Posted: 9/6/2006 4:32:56 PM | Ok--I'm assuming you know dogs.
Baring teeth can be either aggressive or submissive (Yeah, dogs are hard for the novice to read. Kind of like women).
If you know dogs, you know the difference. An aggresive snarl involves raising the upper lip; a submissive grin involves baring the upper and lower teeth. And the fact that he was advancing on you doesn't fit with submissive.
Just remember--don't judge all members of a purebreed by a mongrel who has an ancestor in common with them.
(On a related note, tail wagging is not always friendly. A waved tail held high is a dominance challenge.)
If you are interested in protecting yourself with sub-lethal force, mace is very effective against dogs. In fact, it works better on dogs than it does on humans. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 8:34:42 PM | | I love all dogs and they love me but I can easily get scared by dogs but They still love me I was on a Jenny Craig diet and often went out walking all times this was very early in the morning I live where the roads were more gravell than pavement. Not Noticing for how long i was walking towards this Pit Bull pretty big was very strange he started to cross towards me and Im freakin in my head saying keep away I still kept walking and the Pitt Bull went back to his side of the road and ignored me. I was taking my daughter in her stroller at around 10 months of age I didnt no much about breeds Id seen Pitt Bulls before an never made that connection with that much notice these adorable little puppies were up on the side of my daughters stoller She loved them they were happy dogs. Someone then came to me and said so much for fear of Pit bulls. Late at night, I was followed often by a med.sized black lab he was following me everywhere I said in a bold voice get lost and the look on that poor dogs face and the pouting noise I felt like the mean one I was playing cuddling and babying a tiny Pit bull so darling pure black and was told he will never get mean if you treat him like that. I do personnally know a pitt bull that attacked a small child She has had proper surgery I cant remember How many hundreds of stitchs, She still likes dogs but Im sure shes afraid of them I was bit and got a few stitchs when I w2as tiny.. It was a pretty nice farm dog when I was small and I falsly understood they put him down I felt guilty most my life and the someone told me they had kept that dog for years. | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 8:53:40 PM | The APBT is an excellent breed of dog,scores the mid eighty percentile in Temprament tests,has been a common breed in our country for over 100yrs.Like most products of hype,fear and ignorance,breed specific laws are wrong and ineffective.
Be a resposible dog owner,get your pet fixed and you'll never have a problem vs any other breed. | |

| pit bull dog ban
Posted: 8/5/2007 4:27:03 PM | | I have two dogs a 2 yr old lab and a 2yr old pit bull my pit has never once offered to bite anyone my lab on the other hand I believe would and could. My pit is a big baby I feel bad that people are afraid of him he wants everyone to pet him. If we have company he thinks they are there to see him. He loves the meter reader and the ups guy. My lab on the other hand hates them both and would bite if given the chance. The last vet visit we were at the vet said himself that pits get a bad rap he "can't rememberthe last time a pit tried to bite him" unlike many other breads including huskies and shepards. My pit loves our cat and her 5 kittens he will lay and watch the kittens while the mother is away and when she was a kitten he slept with her and cuddled her. we joked that he got pregnant and had a kitten he cleaned her and all. I believe no matter the bread you need to be a responsible pet owner they are animals and you can never predict their behavior. Hitch them on a short leash little food and little water they will be ugly. Let them sleep with you and respect you as the alpha dog but show them respect too and you will have a good dog. I don't believe there are any bad breeds maybe bad dog owners before you get any dog know what you are getting and how to care for them. be responsible | |
