases its all how there raised on how they turn out. Dogs and kids are not born bad they are made that way most of the time. Ive had pittbulls never had any problems with them. My kids were little then. The dogs wrer very good with them very protective of them and my house.I had to put them down becouse due to age and health not for being mean. A lot of people lump all bull dogs into the pitt bull breed but most of them are not pitts. Heres my new dog sure looks like a pitt bull puppy. You experts tell me what he is . When you get it rite Ill tell you what he is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill [ QUOTE ] As for what happened, the owners should be held accountable for not keeping their animals properly. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. [ QUOTE ] My sister is actually really involved with Pit Bull protective groups.... and her main defense is that the owners of the dogs are mostly to blame. I'll agree with that. [/ QUOTE ] Me too. I get to see all kinds of dogs on my job. Around these parts, the majority of Pit Bulls and Pit Bull-type dogs are owned by college kids who get them just to have them as some kind of status symbol. For the most part, the dog is left in a crate or an apartment all day long without much human socialization. [ QUOTE ] But my main concern is that when a Chow, Pug or Pomeranian bites you...they don't have the ability to kill you. Pit Bulls are a vicious breed, key word "breed" they have been bred for centuries to be violent dogs, with super strong muscle and jaws. [/ QUOTE ] It's true. If you have a Pomeranian that bites you have a problem. When you have a Pit Bull, Rotty or Chow that bites, you have a BIG problem. But you can't outlaw the dog for the way it's been raised. Kinda like if you get shot with a BB gun you've got a problem. But if you get shot with a .44, you've got a BIG problem. Are we going to outlaw the .44 or the guy who pointed it & pulled the trigger?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time, it isn't the ownere nor the owner's chld that gets it...it is someone walking in the street or kids playing in their own yard. Irresponsbile, IMHO.

Ok, more people in this world are hurt and/or killed by guns than these dogs...should we ban or outlaw guns? [/ QUOTE ] That's a flawed argument. Guns are inanimate objects that have no will or ability of their own to seek and destroy other living things. Dogs are able to determine their own will and seek and destroy at will. Dangerous breeds are a timebomb waiting to happen. Now, if you can keep your dog inside and guarantee that it isn't going to get out and harm someone, more power to you. You are risking your children because they often do maul owners. But as long as you guarantee that the dog won't kill my children, so be it. Unforuntately, many of these dogs are left outside in simple fence enclosures and can often get out and kill people. JMHO New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill Well you must have a huge lab then Size Averages For Rotts Size: (average weight and height): Males range from 24" to 27" at the shoulder and 95 to 135 pounds. Females are somewhat smaller at 22" to 25" tall and 80 to 100 pounds. Taller and shorter Rottweilers can be found but should not be considered typical to the breed standard. The Rottweiler is very strong for its size. A full grown adult can easily knock a human off its feet and for this reason is not recommended for the physically infirmed person. Obedience training is a must because of the animal's size and strength; you must be able to maintain complete mental control of your Rottweiler at all times. Size Averages For Labs Weight: Dogs 60-75 pounds (27-34kg.) Bitches 55-70 pounds (25-32kg. So..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Another Pitt Bull Kill Seen a lot of dogs that would fool you. Neighbor had a border collie mix that would lay under the truck or car or hide, when you got where you could not see the dog it would sneak up behind you and bite you first chance you gave it. My kids tried to pet the dog once and it snapped at my oldest daughter. Border collies are generally good breeds noted for being very friendly. That dog sure did not look vicious, but it could have seriously hurt a kid. Veterinarian we used in Florida, a beautiful young woman, had her chin chewed partially off by a dalmation lab mix. Yes that is right part lab, everyones favorite docile pets. I was bitten when I was younger by a german sheppard, but I dont hold that against the breed. My wifes family used to raise show quality german sheppards before her mother got down to far from the cancer. When running service calls working on sattelites, the only dogs that I would not come in a yard for were chows or chow mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
