Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!! Now you've gone and melted my icy heart with a pic of a baby kitty!

That is a beautiful dog!!! Pits can be the best dogs when trained correctly.. I love them!

That collar is just fine too, to whoever said it was cruelty.

And where are you from where they ban pit bulls? Did you think this pit was a fighter dog?

Too bad these dogs got a bad name, Fluff is by far the coolest animal I have ever owned.

Could you upload a few? Would be great.
I love the pics :thumbsup

The collar around the pitt bull is called a Pinch Collar. It works by the blunt "barbs" pinching the skin around a dog's kneck between them.

These collars work well to handle and train a problem dog. They are not cruel. 99.99% of dog owners are not qualified to use them with their dog. Dogs can in fact be hurt by these collars. The Barbs, if pulled too hard, have been known to dig in and cause piercing wounds to the dog's neck. There is very rarely a NEED to use this collar.

While once a prefered training method, it's no longer a popular one. Dogs that need to be controled can be handeld with a bridle around the nose. This pulls the dog's nose down, like it would a horse. A dog can not fight against it and it will stop even the largest dog in it's tracks. Most Veternarians trained today do NOT reccomend using pinch collars. 3 out of 3 I know personally, including my sister, would not suggest this to be the best training method. At least one diagrees with their use all together.

Another problem with Pinch Collars is they are negative re-inforcment collars. The dog behaves because it does not want to be corrected. Once off the collar, often a dog's mindset will change. They know the collar is not there and they can not be corrected. Positive reinforcment is by far the more popular and humane method. A dog that is trained by being rewarded for his actions, will always be anxious to repeat said actions. Regardless if a collar is being worn or not.

I started using pinch collars with my Rottweilers before my sister showed me the light. I can handle 230 pounds of Rottweilers, with one hand and no Pinch Collars.

Here's my mini. Dotson, Angel... shes very timid, never bites anyone, always wants to sleep next to you ..too cute

question... I LOVE pits so much, I want to get one...and I keep hearing these things that piss me off, because I don't really believe them, maybe you can clear them up.....

Some of my friends tell me that pit bulls are, by blood, killers...that is, even if they're not trained to kill, they all have the potential to start attacking a kid or baby randomly...is that true? what about if your dog is trained strict and hardcore, could that still happen from a pit???

I used to have one of those, but he pissed on the floor so I had to give him away. Poor little fella.:1orglaugh

Absolute Rubbish. Any dog can snap. Breed is not a factor. Anyone that tells you otherwise just doesn't know.

Read this site and make up your own mind: http://www.fataldogattacks.com/

One concern however, some Airlines will not fly adult Pittbulls at all. They do have a bad repuation.

Pittbulls were bread to fight other dogs. They are not considered in the man stopper class of dogs (Rottweiler, Sheppard, Doberman) because they are not well suited as guard dogs. They're usually not big enough. Anybody who thinks a pittbull locked on to their arm is more dangerous that a Rottweiler pinning you to the ground, is simply wrong. You'll notice police and millitary use Sheppards, not Pittbulls.

Pittbulls that WERE bread for fighting, needed to be handled by people still. A dog that randomly attacked people, including handlers, would be destroyed.

If they are not raised around other dogs, or cats there can be some issues.... Fluff is aggro twords other dogs and cats. They can be trained to listen to you, ie.. Dog goes after another dog when you are walking him, you say "NO" he stops. These dogs are so great, and loyal. Any dog has the ability to randomly attack people, kids, or other animals.

here is some more info on the breed...

hope this helps

Thanx man..I'm glad, pits are awesome.... Only, I can't decide which I dogs I like more, Shepherd's or Pits...that's a tough one...

The responsibility really lies with you. Any dog can fatally attack a child. Read carefully the site I gave you.

Dogs of sufficient size to hurt a child, should not be left alone with children. Children behave differently than adults. Their body language can easily be misinterpreted by a dog.

The strength of a Pittbull's jaw means that if something DOES happen, it can turn out very, very bad.

Be a responsible partent and dog owner and you'll never have a problem.

That?s not entirely true...
They were first bred to kill mice and rats in a pit?
Time passed and they started putting 2 dogs in the pit, they started fighting, and eventually the mice/rats were taken out of the picture.

You've missed the point. The origin is not important. After two dogs fight, someone must handle them. If a dog is a good fighter, but can not be handled by anyone, it's near useless.

OMG Thats the cutest dog ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heres a pic of my baby Her name is Sophie

Pits are definitely man stoppers. The reason they're not used for guard work is because they can't reliably be called off of an attack. They're used for visiting patients in hospitals and some other stuff, just not as attack dogs. Also Pits are genetically predisposed to be people-friendly. When you try to train them to attack humans they can start showing serious psychological problems.

The Manstopper class of work dogs does not include pittbulls. Partly because some of the reasons you mentioned.

A much heavier Rottweiler, without a jaw that "locks", can bite hard enough to stop any human. The additional size makes them that much more effective.

Of course pittbulls could stop a man ... It's just a classification of training.

LMAO...that's fuckin great...:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Cute puppy Ross!! I love it! Here's a pic of my Lab Sadie when she was a baby.

Thanks a lot man, really appriciated :thumbsup

Cute!


Sugar glider?

Anyone who fights their dogs is a criminal and an asshole.

I absolutely agree. It's terribly inhumane. Anyone that does this to dogs should be locked in a room with some wild dogs. They'll get the point quickly.
