I have had her for 11 years , the only things she has done wrong were to dig 2 holes in the back yard and oohh ,she chased a cat .


Without doubt THE , smartest dog I've ever had , will truely miss her when she's gone . Dont believe the media hype , the problem with dogs are the owners not the breed

Agree totally, unfortunately the problem is although they're domesticated, some natural instincts can come out of these dogs when you least expect it.

Less than 2 weeks ago, a local middle-aged lady was mauled, and had her arm "nearly eaten off!" by one of those precious animals, chopper-lifted to Hospital in Melbourne, I doubt she'd agree with you.

As you said, it's the owners...but what happens when they're not around? The thing she did wrong was to take it for a walk for one of her family members.

I'll just stick with my 'pocket-sized' jack russell, at least I can kick its arse!

[edit] Btw Cassa, great looking old dog you've got there!

That looks like a staffy?is it the same as a pit bull?
dog is dangerous i seen pitbulls hang of cows necks till they bled to death.
Pit bull jumped up and ripped two fingers of a 6 yr old, whos fingers were over a fence.
Im sure you dog is nice.
when i take my dog to the beech i dont have to wory about it attacking anyone.I like your pitbulls but you have to understand they are a dangerous dog and cant be trusted in public. i used to own a rottweiler i know what a intimidating protective dog is like.
Dont ever underestimate your dog and it should be leashed at all times in public.
Only takes a split second for a lawsuit!!!!

get a real killer dog!!! like ....

molly the killer!!!!!!!

An untrained dog should be kept on a leash in public until such time as it is trained.

A person who is not prepared to train their dog should not be allowed to keep one.

The thing is, most dog owners aren't properly trained so they have no idea how to train their dogs.

You are so right Gorgo! Which gives dogs a bad name and dog owners a bad name.

Unfortunately there aint nutting you can do about it. We cannot even control our kids, what hope do dogs have.

There is a doberman three doors up from me. The only reason I know it is there is because it goes ape **** when I walk down the back lane. I have never seen it out in public and it is therefore stir crazy - an accident waiting to happen.

Not only is it downright cruel, it is bloody stupid as well. A dog is designed to run.

Heres one of my two (this is father, his son still lives with us but thats another story).
2 weeks ago he went missing and we got him back from the ranger(dog catcher not the archie) same day but wet and covered with sand. Cost 200 F$cking
dollars. That night watching the evening news they have a piece about the possible extension of the hillarys dog beach.Apparently there was a meeting down their with all in favour turning up.The camera pans around and theres my dog. Sitting on his own next to the no dogs sign. Im sure he was smiling.We live in Mullaloo maybe 5 clicks away.. Obviously he feels stongly about the issue.I knew he was smart but I didnt know he could read and navigate.

As a 'dog' person, I wish to state that the term "Pit Bull" is something thrown around by the media and has been whipped up to cover almost any 'scary dog incident' that doesn't involve something that is plainly a chihuaua. The breed people are actually referring to when using the term "Pit Bull" is an American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier. I do agree that it is the Deed not the Breed that should be judged, some breeds do have more of a tendancy towards certain behaviours, however, this just means that the owner of that type of dog needs to socialise it heavily from a very young age and be mindful of what the breed was originally intended for.

How about a nice game of spot the 'Pit Bull'











Guesses anyone?

Nope that's a 'Perro de Presa Canario' or 'Canary Dog' from the Canary Islands. Your doggy instincts need more honing I think Doggie

5 down,

in all breeds there can be more agressive dogs but the reality is pitbulls have been breed to be a fighting dog. sure not all are going to aggressive but there is allways more reason for concern.

i knew some one that owned one for years and no inscident, then one day it attacked her mum, who the dog actually lived with. yes the dog was well trained and looked after, so not always the owners fault, though very oftern is.

Yep Dunko's got it, 5th down. Yes Dunko, I agree, that's what I was trying to say before, I think it's a mixture of Nature AND Nurture and there's no clear cut answer to that old argument.

Yes, I forgot to include that one, but then again, as Doggie illustrated, so many people would think any number of breeds are, let alone cross breeds. The other thing is a true Pit Bull is only a medium sized, well muscled dog. If it's a large dog, it's either a cross or a different breed. Everyone just screams "ah there are 3 vicious pit bulls down the road".

im wary of pit bulls as we had one when i was young, it was well trained and always great with everyone, and other dogs but one day after it had pups its mauled two of them for going near its food dish. It was pretty scary as a kid. Im sure if all dog bites were reported the small terrier's would be biting heaps more people.

A dog is a pack animal that happens to be highly domesticateable. They look up to us as pack leaders and will always try to usurp a position of weakness. By training them properly (and because we live a lot longer) they will always accept their place in the grand scheme of things providing they understand their place.

Their "place", if they are shown the love and care they deserve, will always, without fail, remain one of an unquestioning and adoring servant and loving family member.

If you give them a reason to upset this equation they can turn into a biting machine. The bigger and stronger they are the more effective this biting will be.

Don't matter if it is chi hua hua hua, dackshound or a bite bull.

This is a very interesting breed, see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogo_Argentino

I believe they are known for their gentle nature particularly in the family situation despite their fearsome appearance.

There is an excellent Argentinian movie about one of these dogs and his master. It is called Bomb'on or El Perro. It could probably be found on the "Art House" shelves of your video store where I found it. A really good watch even if slow moving. See here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombon_(film)

This is our gorgeous gal "Naala".

After swearing off having any more dogs, this one just plonked herself against our front door one night around 9pm. Upon opening the door, with tail between legs and apolagetic attitude she asked if she could come in.



After about a month of fruitless searching for her owners we found someone prepared to adopt her. We dropped her off at their place in the evening, bawled our eyes out all night and got her back at 7am the next morning.



There has obviously been a big problem with integrating with our family.



We are told Ridgeback/Boxer cross or maybe Mastiff (sooty snout)
