I was referring to the 10-lb balls of fluff. I feel pretty confident I could handle an aggressive 10-lb ball of fluff without using deadly force. I would not want to go toe to toe with a pit bull, or any other large dog.LarryH wrote:Don't forget that "poodle" isn't just the 10-lb ball of fluff, but also includes the Standard Poodle which is similar in size to a collie or shepherd. While the standard is less well-known than the mini, toy or tea-cup, they are still fairly common.

Poodle attacks usually are not fatal.BigBlueDodge wrote:I googled "poodle attacks" and came up with 632000 hits. I say we shoot threatening poodles too!!
Also, I googled "goose attack" and it came back with 2,050,000 results, so it appears as though geese are more dangerous than pit pulls. Next goose that starts eyeing me down is gonna have lead chasing him!!

So if you don't want to be burying your pit bull then you had better keep it solidly chained, on a leash, and under absolute control while it is around my family. I'm not giving the dog the benefit of the doubt. Any action that looks like it might be threatening is too much risk for me.
Not having the dogs restrained was irresponsible. I would have acted the same way if my children were threatened. I personally believe pit bulls are dangerous. I base that on personal experiences, experiences of friends and family, and countless stories in the newspaper and meda. If yours is not, it is a shame that a few thousand bad apples spoiled the barrel.
