    Rottweiler Mauls Baby to Death

    I think that you are missing the whole point of the argument and how personal it becomes for a bully breed owner when every time you log on someone has posted another article highlighting our breed of dog. Even when another article comes out saying that the breed was misidentified, it is still...

    Please Vote For Holly (Border Collie)

    Well at 296 votes so far, I think you may take this one. I voted for you anyway. Although that Minnesota sunset was pretty good too.

    53 Dog bites in Reading, PA in 2007. Guess what breed they said it was.

    I was thinking the same thing when I saw the picture. I was saying that this dog is an American Bulldog and not a Pit Bull/AmStaff. I think that I have heard just about every crazy excuse of why pitties are such bad dogs. I have also learned to have a thick skin when it comes to my dog...

    That is one beautiful puppy there. If my wife wasn't going to kill me, I might have been sneaking to your place to get that beauty.

    New agression

    Oh, yeah. The windows were rattling during that yelling fest. Yes I am glad that she showed bite control and did not clamp down when she bit Ashley. I have been sitting down with the kids and talking to them about the dog and how to handle her. We are going also work on training issues...

    New agression

    Thanks for the reply's. Polly is actually 8 months old and will be 9 months in a few weeks. I did check her out thoroughly after the bite to see if she was indeed hurt in any way. She was perfectly fine with me jumping and joyous when I came home. I think that it was the fact that she was...

    New agression

    Over the last week, Polly has shown some very unusual agression towards the kids. 4 days ago one of the neighbor kids was over and was petting Polly and she grabbed his hand. She did not bite but simply grabbed his hand and then growled at him. Then yesterday Polly was scared by a very loud...

    Yet another pit bull attack in my area

    The thing that really bothers me about articles like this is who is the expert that identified these dogs as "pit bulls"? I know of very few people that can accuaratly identify most breeds of dogs let alone a pit bull type. Just because it is a short haired medium sized dog, does not mean that...

    Should You Own a Pit Bull

    That was a great post. I guess that since I drive a regular car, actually wear my pants at my waist and pretty much qualify in the other categories, I can keep my dog. Although funny, I actually agree with all those reasons for not owning a Pit Bull.

    HSUS - We Oppose BSL, But We Support Breed-Specific Measures

    Agreed to a point. Ok, so one guy gets caught because he has a neighbor has something against him. It still won't stop the idiots and especially the dog fighters which there is so much hype to stop. BSL will not effect dog fighters at all. It only hurts responible owners.

    Dogs attack at news station

    Great. Now once again, responsible dog owners are on the chopping block in a city that already does have BSL in some form. According to the story, some thought that these were "wild" dogs but quotes show that the dogs appeared well fed and it was not likely that they were wild. Which means...

    HSUS - We Oppose BSL, But We Support Breed-Specific Measures

    Heres the problem with the theory of altering all "pit bulls". Thugs and dogfighters DON'T care about the law. They are breaking the law as it is every day with what they do. Their dogs are not registers and probably have never seen a vet. Now you enact a law that says they have to alter...

    What's the deal with Pit Bulls?

    I have run into many occasions where Polly has been called a "pit bull". I went to my mother inlaws house a few weeks ago for a backyard party and we bring our dogs over for play dates as well. Well I brought Polly as usual and the dogs were playing great. Well a freind of the mother in law...

    Breeds FOR beginners.

    I would say that a Bassett hound is a great dog for a beginner. They are very laid back, great with kids and bond very well to a family. The only real problem with a Bassett hound is once they get the scent of something, you'll end up chasing them down cuz they won't stop once they've got the...

    My breeds

    Well, you could also mention the American Bulldog and the olde english bulldog. Both are active and very loyal to their families and great with kids. They are generally not too bad to strangers. They are wary of strangers but will welcome them in if you are there to answer the door. As far...

    Camping with your dog....

    Oh, God, I love camping with my dogs. There is nothing better for them to be able to get out into some fresh air and run like the wind. We generally go camping in more remote areas where there are not alot of other campers. That way I don't have to have her tied to a leash the whole time...

    If you had to pick strictly on looks

    Well, I would have to go with the American Bulldog. Great looks, physically dommineering and an all around beautiful dog.
