What's the fascination the US citizen has with the American SHITBULL TERRIER?

It has to be one of the dumbest dogs on the planet
not particularly good at anything excepyt maybe savaging small kids and attacking other dogs

They have low IQs, are difficult to train and sometimes turn on their owner

You also see this mutt in the hoods of Mexico and the trailer trash regions of Europe, they have slightly different breeds like Staffordshire Bull and Bull Terrier

The dog could have been something but the bloodline got messed up, its full of human-agressive mutts and the breed was used by drug dealers, gamblers and dog fighters, I would love to cull this dumb fuckingbreed of dog, ship them all to the Phillippines, stick them into a burger and restart the breed.

Agreed. They cause far more trouble than they are worth. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost billions in reconstructions every year. I think only people that have an exotic pet license should have them.

I have a Chihuahua mix that has a dash of pit in it believe it or not (sometimes you get one that looks a little like a Doberman, or a terrier, but ours has the pit squint eyes and overly square jaw and he's boxy)
he's great with us, but a total bastard with other people, and you can't believe how hard I've tried to train it out of him.

There's no way in hell I'd own one that weighs any more than 20 lbs...

Again JYNEZTOWN I see you post according to your opinion and not based on any facts.

"If there was a manual describing ideal Pit Bull temperament, it would
probably read something like this: "The Pit Bull is goofily friendly towards

people - family, friends, and strangers alike. Known for its sound
character, strong nerve, and great intelligence, the breed makes an ideal
companion for households with children, while remaining strong and
vigilant enough to protect its loved ones if need be. It is never necessary
to embark on guard or attack training with this breed, as they are
naturally attuned to their environment and intuitive about real threats.
Although never aggression towards people without real need, the Pit Bull
may show dog-directed aggression, but sensitivity to other dogs will vary
from dog to dog. The properly socialized and trained Pit Bull should not be
an instigator, yet it is unlikely for the breed to shy away from a challenge.

The breed is known for its high prey drive, and so due caution should be
exercised when cats, rabbits, domestic fowl, and other such animals are
present. Dog-sensitivity and high prey drive should not be viewed as a
fault, although excessive, uncontrollable aggression is neither desired nor
correct. Aggression towards humans should be viewed as a serious fault."

Here is an another example JAYNETOWN of facts exposing your posting of bullshit and lies. After reading this do us all and favor and crawl back under your rock.

"Hoax map exposes fake refugee stories to spread 'facts instead of prejudice'

Last summer, as the number of migrants and refugees fleeing to Europe began to soar, so did the number of news stories about them. But German Karolin Schwarz, 30, was finding that not all of those stories were true.

On Feb. 8, as the number of rumors and fake stories about them surged, Schwarz, a business consultant, and her colleague Lutz Helm, a software developer, created a "hoax map" to debunk them.

"We were seeing more and more rumors about refugees committing crimes or receiving excessive health care, [and] we wanted to create something to counter this trend and maybe give people a tool to check up on stories they have been hearing," Schwarz told Mashable via email on Wednesday.

The interactive "hoax map" pinpoints the locations of each fake story. Clicking on the pins opens a small window with a brief summary of each false report and a link to where it originated.

The map lists 243 "hoaxes" in all, with 187 points marked across Germany, according to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung's count."

Dude, google images "Pit mauls child" "Pit mauls woman" "Pit mauls man".

A "PET" should not be capable of that. You should not be allowed to let something run around your house that can do that to a full grown person.

They need to NOT be bred, and to be slowly phased out of existence.

Estimates are there are 5,256,000 Pit Bulls in the United States. You site three examples. Don't forget Morons teach pit bulls to attack and the dog gets the blame.

"Think about the facts before you judge. Pit Bull Statistics are what they are. It’s how you choose to interpret them, or listen to the biased interpretations.

According to the American Temperament Test Society, temperament evaluations of American Pit Bull Terriers shows that this breed has a very high passing rate of 82.6%.

The average passing rate for the other 121 breeds of dogs in the tests: 77%.

Look at the facts below. Pit Bulls have gone through so much, yet they’re still less likely to attack you then a Rottweiler, German Shepherd, or a Chow. Pit Bulls are facing bans across the United States and across the world, yet society is to blame, because they’re the ones tearing the breed apart. For many people, Pit Bulls are nothing more then an asset, for making money. These people mass produce Pit Bulls, force them to fight for their lives, and when they lose their fight, they’re killed. Many situations occur where the Pit Bull will be hung, electrocuted, shot, etc., yet THEY ARE THE ONES TO BLAME? I find that a little contradicting don't you?"

You just answered your own question. The dog is a representation of the USA. Dumb, vicious, attacks others...

Is it any wonder Trump's the frontrunner for the GOP? He's the embodiment of everything they hold dear. Dumb as a fucking stump, relying all his life on bailouts and handouts, and yet convinced he's done it all himself.

I don't buy that statistic for ONE SECOND.

Follow the news. Read what type dog did it. I have, for a decade. Pits absolutely do the most damage, and over half the time it's a family pet that they have had for years and you see over and over "We never expected him to do that."

If you can't trust a pet to not eat your face off, it's NOT A GOOD PET.

For the record, Rottweiler's need to go to.

You might think you are making some kind of point here, but Wishimay is correct here, she is smarter and wiser than you

But do pit bulls deserve their reputation as vicious "attack" dogs? An overwhelming amount of evidence suggests they do.

A five-year review of dog-bite injuries from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, published in 2009 in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, found that almost 51 percent of the attacks were from pit bulls, almost 9 percent were from Rottweilers and 6 percent were from mixes of those two breeds.

