With the demise of DD on the way, there may some here that are completely new to this family. Dancer is what I go by here and on CB Radio. Yes, I'm a Truck Driver. I drive the most hated type of Truck around. A Rock Truck. I also am Pit Bull 24/7. The finest breed of dog on the planet. "There are no bad dogs" Comments welcome. And a post later why I feel the way I do about my breed of choice.

....and.......off we go!!!

GFB, Good you are here. Looking forward to this.

Had a loooong conversation with a friend of mine who raised pit bulls.

He claimed that the owner is the problem.... not the breed...... i agreed AND disagreed.

beat a labrador and it cows down.... beat a pit and it fights back. So, imo, the breeds are very different in the attitude department.

The biggest problem is it's reputation. Thugs want to have a 'badass' dog on a leash and be seen with that badass dog like it will make themselves look more badass(i guess)

ask my friend who had a 4yr old boy SCALPED by a pit bull what he thinks...... you will get less of a PC response.

I'm quite sure if someone or something goes after little Mei-Ling..she's fighting back..(all 9 1/2 lbs.)

Prissy will, too..all 18 1/2 years..though she'll be about 2 minutes late.

Sorry, no sale. A Lab will defend itself when beaten badly enough. You DO NOT BEAT any dog for any reason. I am not now, or have ever been a thug. I raise and show every Pit I have ever had right. Later, my post about them will come, plus an Obit that The Star Telegram published years ago with why that Dog got me out of my bad times. I am on battery power now but will be back.

didnt say YOU were a thug. i meant that the thugs have changed the image of these pets. they encourage their dog to be viscous and intimidating.
not all pit bull owners act like that
but what is the perception of that dog my most people? it isnt good.

Heads removed from posteriors would help.

Neighbor acquired a pit bull recently. I won't walk past her house anymore and I go inside mine when she walks that dog by my yard. I will never be convinced they are safe pets.

I have a neighbor (for the life of me I don't understand) that has 5 pit bulls, all are strictly house dogs. and they walk two at a time several times a day. My American Bulldog does not behave as well as these Pits do when walking. Other dogs and people walk by them without a look. They don't scare me at all. Now, we also have a beagle that runs loose in the neighborhood and he has tried to bite me twice ..I carry a golf club when walking toward his house.

The American Bulldog Breed is Drop Dead Good Looking.

Are the pit bulls on a leash with the owner in control at all times or do they run loose in the neighborhood?

on leash... wary
off leash... target practice.

Wondering why the same topic we have discussed over and over in DD.. I have known two awesome pit breeds, I have known more with issues.. But again..same subject, different board..why?

Read the obituary thread Dancer posted and this thread makes sense, well it does to me at least.

Why would the subjects be different over here, Orph? People talk about what matters to them.

Put Bulls matter to Dancer..a lot.

Not stirring, but we are the same group of people, we came here knowing he likes Pit Bulls and you like the breed of your girls.............let's go w/some new subjects. In my opinion, we dont need those two rehashed.

I have no problem if Pit bulls are never mentioned again, but..some people never quite understood that..subjects that some thing shouldn't be rehashed, or should be avoided..are specifically the reason some others come to a place like this.

I have no problem with the format at DD Facebook. But, so far, the place bores the daylights out of me.

I do not think that means I should start posting there about why we should "move on"..or that "these are the people that ruin it for everyone.
