matt_hooks 188 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 When people say bull, most people hear "Pit Bull", and they are nasty dogs, even when kept by the best owners in the world. It's down to the short temper. Most dogs will warn before attacking, a pit bull will go from completely calm seeming to full on, out to kill attack mode with no warning in between. Staffies, which most people think are the same, are a completely different kettle of fish. A temper a mile long, and they will run away and hide rather than hurt someone. Even when cornered they will try not to hurt humans. Dogs on the other hand, are fair game. I have a staff x lab, and he's completely mental, but wouldn't hurt a human for the world. He plays rough though, as all terriers do, and some dogs don't appreciate that, and it can turn into a bit of a snarling match! Pit Bulls are banned because they are f#####g dangerous, especially with the types that tend to own them. Quote Link to post
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sorry Matt_Hooks but you are talking absolute bollocks. Pit Bulls are like any other dog breed, there are good and bad examples. I was in America recently and met several pitbulls. They were all perfectly well mannered, due to their owners socialising them from a young age and enforcing boundaries, like you would any other dog. They are undoubtedly powerful animals, so if they do fight they inflict bad injuries, but so are Bullmastiffs, Rottweilers and other large well muscled dogs. Do a search in the general talk section for the top 5 most dangerous dogs. I think the thread will surprise you, but be very informative. Ug Quote Link to post
dare 1,103 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 matt_hooks im actually in shock that someone who has enough interest in dogs to be on a forum is such a thick b*****d to make such a statement. Pitbulls are banned because c**ts like you make them sound appealing to the wrong type and believe the shit the media feed you. 2 Quote Link to post
