[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]German Shepherds can kill. Should we ban those too? I have two GSDs. My groomer loves them. She hates grooming small, yappy dogs with ridiculous bows. The owners have no idea how much she despises those dogs.[/quote] German shepards can kill but rarely do in comparison to pitbulls. On my post that was deleted, there are around 15 dog deaths so far in 2018 (I forgot the exact number but can look it up later). Of those deaths, one of the dogs was a German shepard. One of those dogs was a wolf hybrid. The rest were pitbulls. Also, you say in your post that German shepard "can kill" too. Of course. All dogs can kill depending on the size of their victims. But I would assume (correct me if I am wrong) that you recognize the size, strength and potential for harm of your GS dog, and take proper precautions, including never proudly boasting "But his breed is so gentle and not dangerous at all" [b]Many pitbull owners have bought into the lies and propaganda of the pitbull advocates, and for whatever reason refuse to acknowledge their dog breed's proven potential to maim and kill adults, children and other animals if or when they attack. They proudly proclaim "Pitbulls are nanny dogs" as they snap pictures of their toddlers climbing all over them. They announce "She is such a lover" as they let their pitbulls run around unleashed. They tell their neighbors "You only need to worry about him licking you to death" as they strain to hold onto their pitbull's collar.[/b] The statistics are crystal clear that pitbulls are a very dangerous animal breed, far more dangerous than any other breed on the planet. [b]If pitbulls owners would behave like the owners of rotts, GSs, dobermans and other aggressive breed, acknowledge how dangerous this breed of dog is to humans and other animals including dogs, and quit trying to pass them off as being gentle, nanny dog family pets, then perhaps there would be a little less resistance from sane people towards this dangerous and aggressive breed.[/b] Yes, a pitbull won't kill, maim or dog extreme bodily if no one pulls his trigger, but neither will a semi automatic weapon. The problem is when that trigger gets pulled on a pitbull, the harm to the victim is unspeakable and makes other dog bites look like a fingernail scratch.[/quote] +1 So true. Our friends with some of the breeds you mentioned have trained their dogs well but keep a very close watch and do not pretend that they're as gentle as a beagle. We have a rescue lab mix (mostly lab, per our vet), but we don't leave small kids unattended with her. [/quote]A beagle? Gentle? Puh-lease. Look, no one should leave any dog alone with small children. It gives me the creeps to see [i]any[/i] video online where a dog has its face near a small child's face. Doesn't matter whether it's a pit or a chihuahua. You never know when a dog is going to lose it. My pit mix is a lover but I watch her carefully and never let children get in her face. Like you, pp, I'd do the same with a lab mix.[/quote]
