Bad enough the media try to link these pricks to the hunting world without doing it on here ourselves Whats being said is if you dont know f**k all about it then how can you comment? the majority of animal lovers wich are against hunting think its cruel killing a cute fox, they dont have a idea of what its really about, they just jump to conclusions. We all know the amount of shit written in the papers etc about hunting and its all a load of shite, so is what the papers say about pitt bull owners etc true? Try and look at the bigger picture,instead of doing what the antis and general public do and believe all the shit written in the papers! oh, and you wanted a link from bull owners to working dogs - where do you think the truely game bull x's came from??? If your trying to imply that i am an anti then your are very wrong and way off the mark. Whats the bigger picture that i am missing mr know-it f**k in all? Hunting men using hunting dogs.........quality!!!! Little men trying to boost there ego are into dog fighting. Im not implying your an anti, what im saying is try and look at the bigger picture other than jumping on the band wagon. If there is bad press on hunting plenty of people all go along with it and believe the bullshit, thats what your doing with the bull breed. I dont know anything about dog fighting, so i cant comment on it, at the end of the day were all dogmen/wowmen, be it terriers/lurchers/bull breeds etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edd_Wiltshire 9 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nightrunner wrote this when i put my views on dog fighting on the thread: 'One day Foxhounds, Beagles, Lurchers of all cross and any dog associated with hunting might very well share the same ban, Where will you stand then?' Thats why i took the bait a little! I have nothing against legal Bull breeds at all, not my cup of tea but each to their own. Just a shame for bull owners that the majority of these dogs that are seen by the public have a tw*t attached to the other end of the lead. Skinz said 'I dont know anything about dog fighting, so i cant comment on it' well do we all have to have an in depth knowledge of dog fighting to be against it? Any dog can attack yes, but no dog will pile in like a pit and cause damage in such a short time. Im sure that lad in liverpool said his dog would never attach anyone, they never will till they do.

Born Hunter 17,832 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Jigsaw, you talk alot of sense to people who are open minded enough to listen. Ive read your piece in darcys NTWICTW2 and what you have written in the past on here and your love and experience of strong dogs and bull types is obvious. Just a shame its not people like you who are portrayed to the public! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You idiots talking about dog matching like you know what your talking about because you have read newspaper reports should accept any anti who comes on this site and calls you a monster for hunting down poor defenceless animals ...you just cant have it both ways ! I have recently come back from america sorting some buiseness but spent 2 days on the yard of a dogman with some of the cleanest,healthiest most vigorous and human friendly apbt,s i have ever come across in near 30 years around dogs,these dogs oozed class and breeding and it was a privelege to be amongst such quality and years of history and knowledge. Reading headlines and topics such as these simply put things in perspective and make me realize the true lovers of the apbt breed can live happily with the memories and be comfortable with the fact the idiots like some of those posting here never did or never will have......and thats the pleasure of those memories and this very special breed of dog.

theferreter 311 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 On 26/02/2010 at 15:09, blan said: the dogs that are illegal are 'pitbull types' so a staff with long legs could potentially qualify as one, its not based even on a real breed just looks, a labxboxer could be viewed by the law as a pitbull type, heritage does not matter just looks,and to all the people who are anti bull breeds, do you think it would be worse or better if all the apbt owners owned another breed?no of course not it would be alot worse bull-terriers have been bred for a very long time NOT to attack people (they will if theyre raised to do so like any other animal) wheras your fufu breeds have not,you give a thousand dickhead wanna be gangsters poodles and it would be worse than them havin apbt's because the apbt has a MUCH higher tolerance toward people because in times of old 'man-biters' were culled,wheras in alot of breeds it was encouraged or they were indifferent,its all just ignorance on the anti bull breeds part. bsl doesnt work or help anyone i hope every person who supports it dies in a very slow and painful way along with their whole families i have a leggy staffy and she looks nothing like a pit only people who can tell the differerence between these dogs will no a staff doesnt look like pit :thumbs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,899 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Gnasher good man for posting your honest opinions for all to see,I think it will be hard for anyone to pick holes with that post of yours.The pit bull is what it is only because of those past (and some present)owners/breeders that kept the highest standards for their dogs,men of outstand foresight and knowelege that most if not all of us could not comprehend even if it was explained to us SLOWLY.Again in the right hands their the best breed of dog any man could wish for,but a lot of the wannabees that have them at the moment are the worst masters any dog could ever envisage ending up with.You have to have a certain way about you to click with bull terrier dogs ,theyre not for everyone but if they are for you then theres no going back.Great debate and very composed.Great to see true fans of the breed emerging.
