I feel that the bad reputation they have received is due to the way the owner raises, treats and trains this dog. We have neighbors who now have 16 pit bulls. 4 adults and 12 pups. They have raised the adults to be very aggressive and dangerous animals. On more than one occasion I have been cornered by these adult dogs, growling, showing teeth, foaming and slobbering at mouth, etc. So far I have not been attacked. They have also tried to attack my black lab mix and have actually attacked our neighbors elderly black lab and did cause damage. All of this is because of the way they raised and trained these dogs. Now they also have the 12 puppies. Come to find out, they are breeding these adult pit bulls and selling "Purebread American Pit Bull Puppies for $300 each". I am just totally outraged. Number one for breeding and bringing more puppies into this world when there are millions out there that need adopted from shelters, and secondly because of the way they treat their dogs. I guess I'm kinda seeking some advice as to how I can get these pit bull puppies out of their hands and get them to good homes that will treat, raise, respect and give them a lot more love, attention and better home than they are in right now. I want to give these puppies a fighting chance at a good life. Should I contact our local humane society? I have contacted law enforcement and their wonderful solution was to "shoot the dogs to kill" if they are in our yard or corner/try to attack us. I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I can't kill a living breathing creature. And why should the dog be punnished when it's the owners who should be punnished!?!? Ashley ~ YOU GO GIRL!!!

I recently got to witness a neighbors pit bull attack and kill another dog and once you have seen this it all changes. The pit bull owner has always allowed her dog to come into the front yard without any restraint, she always told people her dog was polite and never left the yard. Well, house across the street from her sales to new people with a small-fluffy type dog. Small dog follows owner outside to get something out of moving van.......BAM pit bull charges across road and attacks and kills little dog without any provocation or warning. I hope you never have the misfortune to hear and see this happen, but if you do you will have a rude awakening and the sound and sight will sicken you and will sadly probably never forget it.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-26670949470091117822012-05-21T21:07:54.153-05:002012-05-21T21:07:54.153-05:00and i agree that all dogs need love and care.........and i agree that all dogs need love and care......love that not as a pet., but love that is unconditional......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-11173932829289137602012-05-21T20:36:22.213-05:002012-05-21T20:36:22.213-05:00I agree there are not bad dogs just bad owners.

I hate ignorance. People just go with the mainstream, never challenging "the facts". This is how rumors get started. Unfortunately, dangerous and deadly ones. The animals suffer; not the people--that's why no one does anything (almost no one). Perhaps if this had direct consequences on individuals, then something would be done.

Whenever there is a "dog bite" story on the news, my first reaction is always "what was the human doing to get bit?" I believe that the vast majority of the time the real story is that the human is doing something they shouldn't, teasing the dog or whatever. I do believe in the innocent and loving natures of all canines, but they also do what they are told and can be trained to do horrible things - again this is human trouble not dog trouble.

I constantly remind her than the dogs were brought up in a loving environment and would not hurt the kids. They may play rough, but it is not aggressive. Drives me insane how narrow minded my mom is.

We were happy together and spent so much time together I decided to move in with him. In this household there were three dogs. A mixed female, a boxer, and a pit. A couple months into living there I was in the kitchen fixing spaghetti and heard a horrible scream. I walked into the dining room and saw the pit had the female pinned down trying to mate her. She fought with him so he grabbed her by the neck. It was my husband's dog (boyfriend at the time) so I threw a cardboard noodle box on the dining room table to distract the dog (not in his direction at all). He turn towards me and in the blink of an eye had his jaw locked into my knee. I remember I had such an adrenaline rush that I just kept punching him in the head and neck trying to get him off of me. He kept jerking back and forth at my knee and dragged me into the kitchen. All the family except my husband was in the kitchen, they sat there staring while the dog continued to tear my knee up. Then one of the owners of the dog jumped up and yanked his jaws apart, he let go of my knee. He had never exhibited any kind of behavior like this before. Had I not interfered he would have killed my husband's dog. Anyways, I did not go to the hospital because I was afraid that they would put the dog down for biting me and I knew I would have probably been not welcome to live in the house anymore had I done that. To this day I have horrible scars all down my leg. After the dog attacked me he began to attack others in the household to the point we had to get rid of him. Now my knee swells and I'm intimidated anytime I go around a dog I hardly know. I am not against pits, either. Even though this horrible experience happened to me I later learned the owner's wife had flicked him in the nose repeatedly when he was smaller as a joke (which she also did to her chihuahua who was pretty aggressive when he was younger). Now I can not take long walks because my knee swells or run right anymore. MY POINT IS IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME AND I DO NOT HATE THE BREED THEN WHY DOES ANYONE ELSE WHO NEVER WENT THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING??? TELL ME THAT!!!!Chrissynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-60032711777926372592012-05-21T15:46:33.266-05:002012-05-21T15:46:33.266-05:00My sister's first husband had a wolf hybrid na...My sister's first husband had a wolf hybrid named Crystal. Her father was a wolf who lived on a farm and her mom a German Shepard, who also lived there. It was nature not man who brought about Crystal and her litter mates. She was a WONDERFUL, SWEET dog. NOT aggressive at all. Great with kids. My sister said she was a great "watchdog". If robbers had ever come, she would watch them go in and watch them come out. See, not vicious at all, except to muskrats. She used to bring their neighbor a muskrat every so often as a present. She would lay the dead muskrat on his back porch.

ALL breeders should be certified, maybe that would get rid of puppy mills. Like I've said many times. Before one gets a dog, they should do some research. Animals are NOT toys. They are living, feeling creatures. There is a responcibility in animal onwership. A LIFETIME commitment of 10-15 years, or more.
