What do you think about pit bulls ?

[guerera]

Many peope say that they are very dangerous animals , but I don't thinks cause If people wuold treat them good n not to fight they would be great loving animals For my experience I have tw pit bulls both 1 year old n I also have 5 pit bull puppies there mom is a blue nose , n there dad is a red nose.

i agree with you, pits are really sweet when treated right.  i had a friend with 2 of the most loving pits on the planets.  big babies for sure, but they are not to be messed either.  as a breed they are territorial, as are many other dogs.  like chihuahua's ... heck, they can give you a nasty bite before you can ever catch them! har

no, pits are good if the owner is good.  same for rottwilers and dobermans ...

i think i read somewhere that there are more dog bites reported from small dogs than larger breed gods!

We had a female pit bull and she was so loving. I called her my baby girl. She was great with people but she'd go after cats and squirrels. She died from a rattlesnake bite. I miss my girl from time to time.

I personally don't like them, only because of an incident a friend of mine had with one. The dog was brought up in the house as a pup and was treated very well, never abused. He was playing with their two year old daughter and locked onto here arm that had a toy in it, Luckily my friend poured cold water on him and he released. Also, luckily his two year old daughter had minor punctures in her arm that did heal. After that instance, I would never again trust a Pit. It may have been just the animal itself and not the breed. I personally just don't trust that breed.

I love my pit bull and now that my girl sisi has puppies ( there so cute n adorable ) . But yeah it;s true little dogs bite more than the bigs one cause there very nervous
.

i've never personally interacted with one,
but i don't see that they're a huge deal.
i adore dogs in general and imagine that if treated right,
a pit would make a fine pet.

but then again, of course, i think you need to be careful with how you handle and treat pretty much any animal.

In the words of Lennie Briscoe from Law and Order, "Dogs don't kill people, people kill people." It's all in the training and treatment of the dog. My aunt has a pitbull that used to be a fighting dog and he is very sweet and wonderful.

I don't think its the animal but the way the animal is trained and brought up! 

[CharmedPhoenix]

I agree, it's not the bread as much as the training and treatment.  I knew a little black dog that was abused and would go after ankles.  I also have known and had big dogs that were as gentle as lambs.  Raise them right and they'll be gentle and secure.

  I know pits get a bad rap and how loving they can be. I watch the show Pit Boss. I mean my own 20lb fox terrior has bitten my husband and I a few times out of frustration over having his paws touched while being bathed. Plus he's getting old. My sister was telling me the other day a normally well behaved and well treated pit bull attacked a child recently somewhere up north. I don't think I'd take the chance of having one around children.

Pit bulls are sweethearts, most of the time it is the owners fault. They do have a big jaw than can be dangerous if they bite, Any dog can be dangerous if they bite but other dogs do not do as much damage.  People need to watch all dogs, they all can be unpredictable, but I feel the pit bull gets a bad rap

[koolcraftlady]

I really don't care for Pit Bulls, but to each his own.  I am more of a small dog lover.  My niece has a Pit and I don't care for her.  She has never had any trouble with her at all.  I believe it is how a person trains and raises a dog that makes them calm or mean.

I think if a pit is well treated and well socialized it would do fine. BUT I would not trust it with a small child. A child can give off the wrong vibes and the pit will read it wrong. Hense, bite. That's just my humble opinion.

I do not like pit bulls...I think that they can be the meanest dogs. But yes, if treated right they can be the nicest dogs around. I am too scared to even get close to one.
