For whatever reason, they became the "cool" dog to have in that circle. The reasons had nothing to do with them being mean or tough or whatever.
You don't really believe this do you?

Untouchable,
Shouldn't the fact that some towns require you to have $300,000 of liability insurance tell you that maybe pit bulls are a tad unpredictable and just might bite someone? Also, listing pet owners as a referance for equal protection isn't really helping your argument.

I'm more likely to think that people and politicians are ******ed and just make laws to get elected and fine people to generate revenue for their crooked lives.

LOL, so a golden retriever that was happy to see you knocked you down but didn't try to bite you? What a surprise.

I def wouldn't be for banning them even with my bad experiences but some kind of special class or license doesn't seem like a terrible idea.

I mean can we just walk around the streets with these?

A buddy of mine back in KC has two pits and he's the least macho guy in the world. But I think he is pretty paranoid about defending his home. I feel completely fine around them when he's around. But I won't stay at his place over Xmas. I would just be too nervous to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak and the big one, Dante, forgets who I am. Dante literally has the most enormous head I've ever seen on a pit. The dog tonight might have been second.

Perhaps they really do just like them because they are in vogue or whatever. Do you think them having a reputation for being mean and tough has anything to do with that in general or not?

btw I think that "pitbulls" are absolutely more dangerous than most (not all) other dogs because they are more dangerous when raise incorrectly. I just don't think that banning them or licensing them is fair at all. Licensing them just gives the government more stupid authority over our lives and is another reason for people to give them money. If a small municipality voted to ban pitbulls, I wouldn't care, that's their right. But any large-scale legislative action against them would be ******ed.

Maybe they just like them because they like dogs and pitbulls are dogs.

That particular part of my circle of friends is a bunch of tree-hugging dope-smoking hippies that I've been friends with most of my life and not one of them would condone violence in just about any situation. I can name eight or nine pits that have been around over the last ten years or so. Why? I don't know. A friend got one and he was really, really, cool. A couple other friends got one. A couple of them had cute little pit babies. Some of those wound up with other friends. And it's not like pits are the only breed anybody had/has. There were just quite a few of them around.

This has nothing to do with the thread, anyway, so let it go.

I wasn't insinuating anything about you or your friends. I don't think pitbull owners are violent thugs by default. I was only touching upon the idea that they have become dominant in pop culture, and thus widespread, because of their reputation. I will drop this line however.

Boxers are very territorial. They know what there's. Don't give them something you might want back. They are very good guard dogs because of this. The behavior you are describing is very typical for Boxers.

Are Presa Canarios the dogs those white supremacists had in Cali that killed their neighbor?
Or were those Cane Corsos?

To each his own but I wouldn't want to own one of those. They look cool and everything but I wouldn't want that kind of responsibility.

My sister had a Jack Russell and it would constantly get in fights with other dogs/animals in the woods (came back bloody a few times, and once with a good portion of its ear gone). And another Jack Russell in the neighborhood was the meanest, most aggressive dog I've ever seen. Definitely a breed I'd stay away from.

No such thing as a bad "breed" of dog, but always bring a sharp pocket knife to stab one of those mean ******* in the throat and both eyes if necessary.

I have a Jack Russell. He's the most loving dog ever. But yeah he has a problem with other animals. He constantly catches rodents and turtles and brings them back to our doorstep. We eventually taught him not to fight other dogs but it took a lot of patience and probably just some natural maturation on his part. They're definitely huge instigators.

It takes a lot of effor to own one but the reward is definitely worth it. They're very intelligent.
