I would disagree , ............ dogfighters select their dogs for only one reason , game ...........health , temperament , looks , none of that matters ...... the thought pitbulls are the least likely breed of dog to bite you could get you seriously bit , as getting bit by a dog like a pitbull will probably be more serious than getting bit by most other dogs ........ that culling myth is either Stratton or Hammond book info ......... you'll be hard pressed to find a dogfighter that has practiced it for any length of time that hasn't been bitten , or that culled a winning/game dog based on human aggression ........ zebo , bolio , angus , chinaman , virgil , some of those dogs owners were afraid of their own dogs , because they had been bitten by them . the only reason you didn't know it until after the late 70's is previous to that those dogs were kept on chains by folks who knew what they were capable of ......... plenty of pitbulls have excelled at bite sports........... did you know Mike Sottile ?
Since you, as always, prefer to talk before you know what you're talking about let me explain my statement. Not for your benefit but others might be interested in this info. I'm surprised you don't know this already since you have been "raised by a man who fought dogs" as you so freely and moronically admitted.
I don't like people who fight dogs. I also don't like people who have friends who fight dogs. Not many people have seen the level of cruelty and suffering these poor dogs go through to entertain and make money for sub human filth.
Let me get something out of the way first. All of my knowledge on the matter has been accumulated through my many years of fighting the idiotic, cruel and senseless "sport" of dog fighting. I have on 5 separate occasions helped the police break up dog fighting rings and will continue doing this at any opportunity that may present itself. Dog fighting is one of the clearest examples of how demonically sick humans can be...
I do not condone this sort of evil and anyone who engages and condones this stuff is my enemy.
Having said all that I have learned many things about pitbulls in the process. What I'm about to say here is not what I "think" but rather what I know to be the absolute truth.
First people need to know how pitbulls are fought. It's not like a backyard brawl between two neighborhood dogs. It's a controlled spectacle for mentally ill people who get off on innocent animals tearing each other apart. Since these bloodthirsty idiots want to watch as long a fight as possible they have come up with rules to lengthen the matches and the gore in the process.
The way these poor dogs are fought is as follows...
Two dogs are put in a pit with a handler to each dog along with a referee. That means that there are two strangers to each dog present in the ring while the dogs fight.
The dogs are put on the opposite end of the pit and are let go at the same time.
The dogs then fight until one gets a hold of the other and causes enough pain for the other dog to start backing up and acts like he wants to stop fighting.
Once one of the dogs acts like he wants to stop fighting, the dogs are separated and once again put on the opposite end of the pit by their respective handlers.
Then the dog which acted like he might want to stop fighting is let go first.... this is called a "scratch". If he goes for the other dog in a straight line the other dog is let go and the fight continues. If the dog hesitates and doesn't "scratch" the fight is over.
Now... this demonic activity continues for hours.... sometimes for 3 or even 4 hours for the more game dogs of the breed. Pitbulls don't like giving up so you can imagine how long they have to fight and how often they might have to get separated and "scratch" during a single match.
They are separated hundreds of times during a multiple hour match. Now... anyone who has the pleasure of having a dog knows that every dog, regardless of breed or size, gets into it with another dog at some point during its life... may it be over a bone, jealousy, playing too rough or whatever reason it may be. And any loving dog parent will immediately separate the two dogs fighting off course. AND every dog parent knows that when you are separating two dogs which are fighting you have to be VERY careful because even your own dog might bite you in the process of breaking up the fight. Not because the dog is "mean" but because the dog is under stress and won't know who or what is grabbing him. So you can very easily get bitten by your own pooch. Now... if a pitbull does this, meaning bite anyone, during the sometimes hundreds of times they are being separated during a single match then the dog is disqualified, the fight is over and all of the betting money on this dog is lost.
These poor dogs get their ears ripped off and are bleeding and in pain all over but they still have to let a known AND an unknown handler separate them WITHOUT turning on them.
Remember that this atrocity is about MONEY. So it is logical that a dog that bites a human when they are separated won't make these monsters any money. It is also logical that these monsters selectively bred dogs that would not under any circumstance put their mouth on a human hand. Logic will tell you that one of the pitbulls key traits had to be the ability to stay calm enough to not turn on their human handler and even the stranger who happens to handle the other dog since both handlers need to be able to put their hands in there.
What I am saying here is common knowledge amongst people who know about the grim reality of dog fighting and how, why and what pitbulls were bred for.
Most people don't ever get to see a well bred dog of any breed. The average pitbull was not bred by someone who knew what makes a pitbull great. The pitbulls the average person encounters are nothing like what a real pitbull is and should be. 99 percent of the people who have German Shepherds don't have a clue what the pinnacle gsd can be and what it would be like owning such a dog. What I'm trying to say is that the average "pitbull" you read about in the news is NOT what the breed really is or should be.
I'm not saying that there aren't ghetto pits out there who are human aggressive. What I'm saying is that a REAL pitbull which had been bred PROPERLY has a built in reluctance to bite a human. The reluctance to bite a human hand while under stress is just as important a trait as the pitbulls willingness to do battle with another dog. These traits are important even to the average loving dog owner. Some may ask why it is important? My answer is that a bloodhound who doesn't live to track is not a bloodhound. A gsd that doesn't want to herd is not a gsd. A Fila that doesn't want to guard is not a Fila and yes... a pitbull that is human aggressive and won't respond to another dog's challenge is not a pitbull.
Anyway... I hope I made sense to those of you who were interested.
Remember that these sub human monsters are making money with these poor dogs and so they breed for the traits that enable them to make money.
Marke. Please stop reading my posts and please stop communicating with me. I know what kind of person you are and you don't have the knowledge to add anything as far as correct information is concerned. So can you and I just call it a day?
I won't read or comment on your posts and you do the same in return? If you and I met in real life and we had a conversation we would find out real quick that we have nothing in common and we don't like each other. The only logical thing to do at that point would be to leave one another in peace. So in real life I would ask you the same as I'm doing here... please do not speak to me. Not here, not in real life, not for any reason whatsoever. Please be so kind and leave me in peace.
Fair enough?
