gnasher16 29,649 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 As regards man aggressive dogs ive always thought an out and out indiscriminate biter that hates people is far easier to control ( on a yard obviously ) than an unpredictable dog i was round a number of dogs years back that wanted to hurt me as quick as look at me and between a couple of you they was quite easy to deal with.....but the dog you usually walk up to to fuss and this time he hits the end of his chain like he's going to tear your arm off......they're just bad news thankfully they are few and far between. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,290 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have been round dogs all my life and I’m alright round them, I consider I have a pretty good understanding of them and I wouldn’t have the confidence to take on an APBT or any proper bull dog for that matter…..it would just be beyond my circumstances and capabilities. I just despair when you see absolute pet homes getting such animals. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not to say you're someone who spooks easily but anyone who can read dogs shouldnt have a problem with a pit bull,whether you could get the best from it thats a whole different ball game. There was always a lot of hysteria surrounding the breed via the media etc......i shaped up a lot of dogs years ago and the vast majority were a pleasure to be around.....its just that the bad ones were f****n bad ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,942 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Always remember seeing pictures of that poor sod who was attacked in the street by a apbt in Lincolnshire I think years ago they had ripped his ears off and made a right mess. I walked a couple years ago that came out of Ed Reids kennels good natured dogs but I would not have had them around kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I've owned and kenneled both pure and half breds, and 99% of them have been wonderful animals to work. But there have been a few, as has been mentioned that can turn like the flick of a switch... Anything 'manny' I just won't keep, my style of kenneling and ownership just doesn't work with this type. No matter how good the dog. Dogs from 'manny' lines are specialist and need to be kept by knowing, specialist owners. I always find it sad that these dogs ended up in pet homes. What's sadder still, is that those lines are now so diluted that you'd never know it was in the dog till the enevitable happened, and even then mugs keep breeding out of that same stuff...

Luckily I managed to lift my arm and jam that in his mouth so he bit that instead of my neck, never a bother. But a proper formula 1 pit dog is imho (and uneducated opinion) not something to be trifled with and if it don’t have an outlet for it’s nature then something is going to go wrong, and if it gos wrong it going very wrong indeed.

I have no experience of them at all so I figured don’t get involved with something that’s a possible different story to anything else I have ever owned…..pride comes before a fall as they say. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
