When people make the claim...Its not rocket science. When people make the claim that its the owners not the breeds they are calling for a huge increase in government intervention in EVERY dog owners life. Because some dog owners are bright intelligent and responsible they DO NOT erase the stupid ignorant owners that need a pit bull to help make themselves important and give themselves increased status with their peers.<br />As we can not ban this type of person and the combination of an idiot with a powerful vicious breed is a recipe for disaster we must ban the dog breed.<br />13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-55206284572935479472016-10-14T01:42:48.235-07:002016-10-14T01:42:48.235-07:00We live in America, but we do not agree with the s...We live in America, but we do not agree with the stigma. I actually have a Rottie who is my service dog. It really has to do with their breeding (inbreeding) and the training required to have any large dog, really any dog at all.<br />I do not take any of my dogs to dog parks because too many owners of tiny dogs think it's really cute to let their little dogs run out toward big dogs like Great Danes, German Shepherds, any large dog and bark endlessly at its' face. Cesar Millan who many disagree with, and many do not I suppose, has gone to many dog parks to correct that. It is not "cute" when ANY DOG disobeys, and people with powerful dogs need to train their dogs. To me it is mandatory. I researched the breeds of all my dogs before I ever got them. I suppose I may be eccentric but I do not agree with mixing dog breeds, it seems to cause some confusion in the dog itself. I have seen way too many mixed pitbulls/labs etc put down because the labrador is acting like a pit bull half the time and a labrador the other half. Is it fair to the dog? Does anyone ever consider what the dog requires? Powerful breeds require powerful training. So do small dogs, need people who stop laughing at their dogs' behavior, and train them, knowing that one day a Great Dane may just eat them for lunch. <br />Ask yourself what in the world kind of genetic breeding went into changing a dog the size of a wolf into a tiny dog that shakes most of the time, barks because they are scared of everything, and charges large dogs.<br />So I am sorry to see this thing happen, but I have myself been bitten at least 5 times by small dogs charging me at a friend's door, while the pit bull was sleeping on the couch. It's the trainer. If people continue to see the dog as a "macho" statement, they can expect problems with that. Guard dog is normal, all dogs are. My Golden Retriever is more aggressive than my Rottie. She barks if someone drop a piece of popcorn 3 blocks away. She just likes it, it's irritating and I stop her. But please can we refrain from banning "breeds" of dogs. In the 70's it was doberman's, then it was shepherds, then it was Rottweilers, now it's Pitbulls. You could try training the owner to stop being a wuss.<br />Blessings to you<br />CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
