He looks like the identikit photo of everyone I've ever seen with a pitbull.

Absolutely NOT the kids fault! The dog owner had been told to make sure the dog was secured, which includes alerting children to not going near it and making sure they can't get at it, imo. Also, poor lad was visiting with family, not breaking and entering!

That owner should never be allowed another dog again ... but he will get another.

Doesn't resemble this Pitbull owner...

Oh I don't know... Look at the head lock he's got that poor doggy in!!

I am joking but just because the guy looks nice and friendly doesn't mean he's not a lunatic.

I was marginally in your corner but to compare a bull terrier to any of these dogs is madness..

you've obviously never had much contact with newfies...

But Uranus said they all look the same.

He's Caeser Millan. A famous (obviously not that famous ) 'dog whisperer'.

For every one of him, there are an uncountable number of knobs, who choose the pitbull as their 'weapon of choice'

I wasn't comparing a Bull Terrier to any of these dogs. I was comparing the Kurdish Kangal to these dogs based purely on a size comparison.

Newfoundlands are great dogs. Slobber everywhere though.

No I didn't. I said he looks like everyone I've ever seen who owned a pitbull.

And it's those knobs that need to be eradicated.

You said "he looks like the identikit photo of everyone I've ever seen".

And how many people have you seen with a Pitbull? (and not in photos)

iamthecreaturefromuranus

I lived on an East Manchester council estate for many years... so too sodding many of them. Including a couple owned by guys I knew as 'mates'.
Every single one of the dogs was used to intimidate... not a one spent much time herding cattle.

I suppose I can now expect the 'fault of the owners' classical Benoni defense response and I will respond with 'the dogs were not chosen for their ability to smile sweetly for the camera'... and we will go round and round and round and round.........

One wonders as to the type of crowd you have been hanging with. Guilty by association.

Not all Pitbull owners live on a council estate you know.

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Yes, I'm sure the American Pitbull is a frequent guest at the Henley Regatta and Ladies Day.

Deancm_MKII

The president of the United States used to own one. Pink and Jessica Alba own one...

You know, a council estate in East Manchester which would include such civilised locales as Moss Side, is not accurate reflection of the rest of the world or other pitbull owners around the world.

It's one thing to generalise but your generalisation defies belief.
