The Mighty Pitbull

[reginaville]

Pit Bull is a term commonly used to describe several breeds of dog in the Molosser family that were historically used for dog fighting. In the history of England, these dogs were used in battle and for guarding, but they also served utilitarian purposes, such as farm work. Specifically, these dogs accompanied farmers into the fields to assist with bringing bulls in for breeding, castration, or slaughter. Generally known as bulldogs, they protected the farmer by subduing the bull if it attempted to gore him.

Typically a dog would do this by biting the bull on the nose and holding on to the violently struggling bull despite injury. They are popularly known as "lock jaw" dogs that anyone bitten by them cannot easily get away from their hideous jaws. Lack of proper socialization and strong training can result in a dog with aggressive tendencies. Under the care of an overly-permissive or uneducated owner, Pit Bulls can become very dangerous dogs.

I moved this to the breed forum, where I figure it can get the most attention. And I'm curious too: what's the point of this post? I don't know much about pit bull history, but the rest seems fairly accurate except for that statement about their "hideous" jaws. Pit bulls have bites that are no stronger than any other dog of a similar build. And just to clarify, the "lack of socialization" statement applies to ANY breed of dog.

What are your feelings on the pit bull? What do you know about the breed? I'm curious because we have quite a few knowledgeable pit bull people on this board, and they can help clarify any misconceptions or questions you have. Because sadly, there are a ton of pit bull myths in circulation.

Pit Bull Myths

Hi guys,

I was searching the net for a possible answer about Pit Bull infamous locking jaw. And most of the answer i got, that, is it completely a myth. And not just a myth but a very common misconception about Pit Bull. So i guess our friend reginaville is just one of them. And i am guilty of it as well. My point is we should have corrected her in the first place and not belittle her post. I don't think she's posting the info pretending to be an expert. She just post something that she though would be useful...looks like a newbie to me. so i agree with gempress that there are a few knowledgeable pit bull people on this board that could help her understand better.

just my two cents opcorn:

We're all a little twitchy right now, Sherlock. We've been inundated with spam lately That's why I went back and checked for her other posts.

You know, if you wanted people with any kind of dog sense to go and read your blog, those weren't the paragraphs I would've chosen to lure them in. You might attract folks like those dogsbite.org morons or the FDAFB tweakers. But nobody who knows or likes Pit Bulls will follow that link with anything less than the intent to educate you at best, tar and feather you at worst.

Ohhhhhhhh wow.

Hi, Sherlock, I hope you stick around. Renee's right about us being "trigger happy" - especially when someone joins the forum, doesn't introduce themselves, and makes one post defending another newb. It makes me think of sockpuppets.

And I don't like sockpuppets. Especially when they eat my popcorn.
