Have you ever kept something odd/gross...
flygirl1 replied to skittles_of_SDC's topic in The Bonfire
I kept the screws that came out of the rod in my leg. My boyfriend kept his too. I think I'll put them in a display case with pics of us on crutches together. Is that gross? Fly like a girl -
Nope. Reverse it. They weren't trained to be loving dogs, so they're acting like the breed. Also, its not "saw" in the past tense, its "see" in the presence. Its an every day thing. Every day. Going after people is not "acting like the breed" The breed was never breed to go after people. It is one of the only breeds that was not. It only became a problem after they become such a trend in the wrong crowd. Most pitbulls out on the street are not "true" pitbulls but, mix breeds. I even adopted a dog I was told was a pitbull and really looked like a pitbull only to find out through DNA testing he had no pit in him. I'm not saying all pitbulls are perfect. I'm just saying don't discriminate against a whole breed just because some dogs were not raised right or were raised right and/or had a mean streak. I don't know where you live maybe some people are breeding/training some really bad dogs in your area or maybe in your line of work you come across some bad ones or may be the dogs you see look like pits but but I see pit's every day that are outstanding dogie sittisons. Therapy dogs family pets ect. We literally get thousands in the shelter every year that become great family pets. Any dog can be not so nice. We do a very extensive behavior test on all dogs we get and some have to be put down even pitbulls but, not that many. Not any more than another breed. I had a golden retriever who even though raised right would still attack any dog that would come near her and my friend had a lab that had to be put down because it attacked her more than once and we get many dogs turned over to the shelter who turn on people and honestly no more pit's than any other breed even less of them. Really. I really want to help animals as well as people and I would not be saying good things about pit's if I thought the breed was inherently bad. I'm sorry you had bad experiences with pit/pit type dogs but really they are not all like that. Most are not. Fly like a girl

So that's why I had to shoot one Thanksgiving morning to keep it from making an AggieDave chew toy? Yeah, real loving breed. Outside in the real world, they're exceptionally mean dogs. Like the one that a dealer let loose on a chick that owed him money for crack? She loves the breed too. We had to keep that one for the case, so I ended up using a taser to get it under control so that the ACO wouldn't become a chew toy. Understand that those are only two specific instances that I'm referencing. I could continue with specific examples for probably well over an hour. Yeah, real loving breed. They can be a real loving breed! I have personally seen way more good pitbulls than bad ones. Like I said more of them end up being adoptibal that a lot of other breeds. The ones you saw were probably trained t be that way by some really horable people. Unfortunately right now pitbulls are the trendy "bad dog" to own so a lot of unscrupulous people train them to be not so nice. We went through this trend with Rottweilers, doberman pinchers and German shepherds in the past. The problem with the pitbull breed it they have a huge desire to please their master and are extremely loyal. People use this to their advantage and to the dogs disadvantage. Fly like a girl

I've never been but, I had friends who went to Roatan on a diving vacation and absolutely loved it. I would go here if you want great scuba diving and time to relax. I have been to the Everglades and although they were cool I can think of a lot of other more exotic places I'd want to go kayaking if you want to travel. Peru would be awesome. You should definitely go here if you want more of a sight seeing adventure vacation. Fly like a girl

I'm so glad those dogs got a second chance. Thanks for posting that Lisa. I love it when pitbulls get good pr. They are such wonderful dogs and it is sad that some have to endure such horrific abuse. It's really too bad that after that they get such a bad rap in society and the media. They do need a responsible owner because some (not all) can have a tendency to be dog aggressive but, what most people don't know is that they are one of the few breeds to be bred specifically to be NONhuman aggressive. (If you were trying to pull two dogs in a fight apart the last thing you would want is for a dog to come after you. If they did they were killed or not bread. ) They where even called nanny dogs because they were so good with kids and could take all the ear/tail pulling, climbing on, rough housing the kids could give out and still be very gentle. The farmers would leave them home to baby sit their kids. We get in a huge amount of pitbulls in the shelter I volunteer at and most pass our temperament test with flying colors and are very adoptable. If fact we get more bite reports from golden retrievers, cocker spaniels and labs then pitbulls. Some huge problems pitbulls face are the media. When a lab/golden/dalmatian.... bites someone it's not really news worthy but when a pitbull does it's on every chanel. Another thing is that when people see a stocky well toned dog bite someone they report is as a pitbull when it really is not. I even adopted a dog I was told and thought was a mostly pit mix only to find out he has no pit in him at all. I'm not saying all pit's are perfect family pets with no problems at all. Like most breeds some are and some are not. Pitbulls do need a special owner that is committed to getting them trained, doing research before acquiring one and help improve their image by always making them a pillar in the dogie community. Here are some interesting web sites.

He does doesn't he He was dropped off at the shelter with a badly broken leg and very little history so I think they did just guess his breed. Fly like a girl

So I was in the vets office a month or so ago and she offered to DNA test my dogs for free since she needed more dogs for an article she was writing. Anyway I just got the results back and they were very interesting. Turns out the big one, Codey’s ancestry contains distant traces of Boxer, Bulldog and English Springer Spaniel. There are also faint signals from other breeds which are not strong enough to identify. The little one, Roger's ancestry contains some Chihuahua, German Pinscher, Shetland Sheepdog and Toy Fox Terrier. I was really shocked since when I adopted them I was told Codey was a mostly pit mix and Roger was a toy rat terrier Has anyone else had this done? Any cool results? Fly like a girl

QuoteBorrow neighbor's pit bull. Install pit pull in place of undesired behavior. You can borrow mine but, I don't think it will do much good since he is a big softy and lets my cats chase him around the house He loves them anyway and always brings them his toys it's really cute
