Who has a pit? (Dog)

[charlescho]

Why in particular "these animals"?
From my experience small lap dogs are more vicious than pits by a long shot.

This is extremely true, MY reason being when a small lap dog bites or barks the owners usually do not correct them as they are harmless and may be considered as a cute gesture.

now when a big dog barks or jumps on you it is a little bit harder to ignore, although just as cute, so the owners correct them early on. And given the reputation of pitbulls set by the media and irresponsible owners, most of the pit-owners I have seen are very careful/aware of their dog's body language and potential.

for this reason(but not this alone) smaller lap dogs are more vicious in my mind. but all dogs are equal, it really comes to the owner and how it was raised/trained.

my pit plays dead when barked at or chased after at the dog park. do I think he does that because he is a pit? no, but rather because that is his personality and I do not know what he went through before being rescued so I am sure he has a reason.

here is my rescue puppy and his website.

Me and my wife literally just rescued 2 pits a few days ago. A 70lbs, 2yo, brindle male named Ra[Raw] (Sun God) and a 45lbs, 1yo, all white female named Maia[Maya] (Greek Goddess). The boy has adapted very quickly and is extremely loving and fun. The girl is still a little stressed from the vast change of environment and recent surgery. But overall she's opening up a lot to everyone and is very sweet. Ra is my dog and Maia is my wife's. Honestly...other than some of the typical hooliganism from him, he's one of the best dogs I've had.

GF's parents have a Pit. I used to not like them until meeting him (Sampson). He's cool as shit. I think he's ~13 years old now, but is one of the sweetest dogs I've met.

I just don't like slobbery dogs.

My Elsa has some pit in her, but she's mostly Lab and GSD.

this is oscar. he is a little under 3 years old i think. about 2 years ago, i found him roving around the neighborhood. he had no collar and was skinny as a rail. about 15-20lbs underweight. (he now weighs about 45lbs) my intention was to just rescue him, nurse back to health and find a good home. turns out he was such a good dog (and we developed such a strong bond), i couldn't get rid of him. my wife isn't an animal lover, so it caused some friction initially. we have learned to make it work though. she knows how important that dog is to me. he is a sweet boy, eager to please, and does what i ask. i never use a leash on him unless we are in a public place such as home depot or petco. he pretty much goes with me everywhere i go(except when i go to work) unless its balls ass hot in the texas summer. he never barks. he loves to just chill in the truck or the e30 when i go in someplace. i feel blessed to have him and i think the feeling is mutual. generally everyone that comes into contact with him loves him.

Haha. I've noticed our dogs like to bury their heads in your arms or do stuff like yours.
