Favorite: GS, Beagles, Yorkies, Bichon, Cavalier types. Most big dogs.

Dislike: Anything drooly, anything that sheds or poodles/poodle mixes.

Also, most pits are good - it is the owners of some dogs (big and small) that are awful and irresponsible.

Sad that a few dogs color your opinion on so many dogs! Guilty until proven innocent, right?

Nah, for pits it's more like, assume every one is a loaded gun and handle appropriately.

Profiling isnt cool. There is no such dog as a pitbull. How do you know it is the American lit bull terrier that madethe attack and not the chow or German Sheperd in them? And dont forget these dogs are the most abused

Don’t care. They are all useless dogs.

tell me what teacup yorkies do

They don’t murder people.

Ah but we are talking about how "useful" one is. You could have said the teacup Yorkies are useful for companion. Just like pit bulls. Btw, again humans murder and yet we don't condemn every human!

Here is a fair and balanced review of "pit bull" types: https://www.rover.com/blog/important-pit-bull-facts/

My pit bull mix ( also has Australian Shepherd) which can also have problems with socializations! Yes yes but, they don't MAUL anyone! But they can be problem dogs:

These links are such obvious Pit lobby nonsense that are anything but "fair and balanced" but I just can't let the last one go. Have you ever trained protection dogs, PP? Therapy dogs? Seeing eye dogs? Search and rescue dogs? Well, I have. And while your crap little "save bulls!" link makes it seem like these are jobs these dogs can do, let me disabuse you of that notion. They are top of the list of THE shittiest breed you can use as working dogs. Period, stop, end of story. They're terrible at it. Their biddability does not work well in any of these situations. They can attack, but they won't release. They can be calm and lovely, and they've been known to turn on their owners when there is an unpredictable event like a seizure, even killing them. They're glutting the shelters, police have certainly tried using them, but their lack of loyalty (over half of people killed by pits are in the family) doesn't work, because they get excited by the violence itself and lack discernment, which is a huge issue. This "workforce" thing is like someone trying to say the chihuahua is lauded for it's great contributions on the job. Stop that crap. You can like them all you want, but that's totally ridiculous and no one but a Pit nut whose over the edge would try to swing that argument. Tried them as working dogs, they failed. Utterly.

This this this. Because they are NOT working dogs. They are nothing like Dobemans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, etc

Fav: golden retrievers
Dislike: any aggressive dog

[Anonymous]

Faves: Big, affable, loyal social dogs such as labs, retrievers, irish setters, our Australian Labradoodle (does not shed and is super chill)
Dislike: small dogs that you cannot wrestle with and/or any dog that barks a lot. Dogs that have high-pitched barks -- usually smaller ones -- drive me nuts.

Hate pit bulls, any pit-bull mix, and any of those other dogs that have a reputation of violence. Like Cane Corsos and like.

And for the poster, who seems intent on defending Pitt Bulls every time it came up in this thread, yes, even one percent pitt is too much for me. I am the poster that wants to eradicate them by attrition. If they are all spayed and neutered, no more pitt bull puppies. a very humane way to get rid of the breed. And one of the reasons that this breed in particular is being called out by me, is because of posters like you that no matter how dangerous they are, they want to share what lovely dogs they are. We don't get the same response from people who are German Shepherd or Doberman enthusiasts. They know that it takes a certain kind of owner to have one of those type of dogs. Pitbull owners are just over the top and think that anybody can own them. And that's why we have the problem we have with that breed. So blame yourself for making people hate the breed.

Hello. First of all, there is ONE t in pit. Second I'm sure in the past when Doberman or German Shepherds were/are being vilified they would strongly defend them. But, remember we didn't have the internet when they were seem as "bad" dogs so you can not compare my defending them.

Remember there are FIVE breeds that make up pit bull dogs. I think they are the only dog breed that has that many and with mixes you have many many more variations.

"Here are the five breeds: American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire terriers, American Bully, Staffordshire bull terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers .

https://www.thesprucepets.com/pitbull-dog-breeds-4843994pit bull" types now and then.

You have your first amendment right to say your opinion on how YOU hate the breeds and wish they weren't here BUT I also have the right to MY opinion and I will defend them. No where did I say that these dogs are for everyone. The same way German Shepherds are not for everyone. But, I am not for banning them or wishing they didn't exist. Remember your history. German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois were used as police dogs to attack Civil Right movement protesters and also by Nazis to attack Jews and other people. They have the right to exist as do "Pit bull' types and the mixes.

Are there dogs that attack and do serious harm to people, children and pets. Yes. But, first if a dog is 33 percent pit and other dogs that are "tough" German Shepherds etc how do you know that it isn't that part that makes them aggressive?

And lastly, poorly trained dogs and abused dogs can not be held responsible for what the humans put them through. If you chain your dog to the back yard, never feeding them or taking care of their physical or emotional needs and then train them to fight you cannot expect them to be animals that know how to live in harmony with the world.

So in the end while I have the ability to see that some animals harm other people etc there are good "pit bulls" who have been heroes. Your denial of this is just as stubborn as me defending them. So, as long as I can type I will say my opinion and defend these dogs.

I don't care if you respond but, you do not have the right to silence me.

the double 't' and its continued use after being corrected multiple times is just emblematic of their overall low threshold of information and critical thought.

Or their spell check auto changes it Regardless of how it us spelled, pit bulls are not appropriate pets. The pit in pit bull is because the dog was bred to fight in a pit. That is a fighting dog. Not a herder or any other type of working breed.
I have to say, based on this thread alone, the owners or enthusiasts match the dog breed.

Dogs that shed a lot and dogs that drool. Gross.

So are you saying that pitts have such awful, irresponsible owners that mauling/killing is reasonable "misbehavior" from a dog?

I seriously doubt that these parents were so awful, they trained their pitts to kill their own children

Or that the grandma trained this dog to kill her grandson?
https://www.fox5dc.com/news/dog-kills-2-year-old-virginia-boy-in-maryland

If I were to be an "awful, irresponsible owner", and decide to stop training my dog for so long she decides to go on a rampage, she's likely to jump on the table and steal food, rummage through the trash, bark for way too long at random people that walk by my house, and chew my kids' toys. No matter how much I ignore her, or let her stop respecting boundaries, or neglect training her, she will not kill or maul people. I would never do that, but if I did she'd be horrible to live with, but she is not a killer. I don't have to train her to not maul people, just like those other owners did not have to train their pitts to kill their children. It is normal for untrained dogs to jump, bark, steal food, chase cars, chew toys, dig holes, etc... It is not normal for untrained dogs to kill/maim people, no matter how awful or irresponsible the owners are.

So you don't like any dog that sheds, but most of the dogs you like shed and you don't like poodles or doodles who don't shed?

The copious shedding and drooling will never make me not love Great Pyrenees Mountain Dogs.

The last dog had pit and mastiff. So why blame the pit instead of the mastiff?
