Any animal, including humans, can switch and cause others damage, i grew up with a rottweiler in my house and he was the best dog ever, yet i got bitten by my mates bastard little jack russell, in fact i bet theres more attacks from those fuckers than pitbulls!!!
ive got a red nosed pit, had him since he was a puppy, and i tell you what i have 2 small daughters that love the dog to bits and everytime the girls get in trouble, whos right there next to them....the pit lol, he will get right in between me and the girls, he feels that he is protecting them, as he should ive done my best to raise him right and hes a good dog, very protective, but hes not mean in anyway, and he wont be. but IF and i say IF he ever does turn mean ill be the first to put a bullet down his ear, and he knows it. if a dog, no matter what breed it is, if a dog is mean, its due to the way its been raised.
are you raising them for companionship or for security or for show?
(i assume for companionship.) i work at a dog kennel/rottweiler breeder.
l there are many types of agression:sex, territorial, fear-related, food, dog, crate, and human agressive. pitbulls tend to be dog, human, and territory aggressive. ach type of agression must be dealt with differently, agression is a very very serious issue and hard to reverse after puppyhood.
ike with most instinctively agressive dogs, pitbulls must be weaned from thier agression ASAP, immediatly after weaning is a good time to start socialization. spaying annd nuetering helps greatly as hormonal males (and females) tend to be very agressive and territorial. socialization early is the key. by this i mean to accustom the dog to positive situations with other dogs and humans. this includes plenty of human/dog contact with LOTS of reward and reinforcement. socialization should also be brought on with basic training, if not after. remmeber that dogs seek constant reward, good behavior=reward. rewards can be food, praise, pet or play. use all types of reward-this keeps the dog intersted and avoids compulsive thinking. pitbulls are very strong dogs-know his/her limits. MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL: establish the alpha standing immediatly. this means to establish that YOU are in control, that YOU are in control of rewards and regimen.
Its not wether its stupid or not, but kids WILL do stupid things to animals, and a dog that will react explosively and violently towards them should not exist.Quote:

Besides your a twat :p
i have only seen my dog, a female yellow lab who is extremly non-sociable towards other animals, get along with one dog, which was a pitbull, it was a very very odd experience to see that. she usually goes for the neck with other dogs, but is a huuuge kiss ass to any person.
This is so silly. Any dog will bite you if you try to take food out of his/her mouth. i have had a jack russell, dachshunds, labs, and a pit bull...you dont take food away from a dog and that's something you should teach your children. if they can't figure that out they shouldn't have a dog. Our little puppy pit bull is the sweetest puppy I've had. She's goofy and loving and plays wonderfully with kids! If you train a dog to be mean then they'll be mean. But to say that all pit bulls are mean is just wrong....and ignorant.
i want a blue pitbull are those any nicer then the red nose?
I suggest crate training your pit bull puppy. When we left for church one Sunday we let her to roam free about the house, and came home to find her like this...
yo pitbulls can be dangerous by brother had 1 years ago named dukey but he used 2 fight it so it ended up shaking every dog it seen and it used 2 rip em right up it even killed a dog
dnt fight it give it love peace out
I really wish that there was more ppl out there with your attitude to ownership, especially to pitbulls. If there was we would not need the legislation to deal with "bad dogs". Sure I would be out of a job, but it would be worth it.Quote:

Pretty much scared her in to releasing the dog to me for destruction. That was a fatal attack in the making, the pup was only 4 months old but it knew that it was boss, imagine if the old bird was in bed, and one of the other dogs got in the pitty's fav spot and it wanted it out and the old bird got in the way :eek: ................
As for the clown who wants to breed a pitty with a larger dog, dude your the kind of fuck wits that lead to breeds getting bad names in the media and getting legislation created to deal with the issue. Dude 2 words for you GROW UP!
