So minihaha im a bit confused, are you supporting the facts that pitbull are more dangerous than any other breed?

I do not believe that media coverage constitutes justification for labelling a breed dangerous.

Hi Dawn

This is very much a guess but I'd imagine it's often because the dogs have been kept under duress/stress/have had access to drugs/have been used for fighting/associate being "out" with high adrenalin type situations.

This is only a guess but if we suggest most APBT who do harm, serious harm, are kept by dibious people then it would make sense.

I remember one of the attacks some years back, I think it might even have been the one which led to the DDA although I can't be sure - the dog savaged a child in a play ground.

The dog was owned by a man who fought it, and who trained it exactly there in the playground - who gave it drugs and who was on drugs and dealt them himself. It was thought the dog was on drugs at the time of the attack if I remember well enough.

I'd guess this situation is fairly similar worldwide unfortunately

I doubt that most of these dogs who "snap" ever have any real training, guidance, vet care, kindness, and are exposed even by passive smoking to drugs and all sorts of stress

Just my view...

It is not a matter of they are more dangerous, that is too simplistic, but that given certain circumstances ( mentioned in my previous posts and those of others ) some of the breed have the potential to be more dangerous than some other breeds, not because they bite more but because the damage they cause in an attack is often much worse/has a higher fatality rate than that caused by other breeds.

But dont you think a Bull Mastiff or Neo Mastiff could do the same damage if not worse? A Malamute is big and very powerful dogs Minihaha, as are Akita, Great Danes and Even Giant Snchuers (i do not know how to spell this) I groomed one of these dogs, beautiful animal, very friendly but when it want to move it did and with power, I also cleaned its teeth and the jaws on that dog could have killed me!

I think you have been led to believe that these dogs are monsters when infact they are not!

Read the title of the thread Hayley Pit Bulls - Are they dangerous ..we are not discussing other breeds this thread is about Pit Bulls!
