Responsible owners will remove a dog who is playing too roughly, but you might need to separate your dog from them if you're the only one who feels the other dog is playing too roughly. For example, there is a lady who used to bring her dog to the same daycare as my dog used to attend, and she thought any play at all was a sign of aggression. She needed to get a grip.
I've been bitten by two dogs, and both were probably ones that others would say are "never" or "rarely" aggressive. Neither dog was a pit mix, and both bites were completely unexpected.
The first time was by a Golden Doodle whose owner had it on a Flexi leash while walking on the sidewalk in front of my house. I was in my yard deadheading flowers, and as I threw some dead flower heads into my compost bin, the dog went nuts, ran into my yard, and bit my upper leg, breaking the skin. Thankfully, the dog was fully vaccinated and I was okay other than some nasty bruising, but it was still scary.
The second bite was by a Chihuahua owned by my friend. We were sitting on his couch, looking at photos from his childhood, and the dog began growling at both of us. Within seconds, it lunged forward and bit my ankle. No real damage was done due to dog mostly just getting my shoe in its mouth, but it was definitely an intentional bite.
In my neighborhood is an Australian Shepherd who must be muzzled anytime he's outside his own fenced yard because he's reactive towards other dogs, children on bikes and scooters, and adult men. He's not a pit mix.
If you had bden bitten by a pitbull instead of a doodle or chihuahua, you wouldn't have your leg muscles anymore.
Exactly this. But this PP refuses to acknowledge this. No one is saying other dogs can’t have issues or be aggressive. I’ve been bit by dogs over the years, and they’ve even broken skin a few times. I have a little dot on my hand from when a spaniel tooth broke through. But I still have my hand. Meanwhile I know multiple people who have had their pets killed by pitts, and one guy even had his own Pitt turn on him and lost his face. Yea, really. A go fund me was started to help repair his face. This is not an animal that we should have in our communities, hoping for the best. Just no.

NP. Totally agree but every single thing posted showing the evidence is viewed as ‘click bait’ by the unhinged pit bull supporter. I think there’s mostly just one on here, but she posts and rants a lot and insults everyone who doesn’t agree with her. I once saw an op Ed posted on here by an ER doctor of 30 years who said he’d seen a dramatic increase of fatal to serious dog bites that corresponded with the increase in the pit bull population (and all serious bites he saw were from pits- far worse than even typical ‘aggressive’ breeds like German shepherds). Pit bull lady went nuts as always, claiming it was ‘fake news’ and ‘click bait’, and that ‘idiot’ dog owners who don’t ’train’ properly are the problem, and of course claiming that chihuahuas and Goldens are just as dangerous. Her other go to argument is that pits aren’t a defined breed so there’s no point in trying to ban them.
Shes just unhinged

It's not even worth responding to your hysteria at this point. You have a problem. We see you. Sorry about your loss of whatever emotional and psychological control you may have once had. That must be tough.

Make it so.
We need non pitbull bred mutts
So the anti-pit troll is the "bosun dogs" crazyposter?!![]()

STAAAAAHP
Nobody needs more mutts. You need people who understand how to properly train and handle their dogs, not new dogs.
Were you the one who went nuts on the bosun breed post? Why? I’m not PP but I see why there is a reason to breed more family friendly Benji types. Lots of people don’t need a fancy pure bred but don’t want to risk their communities safety with a pit mix. This is not unreasonable
There are already too many "family friendly Benji types". We do not need more dogs. Period.
That’s not accurate. I can think of many who struggled to find a dog to adopt from a shelter and ended up going to a breeder because they didn’t want a potentially aggressive dog
"gullible" would be one word for these people...
Also? stop sockpuppeting, Bosunazis. Your business plan is a scammy justification for the fact that you wanted to have puppies around. Nobody needs more mutts. There are plenty, they are as "family friendly" as other dogs, there are non-pit options readily available, and even purebreds from assorted rescues.
There is ZERO need for new mutts. [/quote
The pitbull supporters seem a bit crazy.
It is no wonder that they favor that breed.
Normal people looking for a family dog simply don'twant aggressive dangerous breeds such as ptibulls.]
Anybody willing to make this level of generalization from a DCUM thread is a little unhinged.

I am sorry, but what is a "bosun dog"?
I am the poster you quoted and I have never heard that term. If it is from this forum, you spend too much time online.
Yes, we need more mutts (or Benji dogs as the other poster calls them) and far fewer pitbulls and pitbull mixes. We have searched for a non pitbull mixed breed in the local shelters for years, and the only dogs available are pitbulls, pitbull mixes, or obvious pitbulls with the silly deceptive monikers of things like "lab mix" (insert some family friendly dog breed with mix to disguise the fact that the breed is almost completely pitbull.)
There are never any regular mutts available in shelters. When they do show up oine, they are adopted before you can get to the shelter. Meanwhile, the pitbulls and pitbull mixes sit for weeks or longer
There are too many pitbulls, and not enough family friendly non pitbull mutts available.
For years, really?
How many dogs do you currently have and where did you get those dogs?
This morning on FB this dog pooped up - clearly not a pitbull mix and available for adoption from a local rescue

See, I didn't even try to look, it was there for me since I follow local rescues and shelters on FB
My money says these are the bosun dog idiots, sockpuppeting and trolling to try to drum up business for their ridiculous proposal. It's not at all difficult to find non-pit dogs, as you just proved.

Totally agree. But we have to deal with the loons like the poster who posted the last page of rants, claiming the fix is ‘licensing’ (huh?) and that shelters are full of wonderful family dogs. Everyone knows that is just not true. Everyone also knows the non profit shelters scour free resources for dogs to then resell at a profit and to subsidize care of the dogs who don’t get adopted - eg pit bulls
