I have a rescue and she is 50% pit bull. Not going to find a more loving dog. Just wants to play and give kisses. But that’s just my girl. I think a lot is how they are raised and environment. Never wanted a pit but would not trade mine for anything.
Neighbors have full pits. We babysit them from time to time. Any dog can be aggressive and any dog can be a sweetheart. Mr. Meaty and his smile looks like a winner to me.
My son had one. Adopted family dog when family member could not take of dog. Great dog except when encountered other dogs. Dog wanted to sit on laps. 2 small children(under 2 years old), gentle/loving as can be. Kids climbed all over dog, no problems. When around other dogs, he tried to “eat them”. When dog got out, dogs in neighborhood were in serious danger.
If starting as a pup / shoukd be okay .
Giardia is from drinking contaminated water. Caused by microscopic parasites. It’s not contagious (or I guess it can be for dogs through their stool) and should pass quickly.
Had mixed breed. Big sweetheart.

If you want to get a pitt, Rottweiler , German Shepard , or husky - you need to make sure they are obedience trained and they know you are in charge.
Not going to find a more loving dog. ..words often heard prior to 87.89% of Pitbull maulings...I heard it in my family prior to a loving one ripping the throat out of another family dog

i love when Pitbull owners say "they've never done this before" after it mauls the neighborhood kid. Oh really, your dog never ate off a kid's face before this one? Well that's good..Not going to find a more loving dog. ..words often heard prior to 87.89% of Pitbull maulings...
not even close in terms of perpetrators and the numbers do not jive with "environmental" factors being the cause...
Dog Attacks & Biting Statistics by Breed - Stoy Law Group, PLLC.
Getting bite or attacked by a dog can be traumatizing! This articles goes over some dog bite statistics and how you can get help from an attorney.
Breed specific legislation is nearly impossible to enforce...are you going to walk around doing DNA tests? All dogs should be leashed in public, regardless of size and breed.
leashed and muzzled. dont forget the "Muzzled" part. specific breeds obviously, feel free to include german shepherds in there as well.

Pisses me off. Used to sell Heating and Ac which required me to go into a ton of houses. 90% or everyone would put dog in kennel or bedroom. Some dumbasses would not a be like “ oh he is fine” ya until he is not fine and rips into my GD leg. Probably why i dislike like most dogs today….

This is very true. Mine is only 25lbs but she is a 25lb ball of muscle so very strong for her size.
I have two of the most fun dogs. They are great. Hilarious. I walk them every day. I don't have any known pits near me, but if one ever got loose and grabbed my dog and killed it, I have no doubt what I would do. I would grab my 9mm and go to that house and I don't care if the kids are there sitting at the table, I would shoot that dog dead.
I know what you mean, but it is not the dog I dislike it is the absolutely self absorbed, "He won't bite" owners that refuse to abide by simple laws to protect others. When they see my reaction to their dog they all say "oh he/she won't bite" I say "That is what the owner of the last dog who bit me said",and it is true. I also say to the owner that carries a leash while the dog confronts me "Hey, a leash is like an umbrella, it only works if you use it." Many dog owners are complete jackasses IMO.
if a pitbull is attacking you or a loved one (a pet), stick your finger up it's ass. i heard that works and is the only way to get it to stop..
