so I'm wrong for having a chow mix in a family house? it is NOT the dog that kills, it is the PEOPLE. Seriously. think about the type of people that <i>generally</i> own pits- the shady type of people who want their dogs to be mean. they TRAIN the dogs to be mean- the breed themself isn't automatically mean. I have a chow/doberman mix, and she has never, ever bit anybody, never ever displayed any agressive behavior.
AND there are a lot of dogs that are wrongly labeled as pit bulls so of course the "numbers" for bites by pitbulls are rather high- because it's the wrong breed of dogs. for example- a "staffie" looks like a pitbull but in reality it's not- but the public automatically thinks it's a pitbull. The media just loves stories about pit bull attacks- I can guarantee you there's a whole lot of other attacks by different breeds but since its not "a pit bull" the media won't cover it. U know those little toy breeds that run at you and start growling/nipping at your ankles? that's techincally considered an attack- but because they're small nobody thinks its aggressive behavior- instead oh gosh its cute!
people saying that all chows/pits/rots are "bad dogs" and cannot be "trusted" are racist- literally. it's like saying "well, black people commit the most crime in inner cities, so LETS BAN THEM!" think labs are sweet dogs? no they're not.
I'm quite stubborn about this issue- because people who think like you are (im sorry) idiots. so here's just a few light readings
*this just reinforces my point about a lot of the wrong breeds are labeled a pit.*
oh oh oh and this is my favorite part-
this one confirms what i said about the little toy breeds
a very good point
all this above from
this article.
this was an FAQ concerning the ban of pits from the CVMA :
*chicago veterinary medical association*
and galaxyangel, u said "k9" *by the way, they're ACTUALLy called german shepards* leave small wounds? are you SURE about that? going to bet your life on it?
a german shepard did that. to a little boy, no less. well gee, there you go, they AREN'T dangerous! /sarcasm.
Bulldogs dont bite? really? gosh, I never heard of htat...
This says you're either a liar or you're horribly misinformed.
*this was filed under golden retriever, but it says yellow lab ret.*
Sorry galaxy, but once again you're wrong.
If ALLLLL pit bulls are sooo dangerous like you people say- why didn't this one just kill the pomeranion? Seriously?
I'm not saying pit bulls <b>never</b> attack people, they do, BUT I'm saying you cannot JUST ASSUME that if its a pit, it's dangerous. OTHER DOGS DO bite and injure/fatally kill people.
In the future, I would appreciate it if you guys who think all pits/chows/etc are vicious would get FACTS, not just "i saw, i said, she saw, she said, he saw, he said."
My family had a pit when I was a baby. Hi, I'm here, no bites at all from that little fella. My friend has a pit and two young children. no bites at all. he actually lies there and lets the kids jump/pull on him. My chow/doberman mix just lies there and lets you do whatever you want to her. My schanzuer/poodle mix, however, will snap at you if you do something she doesn't like. Yeah, the chow one is more dangerous. *rme*
again, it's the PEOPLE that make the breed dangerous- even if it might not be the owner itself it's the breeder for purposely breeding to make the dog mean.
I can keep on going all day all night, people.
That's because I'm well-equipped with the FACTS.
Exactly!!,
