Two 8-month-old pit bulls that were loose in Nanaimo attacked several children, severely injuring at least one. Other people that came to aid the children were also injured.

The children were playing in a yard at the house of one of their friends. The dogs were from somewhere else in the neighborhood and had been cited for being at large previously.

One of the owners of the dogs came and got the dogs but did not stick around. The news interviewed the other owner, a Dangerhair that looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s. While she was devastated at what her dogs had done, she said to the reporter, "People are saying, look at this from the prospective of a parent, well, these dogs are my kids, too," and then she broke down crying.

It was later reported both dogs were euthanized, as there have been other incidents prior to this one, and due to the severity of the injuries the one particular child sustained.

To the dangerhair dog owner I would have to say, "If these dogs were your KIDS, you did a lousy job of raising them. Thank heavens you didn't spawn any of your own."

The nanny dog argument is stupid to me, because who lets a dog watch their kids?

Rich fucks? They have servants for that.
Poor people? Nowadays kids are at school most of the day, or they'd be working alongside their parents in the past.

Little little kids? Mom stays home or finds time if you're poor, or you send them to daycare, or you get a wet nurse if you're a rich person from centuries ago.

Setting aside that the nanny dog story is literally fabricated to give shitbulls a clean backstory even though they were literally bred to fight.

The nanny dog myth believers I've talked to can't really even explain what a nanny dog would do. Maybe fetch the diaper bag? Bring in a milk bottle the milkman left outside the door? Bark for mom if the baby starts crawling away? Who knows. But whatever it is, pits were totally bred to do it.

I've been told flat out that pits were bred to nurture children. What that means, they always have no idea. Also they always seem to act like it the nannying was something pits could have done in the 50s or earlier, but apparently not now, because they certainly aren't nannying these days. It's weird.

Pits as a breed are prone to skin issues, including but not limited to what looks like diaper rash around the mouth. Of course it will look 100x worse on a white shitbull than any other color. A backyard bred street pit is of course probably going to have worse skin problems than an AKC-registered line bred one.

White shitbulls are almost always the most demented looking. It's because the white highlights their soulless, beady eyes.

Most white or majority white (like Dalmatians) dogs are also prone to deafness since it's apparently carried on the same gene that carries the white fur trait, which can also make them aggressive since they can't hear what's going on around them. At least, that's the case with breeds that have several possibilities for coat color like Dachshunds, Great Danes, Shit Bulls, etc. as well as some breeds that only have one coat color like Dalmatians and Bull Terriers. I don't know if other breeds that are normally white/mostly white like Samoyeds and Pyrenees also carry the deafness trait. But even non-aggressive breeds that go deaf have the possibility of getting nippy and snapping because they get startled, it just much worse with Shittles.

If Dalmatians are deaf, that would make sense for why they were associated with firefighting. Alarms and fires and yelling wouldn't be a distraction at all.

To be clear, not all white dogs will go deaf. Some live their whole lives with excellent hearing. It's just that they are genetically more likely to go deaf or be born deaf than other breeds/dogs of the same breed with different coats, and that genetic predisposition is carried on the same gene that gives them a white coat.

I know what you meant, i just made an association I haven't before.

What is a dogs heat like? I've only had cats, and the one time I misjudged how old one was I paid extra to get her spayed while in heat because it was that fucking annoying. Constant intermittent screaming, day and night, sticking her butt aggressively in your face. Ugh.

Depends on the dog. We had one who kept herself so clean we barely noticed, the recent one wore those washable diapers because she dripped (ew). She did flirt more with our neutered male dogs (who were A LOT more interested in her than usual, but both were idiots and neutered so no big deal). We went out with her in our fenced yard, but she didn’t have any interest in roaming the neighborhood, nor did she whine, bark, or howl to go out.

I think it stems partially from "The Little Rascals," more specifically "Our Gang." Petey was the dog featured among the kids and he was a pitbull.

