Do you know what? I am done with this board. I have been disrespected, accused, and so has my breed. I have done everything in my power to be civil and respectful and it has brought nothing but disappointment.

This is a major problem with today. People don't want to put the blame on the true cause of the problem. If a kid doesn't pay attention, he is ADD. Instead, he is actually just being lazy. A person joins a gang. But, it wasn't their choice. They are a product of their environment. Put...

How do you know that they are starved of human attention? Are you saying that my DA dog is exploited because it is a true example of the breed? Sure, there are some that are fought or exploited. However, this is a result of the owners. Not the fact that they are DA.

MY DA DOG IS NOT DANGEROUS. Not in the least sense. I have had 2 highly DA dogs stolen from inside my house! I have never had a fight. Do those sound like dangerous dogs? The owners are the ones that are dangerous! A dog only does what its owner allows.

Thank you!

Breeding DA out of this breed is impossible. However, it is much more likely that we can push to have some sort of regulations that keep this breed from being bred as it is. There are far too many of these dogs out there. I believe that we should focus on the cause of the problem and not the...

My replies are in red.

Well, sadly those dogs should be put down rather than be put in an uneducated and unprepared owner's hands. I would rather them be put down. If we focus on the real problems like overpopulation, we wouldn't have all of these DA dogs in the shelters in the first place. Once again, DA isn't...

Thank you!

You can't stop a dog from snoring but to prevent a fight, all you have to do is be responsible. It isn't difficult. I have never had an accident in over 10 years. My dogs have all been DA. However, they haven't got in a fight. I sure can't see how breeding a DA dog is forcing them to fight...

Not you? Are you serious?

Please, let's leave the discussion of DA alone. It is going nowhere. The bottom line is, there is no way that this breed will ever have DA bred out so the argument is pointless. If you think DA should be bred out, that is your opinion. Expect those that want to preserve the breed to...

Sounds like common sense to me. If God took some of my traits away, I wouldn't be the same person. I may look the same. But, that is about it.

I'm taking it to bed. Sorry, if I came across as rude at any point. I'll check on the thread tomorrow.

Well, a dog couldn't perform its original task if it didn't want to fight. It had to want to fight the other dog. Therefore, DA had to be part of the breed. Remember, they weren't forced to fight. They were bred for it. The reason cold dogs are still considered APBTs is because they...

It is needed because it is a cornerstone trait of the breed. Plain and simple. In my opinion, if the only thing that changed was DA, it still would be the end of the breed. Something vital for the development of a fighting dog would be gone. An APBT is a fighting dog and you have removed the...
