Some dogs with early socialization .are fine with other dogs. Some fight no matter what… Dogparks are bad idea period.
Sounds like a typical pitbull some get along some don’t. I never walk my dog around other dogs or go to dog parks just a bad idea.
I will say once again warning someone to do research about a breed of dog is not bad press as you would have it….Now me not deserving to own this breed…I have owned these dogs all my life and I think I have a good grasp on the breed Sport :). I never said I was better nor did I set out and attack anyone as several PEOPLE on here have of me. Now Mastiffs in Romean times were bred to be dogs of war and were used in the colussium, but the were refured to as Mossular dogs(italian strain Cane corsa deceneded from these dogs). True Mastiffs I think you are referencing old english and not neopalitain or filas were bred to stop and HOLD poachers not fighting as you describe they were the night watchmans dog. Their is this wonderful thing called freedom of speech it exist in this place called America their was a big war fought over it. Oh and I never said I was better then anyone I just do my research. I love the personal attacks and that you think I am ignorant 🙂 I was wondering if you are going to be stalking my post as well. 🙂
Amber…where to begin my post are not negative they are to caution new owners as to what can potentially happen. Amber have you ever had to break up a yard fight I mean a serious fight, dogs bleeding tearing into each other? I have not my dogs but two strangers who had no clue what a break stick is or how to use one. Just because your “puppies” have never got into it dosen’t mean it can’t happen. Now speaking of negative post I was honored you dedicated time to start a whole thread about me. Which you ranted and raved like a 2 year old because people have differing opinions. But it is nice to know you are stalking all my post I didn’t know you cared take care. 🙂
Well rollrrgrl I have raised these dogs all my life never said they are BAD dogs but genetics plays a role and some dogs can’t be cured of dog aggression just the way it is. Now if you mean me by SOMBODY you are sadly mistaken I have seen the victims of dog fighting while working at a vet and some not all can be rehabilitated. Dog aggression is not the only reason I don’t agree with dog parks. Viruses worms parasites all can be transmited at dog parks. Not every dog does well in dogpark settings you have a lot of people breeding unsound dogs together and that is why we have such bad media on the breed. Check out Diane Jessups site on pitbulls then tell me I don’t know what I am talking about as far as APBT are concerned I have owned these dogs long before most of the general public they are not for everyone so do YOUR research.
First off you were the one to go after me… that being said good for you :)…..Now as far as shy and withdrawn puppies the are all yours, as that is not what a well bred pitbull puppy should be. I train dogs as well personal protection, obedience, french ring, ect…I never said YOU did not do YOUR research. I said PEOPLE need to do their research. I noticed alot of people on here get really upset if someone has an opinion that differs from theirs…well too bad cry me a river. So we are cleardog parks are STILL a bad idea.
Pitbulls require alot of exercise and attention. Their grooming needs and general care is overall not much these dogs tend to be fairly healthy. Pitbulls need a job to do this is not a dog to leave in a crate all day. I would contact a rescue and go to an adoption event and talk to several people and maybe meet some dogs. good luck. Matt
Bearxfoo excellent post! I never attacked anyone just posted my views on the subject in question. That being said no I do not break the law or speed as you say. I am by no means perfect but I don’t go out of my way to create a post souly wine about other people. You have your opinion and I have mine but being upset that some other people have differing veiws followed up with cited information. We are all adults let’s be mature adults and have a civil conversation instead of having a fit when someone dosen’t agree with you
It is a Pitbull they have a high prey drive. Some obedience training may help you curb this, but don’t beleive some of what you hear about this breed they are what they are. Dog agression is part of what a pitbull is alot of people who get into these dogs don’t beleive it can happen to them but at the age of 2-3 a pitbull starts to fully mature. Some dogs do great there whole life with other dogs “supervised” of course. Then you have dogs and I don’t care what people say that no matter how much you try to train them will always be dog aggressive but that dosen’t make them bad dogs. Do people get mad at coon hounds for wanting to go after raccoons or beagles that want to chase rabbbits? They were bred for this for hundreds of years…That is part of being a responsible pitbull owner it is not a dog it is a life style….Some dogs are BORN this way it all deals with the dogs genetics. hope this helps goodluck Matt
So you are saying you willfully break the law with not muzzling your dog under Ohio law and you are acting aggressive towards other members of the board because they have a different opinion them yours I suppose that sums it up
I am in no way telling people to be afraid I just would love for people to do there research before getting these types of dogs…again so my point is clear genetics DOES play a role and it is not all in how you raise them. Yes it helps curb canine aggression but won’t be the solution. This is not an attack I was not the one accusing someone of having a “tough” macho dog. I am just trying to get through to some people to please do your research. These dogs were bred this way for hundreds of years you just can’t train it out of them but you can curb it. Just be responsable.
I am sorry for you Armywife you have an accident waiting to happen…..I do have a really strong bond with my dog and BullyPaws is a rescue and they know a whole lot more about the breed then you give them credit for. I have met them many times and been to several of their addoptions. Now I have had these dogs sense my dad had them when he was little in Mississippi before moving to VA. That being said the most dangerous owner of these dogs is the one who is blind to what these dogs can do when put in a situation…like a dogpark. I suggest you check out Diane Jessups site as well as read some of Richard Strattons books hard to find, but they are out there if you really wanna understand the breed…these are not labs or poodles they require work. did you watch the episode where ceaser millan put to pits together and they locked on to each other??? I really hope you read those books and do some research I don’t want to lose my right to keep my dog because I read about another inccident.
It is a PITBULL…these dogs do not belong in dogparks. My girl is well trained but I would never put her in a situation with bad owners of other dogs. Remember no matter how much you raise them to be social these dogs have been bred to be the way they are. Yes trainning helps but the other side of the coin is what genetic traits the parents have. In the case of a dog from a shelter you will never know the history of dogs back ground. That being said you are better off getting a dog that is a year old as you know what you are going to get temperment wise. But never let your gard down these dogs require a firm but fair owner. My dog gets 3-4 mile walks in the morning and at night these are working dogs they need a job to do. Another thing is just because a dog is agressive towards other dogs dosen’t make them bad just will require more work. Genetics plays a huge role you could have dogs who’s parents were great dogs but the gradsire was a manbiter that trait skips generations do to ressesive genes. Sorry for the long post and derailing the thread alittle.
