LOL I'm repped out for this thread too! Nice to see so many fans of the breed standing up for them!

Re: Pit Bulls
On Court Tv's message board on the animal forum (they just gave it back to us after almost a year without) there was a pit bulls are the devil thread but it's turned into 5 pages of people telling their my pit is the coolest, mine's a service dog, mine blah blah blah thread... the haters don't stand a chance :D

Re: Pit Bulls
I've had to go through the same explanations on behalf of my Husky (who is an addicted snuggle bug) and my Boxer (who I must say has without a doubt the best temperment of any dog I've ever owned).
My pits were childhood pets, and my first ever girl, an all-white pit named Prissy, was my best friend and a constant guardian. She was mindful of my protection at all times, and would get upset and protective if my dad and I were rough-housing or he was spinning me around. I can understand where the "nanny" term comes from. Just had to give some love to my girl. :D

Re: Pit Bulls
Boxers are seriously awesome... I think a pit x boxer is an ideal dog. (if you can't have one of mine that is :D) I've seen Proof get funny about people swinging kids around too, and I also saw her discipline my friends pit x boxer when he mouthed my friend's arm in my living room one day. Some day she'll have kids of her own to care for, but for now she's content to be my second in command... Prissy sounds amazing! I wanted a white pit before I met Proof... I still love the look!! :beer:

A little bit, yes. My apologies. And I was "attacked" by my own standard poodle when I was 5 years old and I'm missing a piece of one of my right knuckles (a small one, but still...) He was in full stride when I grabbed his back leg, so I had it coming. So shouldn't I be more afraid of poodles, one of which attacked me, then pitbulls, one of which attacked my poodle?

Re: Pit Bulls
With as many pit fans as we have it's a shame we can step it up to voice our opinions on the BSL that's sweeping the nation.

To a degree, I would think so... Seeing as how you were personally injured by one, and the other was after your dog, but that's my opinion only.

bandaid legislation... the powers that be want to appear to be doing something... My hope is that with this new federal bill passed about animal fighting that we'll start seeing more of these thugs imprisoned and unfortunately there will be a lot of potentially great dogs killed, but my hope is that one day there will be fewer bred irresponsibly and fewer in the hands of horrible owners... Personally I'd like to see all dog breeding being done by licensed professionals educated like a vet and inspected by the USDA and a law in place against having your pet unspeutered... but that's a gibbrishclown fantasy right there... :(

Just an interesting note to add to this idea: I was told long ago by a trainer that IF you choose to play tug-of-war with your dog, don't let it win. If you can't win, don't play. So I guess it's really about establishing your dominance over the animal.
