[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You're joking right? You don't see how a pit bull is more likely to kill a kid in an attack than say, a retriever? Really? That's actually frightening, considering you own one. How would you defend a child if your dog suddenly lost it and, out of character, attacked them? Would you be able to stop it? I'm not sure I'd be able to, and that's why I don't own one. It's pretty simple really. Not bigotry, just common sense.[/quote]

Please read more closely. I did not say a retriever is more likely to attack than a pit bull. An objective temperament test indicated pit bulls have better temperaments than golden retrievers. It is not my opinion, it is a fact based on this test. And, for the record, I love goldens. LOVE them. I am not say pit bulls are better. Just putting FACTS out there.

If you cannot properly train and control a pit bull, then you are correct, you should not own one. Mine are trained and under control. Kids have fallen on them, pulled their tail, hugged there neck, etc. and my dogs turn on them...with kisses. Love a dog and train it well (no matter the breed) and you get good results. The fact that you single out pit bulls is the definition of pit bulls. Pit bulls are not the biggest dog, nor do they have the strongest bite. Yet, they are repeatedly singled out. Bigotry, my friend. Get your facts straight.

And[i] I[/i] didn't say a pit bull was more likely to attack than a retriever.  I said they were likely to do more damage in any given attack.  Can't argue with that.[/quote]
