here is a story that might make you happy after reading the first one

I'd move to la lol

How can they determine what a pit bull is unless it has papers? There are alot of full blood and mixed breed dogs out there, that to someone who doesnt know there dogs, could be mistaken for a pit bull. I'll just call mine East Texas Boar Terriers! LOL

oh i know right, if that was to pass, people would go after any dog with a bull head, its redicoulous

  I like that. ;D

That's part of the problem, who can? Likely the one standing in front of it, looking at it. Odds are they won't know what they're looking at and will make an assumption.
It could very well be like in my town, an uneducated old pot bellied man that works for the city, and his phone rings when a stray dog shows up.
Being a city employee, his job is to drop what he's doing, go back to the barn and hook onto the little getter trailer they use.
He then shows up with a sack of snack or treats (likely yesterday's sack lunch leftovers) and attempts to coax it into the trailer.
By the time he's done dealing with this situation he's tired and angry, has missed his break or lunch, and could careless, he's taking the dog.
Right, wrong, no matter, you can see the troubles coming.

I can't find anything to read on the circumstances of the attack itself, which leads me to wonder where the parents were during the attack, and if parental supervision could have prevented it.  Not that i don't blame the dog owner, and the dog, but it still makes me wonder.

I do not know if this is the one from longview but if it was the kid was hitting the fence of witch the dog was behind and the the dog got out and maulled the kid but iam not sure one thing for sure a big aggresive pit in the hands of the wrong person well you know. But hey i have been bit and chased by more mean damm healers than you can shake a stick at.

i live in a town in lousiana where pits are prohibited. It sucks cause either i have to hide a catchdog or get one that doesn't "look like" a pit, which the drunk dog catcher in my town wouldn't know one if it bit here on the *ss!!! They tried to tell me that AB and Dogos were pits, because thye look alike and have some of the same colors. i had a buddy the the dog catcher wanted to take two of his cur dogs because they were brindle.

x2... that is how it is done where pitbulls have beed outlawed by City ordinances.

Heck even somebody that's' been around pits for a while can make that mistake.  somebody posted on this forum i think a link that had fifteen or twenty dog pictures and only one of them was a pit.  I picked the wrong dog.  I'm not saying I'm some sort of expert, but i thought i could at least pick one out of a crowd. 

yall can all send your cd up to me in oklahoma and a bag of feed and ill hunt them for you lol

lots of places have out lawed pits so now i have some funny looking catch dogs rots, labs, and boxers besides AB and dogos hey if it does the job.....JMO

I am going to change the name of my Pits to American boarhounds,I dont know where I got that idea do yall? ;) ;) ;) ;)

i have a blue lacy X cat that is solid blue and blocky built that rides in the truck all the time!!! and i cant tell u the  ppl that comments and says man thats a nice blue pit i use to try and correct them and got tired of it. now i say thanx, but i still know what he is, the weird thing is, HE IS ALL CATCH if i seen him in the woods i would almost think he was all american pitbull terrier myself when he hit and hooked up. i will post a pic of him sometime

I guess everyone will just have to get a great dane rolleyes

Not for me. If they ban pits .....this is my new catch dog.

Peach and DJ both of those replies were funny as hell.Great Danes,I dont know what they are great at but I do know it aint hunting hogs.GO INTO THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!

I don't know about that, our catch dog is a pit/dane and he will hit a hog like a frieght train and then fold it up and put it in his back pocket.  ;D  ..... Im sure that i will pay for that statement on our next hunt because you should never brag on your dogs. :'(

Big difference between a great dane and the right 1/2 dane pit cross

 ;D I like your thinking!

I would  try a Dane/Pit cross but would never even try a full blooded Dane.I dont have the patience to watch those big clumsy dogs running around.The feed bill alone is enough to keep me from a Dane.

I know, I just couldn't resist yanking your chain a little.  :angel:

heck if you could get one super dane you would only have to feed one dog... that eats as much as 4..

i laughed so hard it hurt!!!!!

Yall are killing me with that crap :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:I cant wait until that show is over ,this has gotten down right comical.

There's a lot of pit haters out there.  Check out this thread on the Texas hunting forum

Lance thats some crazy ignorant statements on that thread

one of which

"pit bull owner = dumb"

Is this critter 1/2 chupacabra and 1/2 gremlin? I wouldn't mind using one for a catch dog.

aint know body goin to tell me what i can have and what i cant have the feds can ban it all they want but i am keepin my dogs...it aint like they goin to go back in the sticks to track someone down!!
