[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No dog is safe if the owner does not know how to train or handle it.[/b]  It is up to the owner to let others know that their dog may not be good with strangers/other people/other dogs.  I have a friend who has adopted two pitbulls and they are as sweet as can be.  However, her second one is not good with dogs and she makes sure to let other around her know and steers clear of them.

I would hope that your cousin invests in some good training and learns to work with the dog and be the "alpha" so when he/she says a command, the dog listens. [/quote]

I understand the sentiment of this statement but it simply is not true beyond the perhaps reasonable emotion behind it. Your super friendly pit bull is simply capable and probable to conduct more damage to another person than my CKCS. [b]The dog has one thing and one thing only on its mind. Where is the nearest and warmest lap to sit on? [/b]That is it! It is not looking for food, it is not looking to play, it is not looking for something acting unpredictably. It is looking for a lap. That is it. It likes all that other stuff, but if given the choice of a dog treat and a lap, it will take the lap 100% of the time.[/quote]

My 80 lb pit/border collie mix is also looking for the warmest lap too, lol.

The only thing "scary" about him is watching him play with pits or pit mixes. He tries his best to be gentle and not too rough when playing with other dogs. But with pits, there is no restraint from either dogs. It's full on, unrestrained, crazy, insane doggy playtime. And you can really see how powerful and strong they are.

Of course, this is not our first dog. He's not the alpha. He's had training. And we know how to handle him (and pretty much any other dog). [/quote]

Alpha dog is a myth people.  Please stop.[/quote]
