In the case of pitbulls, these dogs are bred from fighting stock. They are, almost without exception, owned by morons who think it's cool to have a vicious dog at their command. The average bull-terrier is not particularly aggressive, if well trained, but the pitbull is rarely trained to do anything but show aggression.

Years ago it was the Alsation that had the bad reputation. People saw it as a villain. Then it was renamed as the German Shepherd (its old, pre-WW1 name) and it was recognised as an intelligent breed as well as a useful guard dog. You still hear of "rogues" but they are, like the pitbull, generally owned by idiots for "macho" value. Any dog can be a dangerous dog in the wrong hands.

Unfortunately that was the only reason both these dogs were got.(macho type image) the female never wanted them but ended up going along with it to keep the peace , it was such a shame for the dog to go to such place where sadly excersise was one of the few things available

I'd forgotten this story about Princess Anne's dog attacking one of the Queen's Corgis.

Personally I blame the parents.

chav1 · 03-01-2007, 01:13

it may have come across in this thread that dogs are my number 1 hate , i would like to clarify my position if i may

i would rather see a dog mangle a cat any day of the week

lets hope the next time someone buys a vicious breed of dog as a fashion accesorie they are wearing it around tehir throat instead of a kids

A death of a child caused by a dog is tragic beyond belief, my thoughts are with her family.

Put into context, as a nation of dog lovers a fatal attack by a dog are so far and few between.

I agree with the sentiments of other posts, behaviour of a dog is totally the owners responsibility.

Under the right ownership ANY dog is a loyal family member, under the wrong ownership it's a tragedy waiting to happen.

The princess' defence said Dotty was a good natured dog "lacking in malice".

And this is saying what???

How many Celebs Slappers own other dogs, lets say alsations.

People call the Breed 'Pit Bull' when they clearly have NO really knowledge on the subject AT ALL.

Let see now and BE HONEST can you pick the 'Pit Bull' from the picture in the link below.

Oh and let see some more badness of these STIGMATISED DOGS.

And what did I just read.
Pit Bulls are one of the most stable people-friendly dogs in existence. The National Canine Temperament Testing Association tested 122 breeds, and Pit Bulls placed the 4th highest with a 95% passing rate!
