phish4stripers Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Pitbulls are kind, cute, and cuddly until they go ape sh&t and chew someones face off. Whatever happend to beagles and yorkies? Actually my worst dog bite was from a yorkie. Little bastard bit through my sneaker and through my toe nail on my big toe. OUCH !!!

buckmaster Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 1. A common myth...but a myth none the less that pit bulls enjoyed widespread popularity from the turn of the century through the 1950's. There was a national study done surveying adds for dogs/puppies for sale from newspaper records around the country during that time period and I believe pit bulls(including AMPT and Staffordshire together) were 25th of the 34 breeds used in the sample. The newspaper record survey was thought to be a more accurate sampling of dogs actually present in househoulds since some dogs would be registered with the UKC and not the AKC...may not have been recognized by one of the two at that time..or just not plain registered. 2. How about the reason why the official name became the Staffordshire instead of pit bull....breed enthusiasts were trying to sway the image of the dog away from its recently banned use in bloodsport...to make it seem like a proper dog for the show ring. Most blood sport with pit bulls was "officially" banned pretty early on...but continued, and continued here in the US with bloodlines brought from Europe. 3. Pit's are a great tool for the right job...I have a place in South Texas and there are tons of working pits around that are used as catch dogs for hogs...just not pets.

buckmaster Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is about right...for those who think the hogs don't have a chance....sometimes you eat the hog...sometimes the hog eats the pit.

MikeM58 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Perhaps you weren't aware the Pitbull was an extremely popular family dog back in the 50's?? Remember Petey from Our Gang?

I have known so many pitbulls all nice. be scared of something like an italian mastiff (**The artist formerly known as 'stcroixaddict')Blue fish overwinter in the core of the earth, accessed via deep ocean trenches.

AL617 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 here is my little man. sweetest dog youll ever meet. never once acted in an aggressive manner to another dog, human, great with kids. he sleeps with the cat for gods sake. well socialised and trained by me since 8 weeks old. again, responsible ownership is the key here. maybe spend your time trying to ban handguns or something instead, they kill alot more people than friggan dogs. -al may the seagulls rise and pluck your eyes.

Daughter of a fisherman Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Your dog sounds like an *******. You two sound perfect for each other. I wonder how many attacks went unreported in the 50's. My, my....someone piss in your Wheaties today? Maybe a Pitbull?
