Sam1647545489 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Why do they seem to only ever talk about dog bites when a pitbull is involved. Seriously there are 800 million other dogs out there besides pits that bite people daily. /rant Thanks Anthony Greene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 And a funny pic (to me) I just took of my old man (Titan) waking up. Was trying to catch him upside down with his mouth agape and tongue out. He woke up. Look into his eyes... Come closer... Closer... Just a little more... http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/Titan/IMG_1634.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have the deja vu, but when a cockerspaniel bites someones hand they tend to have to get stitches. When an irresponsible owner's pit bull goes apeshit on the neighbors kids, dismemberment and death are much more likely. Then you combine that with image of the dog being a 'tough-guy' dog and you attract a less than capable crowd of owners who probably shouldn't be allowed to raise a hamster let alone a powerful animal like many bully breeds. Then multiply that by the fact that many are raised by unscrupulous types to fight and kill each other for the purpose of gambling, and you have a ripe news-worthy story everytime. Pits don't nessesarily get a fair shake in the media, but its not completely unwarranted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Why does the dumb ass news media keep reporting false information about Bosco the police dog that was shot? He is NOT paralyzed, there is NOT a bullet lodged in the spine, and there is NO spinal damage. How do I know they are wrong? Because my gf is the student who has been the sole clinician taking care of the dog for the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pits are bad with those people, mmmkay. Wait, so are: Rotts, Dobes, boxers, labs, etc... So are roosters? It is mostly unwarranted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 My great dane boxer mix weighs 100 pounds now and all of my neighbors keep calling him a pit bull.. I think its because I'm Irish Hal do you still need a dog sitter? I'm off work until next Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Ive still got some pretty bad scars on my ankle from when I was attacked by a cocker spaniel as a child. True story. They are now the only breed of dog that I do not like well, poodles suck too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, so are: Rotts, Dobes, boxers, labs, etc... So are roosters? It is mostly unwarranted. The Center for Disease Control over a twenty year tracking period has the Pit Bull as the number one canine killer. Of course many dispute that stating that the "Pit Bull" isn't actually a single breed. Which would put the Rottweiler into the number one slot. Regardless even separating the breeds one would classify as 'bully' would likely keep them in the 2 through 5 or higher slots, with the disparities between number of casualties dropping sharply as you go down the list by breed.

You touch on the problem there, the definition of Pit Bull in so many cases. Even Ohio law is another example of that (read if you're not sure what I'm talking about there.) The stats are just screwed up. Brian, thanks but I've got her taken care of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I bet if cocker spaniels weighed 95+ pounds they would kill a lot more people... but they dont. Rots and pit bulls kill more people because of the type of owners they attract. If those same idiots started breeding german shepards they would take over the top spot.

evan9381 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 search for the couple posts about my g/fs parents cocker spaniel they got from a rescue place going apeshit on her mom when she moved while the dog was somewhat laying on her lap ended up getting like 30+ stitches, docs could see through her arm, and she still has pain in her arm/hand...this was easter 08, so like a year and a half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
