When will these idiots realize that the Bulldog is a breed designed around a specific function of aggression and that it is not a lap dog...and its not the fault of the breed…they do what they were bred to do back when their services were necessary in days gone by.
I notice that the owners of Bulldogs are always defending this breed..why is that? Why are they always defending their favorite breed?(I am sure they will be here on this forum before long crying about how sweet there little pit bull is, and how dare you say that Pit bull are dangerous!...boring)
I will tell you why they are always on the defense; Because Bulldogs kill and mutilate children and adults including their owners worldwide on a very regular basis...Go Google Bulldog attacks..and get ready to be sick….these things bite frequently ..and when they bite its generally real bad!
I feel so bad for this kids parents..and for the stupid sleeping granny who didn’t see it coming…talk about a guilt trip..
Bulldogs are an entirely different breed you idiot. Maybe laws should target the owners and not the dogs. That's right, it's america and it's easier to put the blame on anyone and everyone except those at fault.

But you're a bit irrational about the pit bull not being trainable. But when they are not trained, they can be very dangerous to everyone accept it's master.
Well......you can train train a tiger too, but that don't mean it won't eat you.

Ok ….thank you for your comments. So what you’re saying is that a Staffordshire Terrier is not a Bulldog variety? And what I am saying is that you’re wrong. The Staffordshire Terrier is classified as a Pit-bull …don’t believe it? Then educated your self on the subject first. Don’t like it then…then call the American Kennel Club and complain to them.

Statement below is from Dogbreedinfo.com

“Classed by AKC as "American Staffordshire Terrier" and by UKC as "American Pit Bull Terrier." The American Staffordshire Terrier, are generally of larger bone structure, head size and weight then their cousins the American Pit Bull Terrier.”

I agree with you about the owners being the problem...these dogs have been known to be trouble…but not because of the breed…but the ignorance of the owners. All dogs just do what come naturally to them. I am a dog owner, had many breeds with great enjoyment. I do however educate myself on that particular breed long before it comes into my life...it works out better for all of us.

Welll you go ahead and play your game lad..Most normael folks know damn well a pitbull is not a good thing to have around littel kids.
I'll take a lab anyday..They don't take no trainging in non-face mangeling.
Unfortunately, my boss had to get rid of a lab that was aggressive.
I think a lot of things depend on the raising of a dog. I have a chow chow, very sweet. I would never leave a baby around her though, she is not use to little kids. One of my neightbors had several pits, good dogs. He also had them contained in a fence within a fence and an electric fence surrounding their pen. I give him kudo's for making sure the dogs behaved and stayed put.
People just need to wise up, they are animal and instint can kick in at anytime. Be a responsible pet owner.

The English Bull dog is the breed that is best know as the mascot of the US Marine corps. They are a generally docile dog..and probably what your thinking of.

The Pit Bull is not a docile breed, it is the dog used commonly for fighting competitions because it is fearless and will not quit fighting until its wins or dies....a dog fighters dream. So the problem is that when they turn bad there is no stopping them…they have no off button. Are they all bad? Of course not..but many irresponsible people own them as a status symbol of courage and fearlessness...and like to show off the breed capabilities.

We should k i l l all pits. They cause more harm than they do good. They are worthless, ugly, and dangerous. We don't need them around. Get rid of them all! I know if one ever comes at me the wrong way, you can be sure its head will be bashed in with a baseball bat (:

Why would you leave a child sleeping on a table anyway. If he had not been on the table he could not have fallen. First looks like she would have heard the bang of him falling. If he had not been unconscience then he would have cried when the dogs first got around him. And if she weren't too tipsy from the wine she would have woke up and been able to get the dogs away from him. You'd also think she would have heard the growling from the dogs. Most dogs that are shredding a living creature to death don't usually do it quietly. I have to say, I do not really like pits because of the reputation they have but I do not blame the dogs in this incident.

I used to work with a dog rescue.
Yes I met many sweet pitbulls but I never forgot to remember they could drag a full bull cow to the ground and kill it.
I never once fostered one I didn't relish waking up with one chewing on my neck like a rubber ducky.
This breed has outlived it's usefullness and no one I mean no one should own one.
By the way it seems the worst degenrates own them.
That Michael Vick beat,abused and killed dogs and guess what he is out free to do it again.
Now every banger across America has one and is training them to fight,kill, and maim their fellow man.
Aren't you really glad they are a sweet dog and everone haves one.

The pitbull CAN be a docile breed depending on the OWNERS care and training of the dog. The moral of the story to me is watch your children carefully, and train your dogs properly!

Would you trust one around your baby? I am going to say that if your a rational thinking person the answer is NO. The reason the answer is no is beacouse they are not best suited as family pets..simple.

I would not you are right. However it is not because of the breed but beacuse ANY animal (except maybe a fish) should not be left unatteneded with an infant!

First off, Staffordshire Terriers are much smaller than the average American Pit Bull Terrier. American Bulldogs on the other hand tend to weigh in excess of 100 lbs. Maybe you should do a little research and realize that American Pit Bull Terriers are a totaly different breed than the American Bulldog.
