[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love dogs! But don't get the appeal of pitbulls. They're not cute or in any way more attractive than other popular breeds. Why would you WANT a pitbull mix? I thought people just adopted them because the shelters are full of them. [/quote]True, we adopted ours because that's what the shelter had.  And then we discovered that she was a loving, affectionate dog.  And that's what matters to us, not being cute or attractive.  Just a big heart and a cuddler.[/quote]

We adopted a pit 6 months ago and he is so sweet and cuddly it is funny. I am a believer that dog breeds have natures, live a retriever likes to retrieve,  a pitt bull was breed for fighting bulls.  What type of character that has left in the modern breed I am not sure, but of course I wonder why this breed is one with so many toddler face attacks ( retrievers also high on this list).

Anyway, training is always a good idea. [/quote]

Perhaps it should be required for Pitt owners given the concerns? Hell, golden retrievers too?[/quote]

I agree. Honestly I would be fine with blanket restrictions for all dog owners like this. Let's require obedience training for all dogs. I would also like to see a restriction that all dogs over x pounds must wear a muzzle in public spaces, which I'm sure would get lots of push back. But a separate issue is that law abiding dog owners will comply, while the terrible kind of dog owner who is keeping 6 pit bulls in cages will not bother. [/quote]
Why all dogs over xlbs wear a muzzle and not all dogs? Even a small dog can pretty seriously damage a child. [/quote]

I knew somebody would come up with that comment, it's so predictable. Okay, let's say ALL dog breeds. I'm not a dog owner so I don't care if you have to muzzle your pom, so long as it keeps kids safe from dog attacks. But my other point is that it won't keep kids safe, because most pit owners won't comply. You can muzzle all the Pomeranians in the land, and we will still be reading almost daily headlines about kids getting mauled to death by Pits. [/quote]

children are attacked by dogs..all dogs becasue they are young, unpredictable and don't know how to act around dogs. It is the adults responsiblity to keep both safe