In other words, a whopping two-thirds of the hospital's dog-attack injuries involved just two breeds

http://dogs.petbreeds.com/stories/4046/dog-breeds-attack#35-pit-bull
Attacks doing bodily harm: 3,397
Deaths: 295

Pit Bull behavior has long been debated and scrutinized in the dog world. Though many pit bulls are perfectly lovable and good with children, there is an incredibly disproportionate number of attacks doing bodily harm — most notably fatal attacks — that are worth raising an eyebrow about. A trait common in pit bulls, getting angry and attacking without any warning, is a contributing factor. Not being able to spot the subtle warning signs pit bulls give off puts adults at significant risk in said scenarios.

http://www.dogsbite.org/dangerous-dogs-pit-bull-myths.php
Myth #1: It's the owner not the breed

The outdated debate, "It's the owner, not the breed," has caused the pit bull problem to grow into a 30-year old problem.1 Designed to protect pit bull breeders and owners, the slogan ignores the genetic history of the breed and blames these horrific maulings -- inflicted by the pit bull's genetic "hold and shake" bite style -- on environmental factors. While environment plays a role in a pit bull's behavior, it is genetics that leaves pit bull victims with permanent and disfiguring injuries.

The pit bull's genetic traits are not in dispute. Many appellate courts agree that pit bulls pose a significant danger to society and can be regulated accordingly. Some of the genetic traits courts have identified include: unpredictability of aggression, tenacity ("gameness" the refusal to give up a fight), high pain tolerance and the pit bull's "hold and shake" bite style.2 According to forensic medical studies, similar injuries have only been found elsewhere on victims of shark attacks.3

Purveyors of this myth also cannot account for the many instances in which pit bull owners and their family members are victimized by their pet dogs. From 2005 to 2014, pit bulls killed 203 Americans, about one citizen every 18 days. Of these deaths, 53% involved a family member and a household pit bull.4 Notably, in the first 8 months of 2011, nearly half of those killed by a pit bull was its owner. One victim was an "avid supporter" of Bad Rap, a recipient of Michael Vick's dogs.5

Myth #2: It's impossible to identify a pit bull

Myth #3: Human-aggressive pit bulls were "culled"

Q: What is the history of the pit bull?

The blood sport of "bull baiting" began over 1,000 years ago in England (various sources dispute this date). What is undisputed is that by 1500, bull baiting had progressed to Britain's national pastime. Bulldogs were reportedly first mentioned by name in 1631, referring to their function rather than a distinct dog breed. By 1800, and through further selective breeding, the bulldog developed into a compact muscular dog characterized by tremendous jaw strength.3

Due to public outrage, bull baiting was banned in England in 1835. Bulldog breeders and owners

It's possible that the overwhelming number of dog attacks involve pit bulls because the overwhelming number of dogs are pit bulls or pit mixes.

I had a lost cat once, so I went to the pound to find kitty (He wasn't there. He showed up at home, fat and happy, ten days later. Apparently, he'd been vacationing at someone else's house!) and decided to stroll thru the dog kennels and I swear to god, at least half of them were pits or mixes. That says more about people than pits, 'cause most of the homies around here like pits (and tatoos) because of their aggressive reputation. Yep, driving around with shaved heads in an old truck with a pit in the back and "BOOM ta-ta BOOM ta-ta" from the stereo that can be heard five miles away. Fucking assholes.

Another time, I was at the vet with my senile Samoyed. They're called the fox-faced dog, or the smiling dog. Because the breed has a built-in smile (the Sammies in the USA have been bred to be bigger, with a blunter nose and less "smile", but she was the original type) like this
she just looked like a white happy puffball. Unfortunately, in her dotty old age she would bite - hard- and without warning. So while we were in a crowded vet's waiting room, and everyone was backing up in fear from the pit bull, they were backing up into HER. I had to warm everyone away, and took her to wait outside.

Anyway, there are other dogs at least as aggressive as pits, if not more so, and ALL of those breeds make poor choices as pets. Chows in particular are known to be snappy. Dobermans, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Rotweilers, and the "sled dogs". Cane Corso, There are a number of mastiff breeds which have been bred to be fighting or guard dogs, altho the two most comical and friendliest dogs I ever met were Bull Mastiffs.

Since "most aggressive" lists tend to be based on bite statistics, which partly depends on the number of dogs owned and the size of the dog, someone actually did a study on the temperament of the dog breed irrespective of level of ownership and size and found

Quote:
Breeds with the greatest percentage of dogs exhibiting serious aggression (bites or bite attempts) toward humans included Dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Jack Russell Terriers (toward strangers and owners); Australian Cattle Dogs (toward strangers); and American Cocker Spaniels and Beagles (toward owners). More than 20% of Akitas, Jack Russell Terriers and Pit Bull Terriers were reported as displaying serious aggression toward unfamiliar dogs. Golden Retrievers, Labradors Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Brittany Spaniels, Greyhounds and Whippets were the least aggressive toward both humans and dogs. Among English Springer Spaniels, conformation-bred dogs were more aggressive to humans and dogs than field-bred dogs

7/abstract

So yeah, some small dogs, too, tend to be aggressive WAY beyond their size: they snap, growl, lunge and yap, but who the heck care? They're too small to do much damage.

And everybody knows that purebreds are their own special hell, not only because of unstable temperament but also because of health problems. So, seriously, while I agree with you about pits, that judgment extends to about 25% of the available breeds. They need to be re-bred, with all of those genetic defects bred out of them.

Give me a happy rambunctious German Shorthair or Laborador mix any day!
