Actually quite a few Standard Bred Poodle are quite good waterdogs when properly trained.steveincowtown wrote:I think the were are quite a few generations away from just about every breeds intended purpose. If not we would be duck hunting with Poodles instead of Labs.OldCurlyWolf wrote:
Pits were NOT originally bred for fighting. That is a Bastardization of the original breed. In the UK the call them Staffordshire Terriers and are known as Nanny Dogs.

Bottom line Pits are involved in more bite and death incidents. No denying that no matter how many excuses you want to make.

I have been dealing with loose dogs for over 40 years and many years ago came to a similar conclusion.TresHuevos wrote:My concern is not with me. I have always been able to handle myself around aggressive dogs (except one German Shepard who got me right when I got out of my car). My concern is with kids who should be able to ride their bikes, play and just run around being kids without having to worry about being a Scooby snack for an out of control dog. If that dog charges me at 6'2" 250lbs it will certainly charge a child who will instinctively turn tail and run aggravating the predator instinct of the dog. Not saying what I will do for sure since I intend to assess each situation individually but chances are that PD will be filling out some reports.
