wtf is a 'working' pit bull? what kind of work do they do besides fight?

Some hog hunters use them as "Catch" dogs, which is exactly as brutal as it sounds. That's probably .01% of all pit/ pit mixes, though.

That phrase plus the sketch “game dog” site registered in the Czech Republic means that they are doing exactly what they’re bred to do.  The ancestry info up top is also a give always. Those are being bred to fight.

my dad's pit bull Maggie (which he still insists is a 'lovable sweetheart' despite my horror story earlier in this thread re: her biting a little dog's face off, but sure, at least she's never shown any human aggression 🙄) gets in tussles with hogs regularly and comes back with gashes and big wounds, covered in blood, etc...can only imagine what the hogs look like 😧 hogs actually killed one of his other other dogs, a younger one...ripped his gut right open, he made it home, crawled under the house and died. i can't imagine what those fights look/sound like, what a nightmare! he keeps thinking Maggie 'will learn not to mess with them'...uh, yeah no, seems more likely she'll end up ripped open too. sounds like an absolutely horrible way to engage those creatures! ugh.

If a pit bull attacks a pit bull does that count as two pit bull attacks or should we just call it a chihuahua attack:

I was behind a chef I assume at a fancy groomer/ dog bakery today. She argued with them for a half hour about why they wouldn’t take her pitbull. I dunno lady, maybe daily stories about pitbulls maiming/killing other dogs might have something to do with it.

My pups are getting big, but they couldn’t possibly defend themselves or evade an attack from a pitbull. I’m sure I’ll encounter one soon at the park. I live in Houston. I’ll be polite, but I’m picking my dogs up and getting the fuck out of there.

You can’t evade an attack either.

Fair enough. I’m more likely to survive + better insurance/doctors. I wish they wouldn’t go to parks, but every pit owner thinks it’s their dog is “one of the good ones” until they’re not. 
 

I worked for a vet for a couple summers. He refused to accept any of the fighting breeds. Constantly cursed chows. He was an aggy, but he loved animals and his heart was in it. Good man.

yep, echo what’s been said, chows can be huge pricks. Learned that early as a kid after seeing one of my parent’s friends get chomped in the leg by their chow.

They score between 71-72% on the ATTS test. About the same as a chihuahua.

Chihuahuas are nasty little pieces of shit that only get by because they are small. A chow will fuck you up and not think twice about it.

Oh no doubt. I would never own a chow. In fact I’d never own a dog whose breed (with a sufficient sample size) scored below an 80%.

A 3-year-old Minnesota boy attacked by pit bulls is not expected to survive

A 3-year-old Minnesota boy who was attacked by two pit bulls last week is not expected to survive

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. -- A 3-year-old Minnesota boy who was attacked by two pit bulls last week is not expected to survive, his family said.

The parents of Covil Allen are preparing their son to be an organ donor, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Friday. An online campaign is raising funds to help Covil's parents cope with expenses related to the July 19 attack in the backyard of a home.

A search warrant obtained by WCCO-TV said Covil's family was at a home in Brooklyn Park where dogs were being sold. Police said they believed that the child's parents were there to buy a dog.

When the dogs began to attack Covil, adults "started to defend the 3-year-old by using hammers and pick axes to get the dogs off,” according to the warrant.

Police officers arrived and saw the dogs attacking the child and shot both animals, police said. One dog was killed and the other was taken to a veterinary hospital and euthanized.

The fundraising posting said Covil's mother also was bitten, on the leg, and has had several surgeries.

Police said an investigation continues into the attack on Covil and another dog bite incident on Tuesday, when a 7-year-old girl was attacked by a loose dog. She was not badly hurt. Officers killed the dog when it then tried to attack a boy, police said.

Brooklyn Park police Inspector Elliot Faust said larger conversations are underway with city leaders and elected officials about dog attacks.

So, they took their three year old to pick out a pit bull and now they want people to contribute to their GoFundMe to cover the cost of their brilliant idea?

Lockhart family shoots neighbor's pit bulls after attack on livestock

By Meredith Aldis

Published  August 6, 2024 5:26pm CDT

CALDWELL COUNTY, Texas - A Lockhart family is speaking to FOX 7 Austin after shooting and killing three of their neighbors' dogs who they say attacked their animals.

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office responded to the deaths of several livestock that were attacked by a pack of dogs. 

On Friday, they attacked again, but they didn't get away.

The woman who owns the livestock said she had to take matters into her own hands to keep her animals safe.

"I'm trying to see through the window what is actually going on, I call 911 at the same time, and then I hear three blasts," livestock owner Michelle Gomez said.

Gomez said her husband shot the neighbor’s pit bulls early Friday morning.

"He's protecting me and my animals," Gomez said.

She said the dogs either climbed over her fence or dug under it and were attacking her pig.

"They were trying to get his ears, but he fought," Gomez said.

The pig survived. Three dogs are now dead.

"The cops have always given me and told me you have a right to shoot and kill the dogs," Gomez said. "I don't like to kill dogs. I mean I love animals. They should not have to die by a bullet."

Gomez said enough was enough.

"I think that she's going to be more careful about letting them loose or letting them loose at night, like the way she has been," Gomez said.

In the past two years, Gomez said her pig and donkey were attacked and her three chickens, foal, and a miniature horse were killed.

"I live in fear for my life," Gomez said.

Caldwell County records show from January 2022 to the end of July 2024, there have been more than 45 calls for service from these two neighboring properties for things like cruelty to animals, animal attacks, noise complaints, threats, neighbor disputes, stray dogs, and animals at large.

A miniature horse was viciously attacked by pit bulls in Lockhart

Records show the owner of the dogs has received two citations for nuisance animals. The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office said she made the scheduled court dates and paid the fines to the court.

"A citation is not enough. To remedy this, they need to pick up the dogs," Gomez said.

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office originally told FOX 7 they couldn’t comment on this case because it was active. On Monday night, they made a statement and said they have, "followed the laws of the State of Texas and has pursued this matter to the fullest extent possible, as the situation stands today between the neighbors in this case, and will continue to follow state law in these kinds of situations to hopefully prevent more deaths of pets and livestock in our County."

Gomez said she plans to sue Caldwell County and her neighbor for all that she’s been through.

I don’t want to post the pictures because her injuries are on her butt, but it tore huge pieces of her flesh out. Two full bites. Her right butt cheek is mangled.

Damn. That's awful. There's definitely going to be some psychological trauma associated with that experience, as well. So very sorry, Constant. Strength and good health to your young lady.

Surly is loaded with lawyers, so you should have some good leads soon, if you don't already.

Hang in there.

Yeah, I know the home the dog belongs to. My daughter was over there visiting with a friend in their driveway when the dog got loose from inside and attacked her in their driveway. That family witnessed it, but I don’t trust them to do the right thing in the end.

Did you call the police and local animal control yet? Important to do so even if they don’t remove the animal, and get an official report in and the owners with a record. 

Yeah. Did that stuff the day of. Unfortunately, I’m a little too familiar with the process due to my work. And I’ve found representation, so that part is also done.

Sorry @Constant  That fucking sucks and hope you get all you deserve. This includes the emotional help for your daughter. I hope she does not growing up scared of all dogs.

The other two posts above piss me off. 1- the pit defender's statement of you always need to watch YOUR FAMILY DOG... Um, I had dogs to protect my kids. 2- The Go Fund Me. I won't say more.

I really hope your little girl recovers soon.  It will be interesting to see what breed the family told their insurer they had as nearly all refuse to cover pits and similar dogs.
