That link has nothing to do with the comment haha

The dog is a Staffordshire bull terrier. Not a dog that "didn't have the visual appearance of any other particular breed", and probably more than $50.

Right...

So it's not a put bull. Making the point of the link even worse

A Staffordshire bull terrier is a pit bull. They are one of several breeds that are called "pit bulls," which includes the American Staffordshire terrier and the American pit bull terrier as well as the Staffordshire bull terrier.

Or those are considered types of dogs similar to the actual American Pit Bull Terrier.

I always say the only reason to have a breed like a pit bull is if you have a side business running a meth lab or a gang.

The reason everyone else hates them is that when they bite, they bite to kill. Not necessarily the case with other breeds.

You sound fun. What else do you 'always say'? Guess I need to get one of each 'business' going since I have two pit bull types. Hey, maybe I can fund DC's 529!

You wouldn't be breaking HOA rules because you don't own a pitbull. Does it say pitbulls can't visit? If not, if go ahead and invite your friend, have the dog be leashed. Don't reach out to HOA before hand. Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission

I actually have obtain an Ivy League education, but I'm not a snob. Most Ivy League educated people think they are better than most because of there education and how much money they make. However, if you put aside the amount of money you make and your education what would you have left?

I own two pitbulls and I raised them since they were 6 weeks old. They have never and I mean NEVER attacked, bit, or harmed anyone. My cousins always come over and are more afraid of the Chihuahua that lives next door than my dogs. I do understand why some might be afraid of them (I used to be one of those people) but when you raise them at 6 weeks old and see them grow and train them the proper way then you might see things differently.

I really doubt you have an ivy league education. but besides that, how you raise the dogs doesn't change their jaw strength, tenacity and it certainly doesn't change the instinctive bred-in characteristics of the breed. my german shepherd has never been near a sheep, but if I took her to a herd she would instinctively know how to round them up ....

Old thread I discovered. Note the 6 weeks. Legal breeder release is 8 weeks.

See what I did there? Your perception of actual risk is very skewed.

Well, most people drive cars to get to places they need to go. They could take alternative modes of transportation that are more inconvenient. Nobody needs to have a pit bull when they could have lots of other breeds with better statistics. Having another breed of dog is no inconvenience at all.

So we just euthanize any dog with pit bull in them? That would kill millions of dogs overnight. I guess you've never been to a shelter as most of the dogs needing homes have some type of bull terrier in them. Testing and eliminating all of those dogs sure sounds expensive to me.

And why is that? How many threads and lamenting posters are on DCUM about aggression, trainers, etc?
