Pit Bulls, are they safe to own?

Well, it's true. If you're bad to it, it'll be bad. If you're nice and treat it with respect, it will respond in such.

Don't be a bad owner and you'll have a good dog, it's as simple as that. From my own perspective I find them to be wonderful dogs, and like them a lot, but that is just me.
 
I have a pit and she's the best dog I've ever had. It's all about proper training. I've seriously never had a dog that just craves love, she's amazing.
 
I'm a believer in breed specific legislation towards pitbulls. ANY dog can be vicious but pitbulls contain the tools necessary to do more damage than ALL other breeds. They contain the perfect mix of muscle and frame to basically do whatever they want if raised improperly.

The breed is also very attractive to those people who want to appear tough and powerful and also in dog fighting rings... I just don't see what this breed brings to the table that no other breed of dog could provide in a less dangerous package.

I guess I'd like to see the sale and breeding of pitbulls regulated so that you would have to have a special license to do either of those actives,along with penalties and/or seizing the dog if failure to comply.
 
Pits really, really do bring something special to the table.
Fighting class dogs are really just the most loving, loyal dogs.
I recommend however, that anyone inexperienced with training dogs to get a working-class dog instead. They are a close second to fighting dogs in terms of loyalty and intelligence.
Unfortunately, you get ONE chance with a pitbull.
If that dog is not trained properly the first time, there is no going back to re-do it, in most communities (most counties place them on a 'vicious breeds' list, so their first strike is their last).

So good, but not for beginners, especially because of their likelihood of coming from broken backgrounds/poor stock.
 
Get a Boxer. They're like a Pit, but a bit more hyperactive, they are EXTREMELY loving and I think that you'd like a Boxer. Also, they have never hurt anyone from what I've read.

I had one, sweetest dog ever. She died a few months back, and it broke my heart. One of the saddest days of my life.
 
I was reading the title, and i saw "pitbulls, are they safe to drive?" I really need to wake up some more...


Anyways, I am freakishly scared of dogs, so i don't know.
 
As amusing as it sounds, you might want to consider a poodle. One of the most intelligent breeds out there, and LOOOOOOOOOOOVES people as well.

Which feed into how viscous they can be. When a new friend comes to visit they can be prone to attack in effort of "defending" their owner, even when the dog is a cream puff with the family. When I was growing up I had a friend whose family owned and trained pits. I never had issues with the dogs as they knew me. One of his father's friends from work came by one day and was mauled.

A kid down the street from me was mauled by his father's pit when he was just two. The dog was raised well and until the day he almost killed my neighbor had always been very friendly with the child.

Even a "good" pit bull has the very real potential to be a horror. Is it worth taking the risk?
 
I'm sorry, but a pit bull makes me think of a Spanish dude waving a red cloth in front of a bull.

Doh.