I always thought he was an American Bulldog, like Chance from the Homeward Bound movies. I wonder if the Pibble tards are "culturally appropriating" Petey?

You are thinking of the movie.

It's worth remembering dalmations were slightly less unhealthy prior to the re-releases of 101 Dalmatians. For some reason, a movie from the 1960's inspired tons of people to buy a high energy working dog in the 80's and 90's. It got worse with the 1996 live action version.

This has happened to other breeds that show up in popular movies and TV shows. Surprised(and glad) it never happened to Neopolitan mastiffs. Fang from Harry Potter was a Neo in the movies. Here's something funny one of them did on set. This one's name was Monkey.

On one occasion, he mistook an animatronic dragon for an oversized dog toy and not a key part of the movies. Another incident saw him cover the whole set in drool when he shook his massive head at the wrong time.

The Pete in the 1994 movie is an American bulldog. The Pete in the original series was an American pitbull terrier.

Neopolitan Mastiffs are HUGE dogs, literally the size and weight of an adult human. And as you pointed out, they drool a LOT. Most people aren't willing to take on a pet like that. They're also pretty uncommon and expensive. The fact that Fang was always referred to as a Boarhound rather than a specific breed like Neopolitan Mastiff might also have something to do with it, and he wasn't the focus of any of the books or movies like the Dalmations were in the Disney movies.

Wasn't the original Petey known for biting people on set?

Yeah IIRC he was disliked by everyone there and eventually poisoned, with nobody willing to rat out who did it.

On r/BanPitbulls one user has been collecting some interesting old news reports on attacks. These dogs were never nanny material

"That dog was abused!" without realizing that's a self-snitch.

Like every other person that adopts an animal claims it's "abused". It goes doubly for shitbulls. I don't know if shelters like to lie or people just think if it's shy it's abused or they like the good person points, but it's way disproportionate.

I think the increased popularity of huskies which started 10-15 years ago is down to the direwolves in Game of Thrones. Before then it was rare to see one in my city, suddenly a lot of people who lived in small flats had these very high maintenance, neurotic working dogs that are completely unsuited to their lifestyle.

These are dogs that literally need to work. They go all kinds of neurotic if they aren't constantly active. They're a terrible choice for a pet and you almost have to be an athlete yourself to give them enough activity to keep them happy. It's outright cruel to keep them in a small apartment.

Agreed. I think they are absolutely beautiful dogs and I would love to be the kind of person who could own one and give it the home it needs in terms of exercise and companionship, but I know that’s not reality of my life . Which is why I own a lazy, soppy potato of a cat.

Almost anyone living in a city with a full-time job who keeps a working-breed dog is either an idiot or just straight up doesn't give a fuck about their dog's welfare.

I have friends with the most beautiful Eurasier but because of the Keeshond in her she needs a LOT of exercise, and back when they were still city-dwellers they used to have to pay a fortune for someone to come and walk/run all the crazy out of her every day. My family's Lurchers and our Estrella are similar; the sighthounds might sleep 18h a day but unless they get the exercise and stimulation first to get the beans out of them they are all bouncing off the walls and hard to handle. Working dogs need to WORK.

Never owned or known anyone with a shibble but from what I gather, they need a good few hours of wearing out or frustration sets in really quickly. Imo if you're not giving them that, you're partly to blame when they get bored and hyper and bite your face off. Fuck caring for something that dangerous and strong if you don't have the time or resources to properly manage it.

My old high school buddy adopted a husky because they wanted a high energy working dog to keep them company on their property. They ended up with a one in a million dog that only wanted to run for an hour or two a day, never jumped a fence, dug a hole, destroyed a toy, acted dramatic or "talked/screamed". It was weird as all fuck, but she was a very sweet girl and I miss that dog even though she wasn't mine.

Thread Tax: there were two different houses nearish my own that each had five massive pibbles in their yard/kennels all the time; I've not seen a sign of any of them so far this year. I hope to fuck they didn't all get out and form a murdermutt pack roaming my mountain.
