LOCK JAW IS A MYTH STUDIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A PIT BULLS BIT IS NO STRONGER THEN THAT OF GSD, ROTTIE, ETC. I work my Pits in Schutzhund and my dogs have a harder time holding their bites then the GSD and Rotties.

Chaining results in aggression (26-28% of dogs involved in fatal attacks were chained at the time). Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association: Dog Bite Related Fatalities from 1979 through 1988 by J. Sacks. R. W. Sattin, & S. E. Bonzo. Volume 262, pages 1489-1492. Chaining or tethering has been declared illegal in many communities. See Current Legislation on Tethering Dogs from www.HelpingAnimals.com, and also Dogs Deserve Better, a website that advocates against chaining and penning dogs. California was the first state in the nation to prohibit chaining (click here to read the law).

This is so sad..... This thread has had 350 views and 33 replies. We all should know by now how the media works. YES IT IS SAD WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GIRL. Her mom should have been the the one that was chewed up worse. We will probably never know the circumstances surrounding this event. All the media cares about is showing you freak story were the the mother and the neighbors save the day. If it wasn't for them they would be having this conversation. Good thing the don't live in California. Mom would be in jail. People need to stop falling for the the media's BS, Breeders need to screen owners better If you want a Pit DO THE RESEARCH

I don't trust pits, and I'll give you the step-by-step logic behind my opinion.

1) These dogs are bred to be dog aggressive.

2) Dog aggression can become human aggression in the blink of an eye.

It's that simple.

The vet who treated my first GSD for pannus said they reminded him of the bears he used to deal with in the zoo. One moment they were nice and friendly and gentle, the next moment, a switch would flip, and they'd go berserk. A couple of minutes later, they'd be back to nice and gentle, but somebody would be dead or seriously injured.

Breeding will out every time. I'm dog-sitting a foxhound right now. She follows her nose everywhere, sticks it into every crevice and hole in the backyard, in case a varmit might be there, while my two Shepherds are more interested in playing ball with me. I expect nothing different from her, because she's a HOUND. Same with the pit bull. They are bred for aggression, not sweet, gentle natures. If I want a dog that's good with kids, I'lll get a golden or a lab, or a well-bred GSD.

So if Pit Bulls have the same bite pressure as any other large breed, why are some Pit breeders advertising their stud's high bite pressure as a selling point?  "Mammoth power!  3,300 psi!"  That was an ad in "Dog Fancy" magazine, with the AKC pet crowd as their target audience.

For all of you here that are Americans. Do a little research and you will find that WE AMERICANS are responsible for what they have become. What once was the number one family pet in America is now feared and even band in some parts of the country that made them. These dogs were never breed for aggression. They were breed to do what every they were told, even if it meant losing there life. So tell me this Sunsilver, you own a GSD. What were they breed for??? What are they used for??? I have a 12yr next door that is afraid of my 4 month GSD but loves my Pits. Why?? He almost had his face ripped off by his old neighbors GSD when he was 6.

SchHBabe, They are full of it...... This is the problem..... Pit Bulls are not AKC. This ad you read is to try and attract the big headed people that think having a Pit will make them look cool. Give me their number. I will call them myself and tell them what fools they are making of themselves!!!!! I bet they carry around that scientific equipment in their back pocket too....

FYI..... The fiercest bite Erickson has ever recorded from one of his alligator experiments was delivered by a 13-foot, 750-lb wild animal captured from a lake in Central Florida. The big gator hammered Erickson's machine with 2,960 pounds of force, roughly the weight of a Toyota pick-up. http://www.rinr.fsu.edu/fall2003/trex.html There is the site if you want to read more
