D o you have a pet?

[SouthernComfort]

i knw wat you mean but iv personally come across from people local to me where these breeds have attacked kids, owners of the dogs wernt "thugs", very nice people if you ask me.

touchwood, mines been very good but i wudnt risk him anywhere near my kid, not worth finding out

The type of people who let their dogs onto furniture, feed them first, let them dominate, sure I know the type. They are the last people on earth who should own such a dog or any dog for that matter.
Good people train bad dogs, the same results, in fact worse could come from any breed.
No child should be left unattended with any dog, thats basic pack mentality.

sorry to disagree m8 but iv had pits all my life and 1 was a 7 year old rescue dog and my dogs have been left with my kids hundreds of times i have 1 now she gets fed first and she gets on the furniture now and again and she has a double quilt to lie on,realy m8 i dont think u have a clue about wat yr going on about

[Grizz]

you guys should watch Caesar Millan

im not gone on this kind of tv and i havent seen a lot of this guy but what i have seen of him makes me think he is absolutely spot on with dogs. dog problems are never the dog, dog problems are the owner. dogs need a purpose and they need to know where they are in the pecking order of a household. they are a lot happier when they are not the boss. any of the programs ive seen the owners have been f()ckwits with mental dogs who get sorted straight away when they find out who is really boss

Just because you do it doesn't make it right. The rescue dog would have been thoroughly tested before even being considered for rehoming. As for leaving your kids with your dogs, your kids. Ask anyone who specialises with dogs, see what their opinion is.

ofcourse, they very rarely they "switch" but when they do...
Pitbull Attacks, Maulings, and Killings

thats an AWESOME link.

bet you a #1 that when i meet your furball it either goes for me, or growls, they all do.

Does you double up as an air freshner as well Z?

[garry1312]

i agree that its to do with the way the dog is brought up by the owner but i really do not see the point in owning a pit bull due to the law at the end of the day it could be taken off you and destroyed. That is not fare on the dog. Why would anyone take that risk if they love the breed?

do the owners have to worry when taking this breed out for a walk that they may be stopped by the law? or do the owners keep them confined to there property?

[pantomime horse]

A cat who got trapped in a wheelie bin before being dumped in the refuse truck and came back with its tail hanging off. We had to have it amputated (the tail) and now people ask if it is a manx cat.

after being stuck in a wheelie bin, is it not a MANKY cat

[pantomime horse]

well I got a 11 year old lurcher, great dog and his best pal is our 3 year old cat.
used to have two rabbits that played with the dog and still got a load of tropical fish too

[cablefreejunkie]

i got an irish wolfhound and two half siamese cats/mother&son
my wolfhound has got to be the most placid creature i have ever come across,espescially considering her size,she weighs roughly 65 kilos so you can imagine how big she is,has a sofa all to herself
the cats love her to bits,they sleep with her as its probably the warmest part of the house
after owning a wolfhound once i dont think i could have any other breed,they are an amazing breed imho
and the siamese cats are completely daft,dont think i could deal with pure siamese cats but half breed is ok,
my dogs well trained and knows whos boss,you have to be the master,they like that,she never ever gets fed before the family,golden rule,also she never ever enters the house first after walks,another golden rule
all taught to me by the trainer i used when she was a puppy
they have to know who is boss at all times,you will then get the most amount of respect and love from your animal

[oiley]

I have a 6 year old staffy I love her to bits she never barks at anyone ever and knows her place in the house. I leave the kids with mine all the time shes total softy

[jcgrumbles]

had the most loyal dog ever untill last month ,he died during an op to fix his twisted stomach.Hes left a massive hole in the fabric of the whole family.An eight and a half stone japanese akita called jasper who looked after us all.

Destruction isn't always needed. If it's shown that the dog is well trained, not aggressive & has a good home you can apply for a license to keep them.

,he died during an op to fix his twisted stomach.

did the vet charge the full price for repairs, or just the price of replacement parts?
