I guess while all you were growing up letting your dogs lick the inside of your mouths and other things I was enjoying friends, family, and letting human females I met along the way lick the inside of my mouth and other things. To each his own I guess. Or you could just watch the news. I've never seen pitbulls take over the city of Seattle for months at a time, holding everyone around them hostage and burning down businesses. I've never seen Doberman pinchers storm a capital buildings. I've never seen German Shepards calling out sick or just showing up to work to collect a paycheck. I've never seen a poodle drive drunk, kill a family, then plead innocent and say, it wasn't me. I've never seen a husky perform armed robbery/assault. Not give up during an altercation. Die as a result of it. Then see the dogs family cry in out rage and say he was misunderstood. He was a good boy, he's only done this 4 times before. I've never seen a Dalmatian get picked up by the pound over 30 times in a ten year period. I've heard of arrest records that big and higher. I've never seen a bulldog turn it's human into an evil person. I have seen a human turn a bulldog into an evil dog. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fatal dog attacks in the United States cause the deaths of about 30 to 50 people in the US each year, and the number of deaths from dog attacks appears to be increasing. Around 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year, resulting in the hospitalization of 6,000 to 13,000 people each year in the United States (2005).[The breeds of dog responsible for the most bites per year, according to the American Animal Hospital Association, are, in order: pit bull-type dogs, mixed breeds, and German Shepherds. Dogs are non essential and yet this is allowed and loved by many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,311 Posted June 19, 2021 On 1/25/2021 at 5:44 AM, Patriotsfatboy1 said: I have adopted 3 dogs. I definitely see a trend where they are being more cautious with placements. - One was 25 years ago and they did a little background check. Mainly just a questionnaire. - One was 12 years ago and they did a more thorough background check, but no home visit and no call to the vet. - One in October during COVID and they did an online questionnaire, voice interview, Zoom virtual home visit and they called my vet. With all of that said, no one should think that this is even remotely close to adopting a child as that is far more vigorous. Trust me as we have done that too. How’d you adopt (the kid)? Got any advice from the process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,639 Posted June 19, 2021 Not to hijack, but don't adopt a kid. Become a foster parent. First off, you get paid for it. You don't get paid to adopt. And second, there basically are no rules. The worst people in the world become foster parents. Plus, you can molest the hell out of the kids and the state doesn't give a s***. I learned all this from over 20 seasons of law and order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However that was when I was a teenager and we had acreage. Nothing worse than the dude who lives in a townhouse with a big dog and takes it with him to the Brewery. 1. Dogs need room to run 2. Nobody wants to hear your poorly trained dog bark . I realize its "cool" and all but I'm being honest. I agree completely. If you live in an apartment, you should not have a dog, especially a big one. Unless you are a marathon runner or something and take it running with you. If you share a wall with another person, you should not have a dog. Period. Oh, and if you give a dog insulin daily or other expensive medical care that most human beings on the planet cannot afford, you are a ridiculous ass hole.

KayJay1971 238 Posted June 21, 2021 I have personally seen both sides of the Pit Bull debate. My daughter who was probably 12 at the time wanted one so bad. So put together a compelling pitch and we ended up getting a "sport" breed. I was unaware of this at the time. That dog was raised with all the love in the world and still was aggressive towards other dogs and especially around food/toys. Never went after any human but damn near killed our chihuahua mix at the time. Picked her up in her mouth and shook her violently. We had to put her down as I could not take a chance of her turning on somebody. Flash forward a few years and my daughter asks for another. She put in a lot of research and found the "show" breed to be much more docile. She got a male and began to show him. He ended up becoming a grand champion in the UKC and had many MANY puppies. He was the sweetest guy ever. We had probably a couple dozen dogs over the years that were all great and we never had any problems. I think there is something to the different breeds. I am still scared to death of any pit bull that i do not know just based off of the experience of the first dog, but I know there are many more that I would absolutely trust my grandkids around. Just my .02. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
