Does that also mean there are no good dogs, just good owners? ... just trying to follow the logic.

I have to agree with slow. Never had pits but Dobermans and Rottweilers. Sure we call them domesticated, but I can't help but think that the wild dog gene lurks in them all from before man invited them to sit by the fire for the first time. And these are dogs that were not bite trained.

Who is gabby giffords? (too lazy to google lol)
The only thing I see in this video is a handler not handling their dog. And the dog possibly getting put down due to being caught on video.
I still think it was the dog reacting naturally to a strange animal. It may even have thought it was protecting it's master. The bitch crying the whole time prob stressed the dog out even more.

dog control legislation?

What I don't understand is her statement that her dogs NEVER attack squirrels/bunnies in public places. I'm sure they try. lol
My dogs see a squirrel/bunny and they think TOY TOY TOY! Then they either carry the broken necked creature around as a sort of trophy or lay in the grass and lick it forever.
My mom's dog swallows them whole. He sees the things as FOOD.

I think the best thing to say is, only a strong owner can curb the natural instinct of a dog.

I'm not talking in hypotheticals here. IT HAPPENED, I DID IT, IT WORKED.
The situation was explained in 2 independent posts ... both situations the dogs had hold (commonly lock-jaw) so weren't fighting as such.
In my situation the pitt-bull had hold for several minutes before I even went out to look...,. it took a couple of minutes to find and fill the bowl ... it probably wanted to let go. I remember its eyes were bloodshot and just looking at the people standing there ... then i threw the water, aiming for its eyes and nostrils. JOB DONE.
edit:
The only thing I can add is the next time youre in that scenario. One dog bite-holds another dog. Throw/squirt water in its eyes, if you have it at hand.

Yes I agree with this. Curb, not completely quell. All my dogs were voice and hand signal trained after countless hours and were loving and friendly with people, kids, babies, MOST other dogs but not so much with small prey animals. But still controllable, manageable and obedient. Only a couple of times did they actually scare me, but with good reason every time. A switch flips and it's 50,000 years ago and we're back in the jungle. But dogs were originally bred to be protective guardians as well as companion animals. I found their instincts about people and situational awareness much better than mine so I always paid close attention to their posturing and demeanor in questionable circumstances.

I'm on my fifth Dobie. The perfect dog to me. I have seen some spectactular pits though, and am very impressed with their intelligence too. It's all about the owner.

These devices have just come to my mind. I saw it on a dog training TV show and it worked. Maybe somehow its similar to being splashed in the face. but obviously not as traumatic.

I'd be hard pressed to choose between the Dobe or the Rott. Dobe always seemed on high alert status and was a devious SOB yet a trickster. Rott was relaxed and laid back like the .44 you keep in the drawer, waiting.

gabby giffords is the congresswoman from arizona who was shot in the head while trying to talk to her constituents in tucson.
her and her husband now advocate for common sense gun safety legislation, such as background checks, smaller magazines, and assault rifle bans, all of which are constitutional and supported by a clear majority of americans.
they have even countered the NRA with their own gun safety PAC. this makes Whiterwoman shit her pants in fear, as she does not understand that it even the conservative SCOTUS members consider gun control measures constitutional and wishes to portray obama as some tyrant hellbent on taking her guns (and what do we do with tyrants?).
since the NRA has already tried to do the same to spectacular failure and public ridicule, the right is taking a new route: smear, smear, smear.
doesn't matter who or for what, just smear.
they stoop so low that they are now trying to smear the husband of a critically wounded former congresswoman who was taking a dog for a walk on a leash. the audacity of that owner.
let's not forget the audacity of the dog, either.
it's cheap, it's tacky, it's petty, it's divisive and her (fake) outrage has nothing to do at all with this incident. the incident is merely the automobile for taking a cheap shot at someone she has labeled as her political enemy.
it's transparent.

Happened with my uncles girl friends pitbulls she left in my care for a few days, the dominate one wouldn't let go even with the hose spraying in her face. I had to fire some .22 blanks out of my revolver a few times to get her to stop.

Ah.
Yeah, I guess I could see that political angle. Don't agree with it's use, but I see it.
