[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1421795"] I can, and do disagree with your "results". You, yourself have admitted that you have had to defend against dogs attacking you. You are very naive to think that any particular dog is a "potential biter or not". We have friends that raised their dog correctly from birth. socialized him, brought him to obedience training etc., they have always been dog owners. He never showed any signs of aggression until... he attacked their 7 year old daughter who had been around the dog it's entire life. He permanently scared her face. I have been bitten by 2 dogs on my route that had known me for years. You can't know if a dog is being stung by a bee, has an internal pain etc the moment before he turns.That being said, Pit Bulls are bred to be attacking machines. They are bred to maul, and in my opinion have no business being let loose outside no mater how many cute pictures you post of them. Here are some things you might want to consider...
