Woman mauled to death by...

[Ruffdaddy]

I don't smoke. She just naturally doesn't use her nose. It is all about sight for her. I can play fetch in the house with her and she will run and get it all day. But, if I trick her and hide the toy as if I threw it, she never finds it.

She chases anything smaller than her, she runs from anything bigger. She runs from most dogs.

It could also be because what ever you hid has a common smell all over the house. My lab has a great sense of smell, but when I hide from her in the house she has trouble finding me because everything smells like me. But she can track down damn near anything outside.

Been to a dog park? I take mine out to White Rock dog park just for the lake they love to swim. I've had a dog similar to that, she was a Finnish Spitz and her eyes never got fooled, always on the prize, but if you hide something she'd never find it.

I have been to the park you are talking about, I think. Off of Mockingbird and Buckner.

She also doesn't smell other dogs butts. She goes straight to their face. She is an idiot.

Lmao! Well do you smoke? That can tend to destroy a dogs senses I've heard before.

I'm sure if a squirrel was running around on the ground your dog would try and catch it at least!

Dumbass dog can't smell for shit.

some of the most aggressive dogs I've come across were labs... not sure what breed your dog is.

difference is, ghetto folk aren't in a race to breed the biggest baddest labs possible... they're too busy breeding pit bulls

I own a Texas blue Lacy.... Strictly bred for serious hunters and ranchers.

She is a hybrid breed of Grey Wolf, Grey Hound and either English Shepard or Coyote.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Lacy <-- Way more aggressive then the pitbulls I've come across.



Edit: Hands down the most aggressive dogs I've ever come across are god damn Chows & Bull Terriers.

Hunt by sight.

My dog is bred to trap coyotes, wild hogs & Bob cats. Tree up anything it can find and head cattle. In my own opinion a whole lot more aggressive then my neighbors pitbull or a lot of others I've seen. The one thing my dog doesn't have is lock jaw or it would be on! Guess what I'm trying to say is it all depends on how the dog was bred. Heck my dog is very territorial and if one of my other dogs even looks my way she'll be all over them making them stare at a wall just because she believes I'm all hers.

What was an italian greyhound breed for? Taking shits in their kennel?

What you fail to acknowledge is the fact that pit bulls were bred to be very NON-people aggressive.

were... how are they bred now? seems like a lot of people breed them for pure aggressiveness or merely pure muscle size.

It's the modern thug that has turned some of them into people-aggressive animals.

exactly! that's how they ARE being bred now! I see that you agree with me

Great Danes were bred to hunt and kill wild boar.

were... over the 18th and 19th centuries the focus was on temperament and kindness...

They bred the biggest, toughest, meanest specimens they could. So much for your comparison.

I thought you agreed with me?

Hell, a TON of dogs were bred for purposes that they aren't used for today, many of those were violent purposes. It has very little, if anything, to do with the dogs we now call pets.

If anything, it's the pit bull's loyalty and eagerness to please it's owner that allows them to be misused so successfully by the lowlifes in today's society. And yes, some of those dogs are bred to make even worse dogs. It's a shame, but it can be corrected, and it's not the origin of the breed that you shoudl blame.

By the way, they don't have locking jaws.

I didn't say they had locking jaws, but they can certainly clamp down pretty tight... often times people say "lock down" to mean clamp down tightly. I watched an owner at the park try to pry his dog's mouth open to release the boxer it was "locked down on"... to no avail... only succeeded in cutting up his hands. he finally had to choke him to the point that the dog started to pass out before he could get the dog to release its grip.

I've never seen that problem with a poodle, german shepherd, aussie, great dane, or countless other breeds.

if that pit had been locked onto my dog, I could have cut its fucking throat right there. I even offered to do it for the guy, but he was too busy choking out his bad ass dog to listen. The girl who owned the boxer was too busy freaking out to do anything.

What you fail to acknowledge is the fact that pit bulls were bred to be very NON-people aggressive. It was extremely important to have dogs that would be gentle towards humans, easily controlled, and that would not accidently turn on their owners even in the heat of a battle with other animals. They needed dogs that could be attacking a bull, get thrown in the air, and have the owners catch them in mid-air without getting bit, and send them back into the fight. Dogs that showed any aggression towards humans were put down. It's the modern thug that has turned some of them into people-aggressive animals.

No way in hell could I catch your dog Jared if it was flung in the air and coming at me.

Keep in mind that the prime specimins of the breed back in those times were typically less than 50 lbs. Heck, even now, they are usually around that size, and the ones used for dog fights are often 30-40 lbs.

My dogs are fat and happy like me!

I'm saying it's nature and nurture... I'm saying you can't train genetics... if a dog was bred for hundreds/thousands of generations to fight and kill, you're not going to just train it out of it...

great danes have been bred for well over 100yrs for good temperament and friendliness...

my aussie was bred for herding... his bloodline has about 20 generations of breeding purely for temperament... he's a "family" line, not a working line. BUT, he still tries to herd constantly!! LOL you can't just train that out of him...

the difference is, if my dog "snaps" and goes aggressive, he's just going to nip... he has no jaw strength.

if a pit bull snaps, it's going to do some damage... seen it first hand a number of times with dogs who "have never done anything like that!"

to think it's 100% nurture is just flat out ignorant... as fucking dumb as that dumbass who thought he could go to Alaska and live with the bears
