LOL, I knew DCUM would call out the "extension" part. Some things are so predictable! |

I mean, even if it wasn't. It's a masters thesis for crying out loud. |

| We have a pit mix. Have had her since she was 2 months old (and we know where she was from birth). We have trained her well and she is sweet and obedient now at 5 years old. We have two kids and she has been socialized with MANY people over the years. |

DH's parents have pits because that's what they have at the shelter. Their last dog, who was a sweetie, bit the UPS man several times. Apparently not badly, didn't maul the man, just bit him. On more than occasion.
How nice. |

Actually, they were. Just not something we want to discuss as part of our shameful history. |

Oh okay, so you're going to claim people of certain races are more dangerous but people who dislike certain dog breeds are the real racists? |

My friend's Havanese has bitten their maid and trainer. Twice. Not mauled, but has drawn blood (and need for stitches) two of the four bites. Just thought I'd share. I don't have a pit, but i really don't like irresponsible dog owners in general. |

That's quite the conclusion you jumped to. If I were going to claim anything of the sort (which I am not) I would be inclined to say that whites are most dangerous given what they have done to people over the centuries. But that's not what I said. What I said is that the PP's statement was not actually correct. Humans were "bred" too. That lad is big and works well, so does she, they need to have kids. Get it? |

What about the Aztecs and how they killed people? Or the warring tribes in Africa? How about the Mongols? Genghis Khan killed so many people he created an acute ice age due to lack of greenhouse emissions on account of all the people he killed. |

| It’s irresponsible and very vain to think that you as a pet owner can predict/ train/ overcome inherited pit bull dog traits. Also where do you think these dogs come from? They are part of an underground illegal dog fighting/ junk yard guarding group of animals that have been selectively bred for aggression. They are a large very strong dog. You are not going to change that. Why do you think so many are at shelters that came from “somewhere”. You have no idea what you are getting. As far as having one around my kids my family. No think you. The statistics are frightening to say the least. |

Ok you two. I think you're both on the same side of this. Yes, humans have occasionally been bred for differences. But not to nearly the same extent as dogs, with the same effect. Also, humans are humans, and dogs are dogs. Cool? |

OP, know that there are other reasonable people out here who don’t damn an entire breed. Many of us have adopted pitties in the DMV or we know people who have adopted pitties.
My 80 year old mom had a pit mix who lived to around 12, he was her constant companion. He followed her around the house, snuggled with her on the sofa, etc. She cried so hard when he died. That dog didn’t do one aggressive thing in the entire time she had him (adopted when he was about a year) and he was nothing but lovely company for her. At one point my mom had to have surgery and when she came home that dog was glued to her on the bed while she recuperated. He didn’t even want to leave her to go for walks. He was gentle around her as if he knew he had to be. |

So have many if the pits and mixes who have mauled kids. |

You don’t need a Harvard paper, anyone can look at dog bite and deaths statistics by breed and see the data in black and white. I think it’s racist to compare that data to racism. Please don’t use that term with dogs. |

And what about this? Pit Bull part of the police K-9 unit. I supposed we’ll hear, “the dog isn’t dead yet, good luck.” |
