Yeah he fucked that tire up and the tree. i mean i would agree with both sides on this talk. i think some are mean and yes due to the fact how they are raised but also they can be the nicest dogs. i just think the majority of times pits are raised aggresive.and i also think that maybe it takes less of a pit to be raised wrong....maybe they are in the level of medium to hard difficulty in raising just as they rate the succes in raising bud....if you want to compare it like that.they def usually arnt bought to be that loving dog of the fam....maybe protection of the fam...but not the sweet little thing in the corner.

oh and fdd as i said labs are the best dog ever and being a country boy myself the best damn hunting dog....we had a coon hunting lab once...but there are better hunting dogs jsut not of that beauty and well tamed behavior.

pitbulls and pitbull type dogs were involved in over half of all dog fatalities

5. Pit bulls are not unpredictable
Pit bulls frequently attack without provocation or warning. As a fighting breed, pit bulls were bred to conceal warning signals before an attack. For instance, they rarely growl, bear their teeth or issue a stare before they strike. They are also disrespectful of traditional signs of submission and appeasement.6
Pit bulls are also liars. Randall Lockwood, a senior vice president to the American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (ASPCA), shares the following story in a law enforcement training video:
"Fighting dogs lie all the time. I experienced it first hand when I was investigating three pit bulls that killed a little boy in Georgia. When I went up to do an initial evaluation of the dog's behavior. The dog came up to the front of the fence, gave me a nice little tail wag and a "play bow" -- a little solicitation, a little greeting. As I got closer, he lunged for my face."7

7. My pit bull is a sweetheart
According to a study done by the Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy, pit bull owners use a variety of strategies to lessen the stigma attached to owning a negatively perceived dog. One of the strategies is to emphasize counter-stereotypical behavior. For instance, to offset the popular idea that pit bulls are fierce and predatory, respondents in the study voiced just the opposite: "My dog is the biggest sweetheart in the world."
Other strategies used to combat the pit bull stigma included, trying to pass their dogs off as other breeds, denying that their behavior is genetically determined, discrediting unfavorable media coverage, using humor, avoiding stereotypical gear or accessories, taking preventive measures, or becoming "breed ambassadors."9

I was actually very young at the time and my mom bought the dog. At around the 6 month age, my mom broke her knee and tore everything inside of it. The dog was just full of energy at all times .. although a heart of gold, very very dumb.

Therefore, the dog was never trained properly, but was not neglected or just pushed to the side.

Another case of "HOW A DOG IS RAISED"

Not the breed, just how its trained.......

thanks for proving me right.

According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question. Clifton states:

If almost any other dog has a bad moment, someone may get bitten, but will not be maimed for life or killed, and the actuarial risk is accordingly reasonable. If a pit bull terrier or a Rottweiler has a bad moment, often someone is maimed or killed--and that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk, for which the dogs as well as their victims are paying the price.

Clifton's opinions are as interesting as his statistics. For example, he says, "Pit bulls and Rottweilers are accordingly dogs who not only must be handled with special precautions, but also must be regulated with special requirements appropriate to the risk they may pose to the public and other animals, if they are to be kept at all."

I pointed out the lab was retarded because it was a personal experience of mine. Yet another reason I "chose a pit over another breed" like you asked earlier.
