He may not be a good trainer, but you dont get to read the statistics on "friends of pitbull" sites

Guess I was wrong huh

Here is the truth about Pitbulls http://www.edba.org.au/courier.html I still like them though.

No, sorry, it just wanted to bight off her finger

So, they do lock on, even if they are not biologically different?

The fact that they get lock jaw probably has a lot to do with wanting to ban them. My aunty nearly lost her finger when she tried seperating a staffy and pitbull when the pitbull´s jaws locked on around her finger, you could see the pitty couldn´t do anything against it and looked very sorry for...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naturally Pitbull´s dont have a "locking mechanism" in their jaws, but has nobody seen a pitbull´s jaws "lock on"? Perhaps the pitty that my auntie raised and loved, the pitbull that loved her actually did want...

Please, someone explain to me why you would try to feeding your dog more oil for a shiny coat. Perhaps it is good for a show dog that you want to exploit to win prizes, but when in nature would it come close to eating such things. Fish, who has seen a dog catch a fish and eat it, it is not...

sorry to bring it up again, but do pitbulls have a tendency to lock there jaws or not. The poor, poor pitbull has, yes, a lot of publicity, is there a reason behind it?

A freind of mine has a bar/restaurant. Her dog is a collie and although it will let people enter, it barks and stands in front of the guest as if they were sheep.

A blue heeler (Australian cattle dog) loves to swim, but like all dogs, you have to introduce it to water as young as possible. A fear of water is something that you will never change when it is older. Oh yeah, especially with salt water. I had a Germ shep that loved to swim in fresh water, in...

Oh, didn´t read the rest, but if you have ever had a "street dog", one that has had no real owner, no real home, you have to dominate it(with love of course). Otherwise it will controll your life and be extremely aggresive towards other people/dogs. I dont know if anyone has had anything to do...

Well, when a dog rolls on it´s back it Supposedly means that it wants no trouble, that it is accepting you as its boss, exposing its most vanuable parts as a gesture of good will. A good thing when you want to have the respect of your dog, but a small puppy is not exactly going to tell you...

Or look at a site like this http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/dog.html pitbulls get a lot of publicity don´t they, what about these poor little buggers

Yes it is sad, but it is not just pitbulls. How many dogs are starved like that, loose their hair due to lack of proper nourishment?

I´d believe, thats why in all my years of living in Australia I haven´t heard of them.

I have to agree, Athe. I know people who put hours into the research and making of special dog diets, making sure the food has the right minerals, vitamins, oils ect. One was a vegetarian who would feed the dog meat but thought she was herself leading a strict vegetarian diet. Imagine her...

Interesting views, yes, I saw somewhere in a documentory that dogs and even wolves have significantly reduced in size due to interaction with humans and forced change of environment. I am guessing also that the change in diet has an effect on the monocultures which aid the imune system and...

When we move to oz, I am going to suprise my girlfriend with a boarder collie (they are easy to train and I find have a familly orientated temperament) and a blue heeler (mans best friend)

I am just wondering why people try to supplement a dog´s diet with ingredients which are not part of it´s natural diet. Is a dog not a hunter/scavenger? Is it wise to give your dog fish for added iodine for example, rice for carbohydrates? Could it be that trying other foods for your dog...
