| I would just like everybody to know that the boy was not attacked my a PIT BULL he was attacked by a BANANA NOSE BULL TERRIOR! I'm sick of news readers and papers reporting dog attacks by pitbulls when they are infact either a cross breed or a totally different dog! The owners are the ones who should be punished and given a bad name for the way they brought up their dog! Just like a bad child...it's the gardians fault! |

Same thing different haircut!!! Same violent dog breed bred for fighting which seems to attract low life owners who cant control the dog. Another example of why we should ban these breeds. |

Totally agree with you beware. Or dogs are suffering from being attacked by other dogs and have PTS. Or children and teens going around and kicking and hitting other dogs. |

More like low life owners southern who make that type of dog into a vicious dog to keep people away from their homes. Drug dealers ect.
Bull terrior's and crosses ect. are one of the most loving dogs I have come across. They always play well with my own dogs.
Did you read in the Newspaper that over 100 dogs were being illkept and maltreated by a breeder. Something like 60 dogs had to be put down. Some had behavioural problems and some were too far gone.
The rest of them at the RSPCA had to be found homes for. |

Dogs do take on some of the characteristic traits of the owner, a useful tool when training dogs for specific tasks; ie: police work; military dogs etc.

Actually it's more the trainers who train the people to work with their dogs, for police work, ect.
Parents also, should teach their children, how to approach dogs and the right ways to go about it. Many dogs are harmed badly by children, being punched, kicked ect. and may react badly to a child patting them for self protection.
It's also a good idea to get dogs used to children. |

a bit of "pit bull" trivia for everyone...
firstly a "pit bull" is any of three different breeds of dog being the bull terrier(banana nose), staffordshire bull terrier(english staffy) and the american pit bull terrier.
also, the american kennel club(AKC) does temperament testing of all breeds of dogs which shows the following :
Staffordshire bull terriers pass with an average of 94%
American pit bull terriers pass with an average of 86%
All other breeds of dogs together pass with an average of 78%.
SO WHY WOULD WE WANT TO BAN THE "PIT BULL"? Yes when these dogs attack they do a lot of damage as they are strong dogs but so are rotties, german shepards etc. |

You have to teach an owner how to train a dog.
Different breeds of dogs also have their own traits for different kinds of work. |

what is sorry, a banana nose bull terrier? I've never heard of a banana nose bull terrier before this forum, all i can assume is a "banana nose bull terrier" IS a bull terrier. Bull terriers are probably the ugliest dog alive, although one of the nicest if properly trained and socialised, and there nose could be described as resembling a banana |

Re: Pit Bull confusion, seems a lot of people aren't sure what constitutes one of the little four-legged psychos:
Wikipedia says: "Pit Bull is a term used to describe several breeds of dogs with similar physical characteristics. The American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier commonly fall under the category of "pit bull." There are several other breeds that can fall under the category of pit bull, including: the Argentine Dogo, the English Bull Terrier, the American Bulldog, and the Perro de Presa Canario. These breeds are usually not included by breed name in any Breed Specific Legislation (see below), but are usually included because of a broad definition and confusion as to what a pit bull actually is."
Tell you what, though: Anyone who purchases an actual "American Pit Bull" oughtta be put down himself. Or at least sent to counselling (have to be paid for by us, though, since none of those white-trash psychos have jobs). |

poddlingpumpy - you obviously know very little about this variety of dog, yes you can cut and paste from Wikipedia, congratulation. Have you ever known an american pit bull(APBT)? We all know that they are widely reported as being viscious unpredictable animals, but this is just plain wrong.
Did you know that the number one dog responsible for attacks on people in Australia is the german shepard, number two is the labrador retriever and so on until you find our mate the APBTdown the list at about 5 or 6. In every breed of dog there will always be a few bad eggs(a bit like people really) and there will also be those which are treated badly by there owners.
DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE SPOUTING CRAP ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT AND LEAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL PIT BULLS ALONE. |

It's a shame chris, that the pitbull is wrongly bred by the wrong types and the wrong types use those dogs.
I have known many families with pitbulls and they are very loving dogs and very loyal. So we cant say those that have bought those breeds should be shot.
The labrador would be high on the list chris i imagine, because of the greater number of people owning those dogs.
" 5 or 6. In every breed of dog there will always be a few bad eggs(a bit like people really) and there will also be those which are treated badly by there owners. "
Yes well said. |

They should probably leave the dog breeds alone
What should be sterilised is the type of moron who is attracted to the breed for all the wrong reasons |

| A banana nose bull terrier, is just a plain old-fashioned bull terrier ... not a staffordshire, or any other type ... the reason they're called this, is the nose shapes around like a banana ... it's only a slang, most Bull Terrier breeders are really pissed by this term. |

i'm afraid there is no such breed as the roman nose bull terrier, i don't know where you got that from but you obviously don't have a good dog book :) The term "roman nose" is like banana nose a term used to describe the shape of their head. And for whoever it was earlier on in the thread, english bull terrier = bull terrier |

My pitbull is trained to gaurd my farm... but he is taught only to scare and bark and has never EVER attacked anyone. Even my nieces come over and jump all over him and never ever a growl at the kids. I blame the owners who dont train them properly. Any breed can attack, not just pitbulls...
it should be legal for everyone purchasing a new dog (no matter what breed) to undergo dog training courses. Just because u register ur dog doesnt make u a responsible dog owner! |

Giving dogs love and a lot of attention should be more of a consideration. Taking dogs to dog training doesn't make them responsible owners as well if they commit cruelty. It also makes it cheaper to pay registration, so many will be just doing training to get cheaper rego rates. So just because a dog has dog training, doesn't make good owners either.
You can train your own dogs at home and love them and still be very responsible owners. I do agree that loving owners, should go through training. Get them mixing with other dogs. Learn to teach children, not to approach dogs and how to go about approaching them, by puting your closed fist in front of them to sniff first before patting them. |
