Re: Dog advice please
As Ive discovered from the info Ive gathered from this thread and associated links, theres almost no way to tell by looking, if a dog has any Pitbull in it at all. The thing is that I actually know for a fact that my pup is a Pitbull/Staffy cross. What do you suggest, I should hand her over to the authorities without delay because a couple of jumped up know-it-alls on a British Expats forum say so? Dont make me laugh.

a pitbull just like any other dog brought up by someone who genuinly knew what they were doing, with more than an ounce of knowledge about the breed who wouldn't be so flippant as to just go out an buy one jus cos its a status symbol, could have a dog jus as good as fido the labrador!
what im trying to get across is that all dogs can be dangerous in the wrong hands whatever it is! to quote a famous saying "a gun doesnt kill people - people do!"
an i put this;
oh an for your info i have kept and bred boxers for nearly 18 years now, i am a resposible dog owner/breeder - i love the breed, and i breed with an intent to help eradicate the heart defect that boxers can carry through years of irresponsible inbreeding - the reason i went with boxers in the first place was they were recommended on querie with the uk kennel club as the second best dog to have with kids - the first was the staffie bull terrier - classed as a bull dog ... as are my boxers - we never went with staffies cos yes at the time there was a stigma
as i thought you were saying i was an idiot for having pitbull type dogs an i went off on a tangent for which i apologise as i dont have pitbull type dogs i have boxers

The one bit I did get is "a pitbull just like any other dog".... well sorry, but NO, its not. Check out the number of fatal attacks carried out by dogs and then see just what percentage of them is carried out by pitbulls.

I can't make head nor tales of this posting... if you want to quote me, then quote ME... if you want to quote somebody else then quote THEM.

Can you give me one sensible argument for keeping a pitbull?
Why do people choose a breed of dog that they know is statistically much more likely to attack than any other breed of dog?

Re: Dog advice please

Do I need to post multiple examples of Pitbulls killing people or shall we just take it as a given?

I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this - ive known people who've had bad dogs an they havnt been in the so called "bad dog" brigade an ive known people who have had good dogs that have been!

Re: Dog advice please
A gun is an inanimate object. It doesn't have a brain and won't fire unless a person pulls the trigger.
A dog on the other hand is an animal with a brain and a natural instinct. They can be aggressive, defensive, protective and unpredictable. Dogs can and do bite people without human intervention.

Would my Viszla bite you?... push him enough and he probably would, but vitally, you would have to push him very very very hard before he would attack.... its just not part of his breed type. Vizsla's have been bred for centuries to be a gun dog, to work alongside man, and not as an attack dog or a dog that will jump to the defence of its owner at a moments notice.
I don't care how much or how well trained a pitbull is... by its very nature they are prone to attack... and as such have, at least as far as I am concerned, no place in an urban environment. Authorities around the world seem to agree with me.
