I know about the jaw myth. Spare me. I also know that they have extremely thick skulls and very strong shoulders (because they were bred initially for bear baiting) which makes them VERY difficult to fight off. A retriever has a relatively softer and smaller head...which makes them relatively easy to fight off with some well-aimed punches and kicks. Again, I ask, how would you defend a child that was attacked by your dog? [/quote]

My pit bull plays with goldens and is routinely overpowered by them. Have you ever witnessed a pit bull and a golden play?

Can I just say it is a weird mentality to think about fighting off a dog?  I don't think about kicking dogs in the head. Instead, I train my dogs and treat them kindly, and they do the same. They go to obedience classes and are trained at home. When I need to verbally correct my dog for getting into the trash, etc. they respond extremely well - typically sulking and walking away. If my dogs get to bouncy or licky around kids, I say "Leave it." and they walk away. So, I guess that is how I would defend a child. Wow - training works!! The fact that you assume my dog would attack a child is the bigotry I first spoke off.  But, I am all for you not having a pit bull if you feel you cannot handle one. Seriously.[/quote]

I'm guessing not a LOT of kids come running up to your PIT BULL to pet it or play with it. So sorry for this woman who was mauled but maybe people will be a little more reserved about  groping other people's dogs, sheesh. [/quote]
