this has nothing to do with the rehoming fees. i just want to let people know to please pretty please be careful when getting a pit bull that is over a few months old. or any pit bulls at that matter. i am not against pit bulls to the fullest extent but i do have issues with them. i have had 2 pit bulls in the past and both of them are now dead due to aggression and attacking animals as well as people. i had a female full blooded american pit bull from 6 weeks old and around her 1 year mark she attacked my 10 year old poodle on his neck and shook him soo hard his brains were splattered in his head and he died. she was put to sleep. she was not raised aggressivly. she was raised around babies, toddlers, kids and adults. as well as other dogs including the poodle. this happened august of last year. my other incident was a full blooded american male pit bull. i got him off of here and he was 3 years old. he was great with my son and my other dogs played and everything. ran the neighbor hood never attacked another dog nothing. then one day he jumped out of my window and attacked my neighbors 13 year old boxer that had no teeth, didnt kill him though because then he went after my neighbors wife, whom hes a police officer, bit her hand, then came after me bit my wrist and fractured it and then went back after the boxer and my neighbor shot him and he went after my neighbor with evil in his eyes. my neighbor shot and killed him on the spot because he was going after anybody and anything. so please pretty please be careful with pit bulls. i love these dogs to death but after these 2 incidents i will NEVER own one again. i am not making these stories up. they really happened to me. i just want people to be careful.
I know what my first thought was, but wanted to see what everyone else's take was ... I realize that a diagnosis of the problem can't be made just from that description, but just wanted to see what you all thought just from that little story.
she attacked my 10 year old poodle on his neck and shook him soo hard his brains were splattered in his head and he died ... i am not making these stories up. they really happened to me.
That was my second thought, lol. My first thought was that she (like most people) had no business with a pit. That is nothing against pitts, btw ... I hope the pitt lovers don't get offended, that is not how it was meant. I just don't think that they are a dog for most people ... kind of like malinois, lol.
The second story in particular seemed quite outlandish to me, that a dog that was sweet and cuddly (and dog friendly) would suddenly go off his rocker and go back and forth between different people and the dog to bite. I suppose it could happen, but it's just such a typical pitt story. They either misread the signals, were disillusioned about the dog in the first place, or are just flat out lying.
Anyway, I am always curious to hear other opinions on these stories.
rofl! I can't help myself! My favorite posts are the ones where the flaggers are going back and forth with the flagees ... it is better than Jerry Springer!
I don't think we need to give this moron any more attention. JMO. Any publicity is good publicity as they say...this freak doesn't deserve the space they wasted on CL. For every intelligent one of us who sees these are b.s. there is some paranoid idiot who will nod to themselves as they read those ridiculous stories.
And sorry to be terribly picky...but can we spell Pit Bull correctly please? The American Pit Bull Terrier is a proper breed; Pit Bull is the shortened form of it; it is not a slang term to encompass any dog who bites someone. I know, I know, I am being picky, but I can't help but feel ANY misunderstanding leads to bigger problems for these dogs.
