Pit Bulls

[TheSanityAnnex]

labs are the most owned dog in the u.s. according to the news last night. it was based on registered dogs with akc.

So you just happened to turn on the news last night and they were discussing which was the most owned dog? How ing convenient for you!

Show me some proof. As for what I found, and this seems to be as recent as '05, Pit Bulls are the most owned dog, and that is only counting registered Pits. Many people fear registering their Pit Bulls for fear of not being insured because of breed specific laws. So go ahead and add another 500,000 Pits to that already large number. Then, take the amount of bites per breed, and divide that by the total number in each breed, and let me know why dog actually bites more often. My guess is that the Lab and Pit will be equal, with the German Shepard actually on top.

just wait til she turns!!!

Do you just skip over ever ing fact I post?

American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS) breed statistics as of December 2005 show an 83.5% passing rate for the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier, as compared to an 81.2% average pass rate for all dog breeds. Guess what that means? :gasp: Out of every dog in the country, the Pit Bull has the best temperament.

You lose.

Pit bulls have the best temperament of all dogs?





Can anyone post ONE article about a fluffy Golden Retriever or Playful Yellow Labrador mauling a mans arm off?

who gives a ??? just because your dog proved herself once, doens't mean she will never turn. ALL the stories we hear of pitts attacking sound like, "...the dog was so nice, it never hurt anyone or anything, etc..."

it's like saying no one will ever be a drunk driver bc they have a drivers license..

Well considering American Pit Bull Terriers are registered by the UKC, what ing good does your list do us?

I want a pit bull just so I can name her Sarge and I'd train her to play with kittens.

It is quite obvious you don't understand the rigorous testing these dogs must go through to pass. Again, another uninformed person spouting off at the mouth.

Quite the hasty generalization there no?

it's like saying no one will ever be a drunk driver bc they have a drivers license..

ssssstttttrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeetttccccccccccchhhhh hhhhhh

You should do that.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Wait a second, I'm the dumbass because you posted some AKC registered list?

well, once again, thanks for proving to us that pitt owners are dumbasses... according to the UKC, pitts arent' even the most UKC registered dog..

I'm pretty sure I put a disclaimer in there before I posted my numbers. Oh yeah, right here, and I even mentioned it was only as recent as '05.

As for what I found, and this seems to be as recent as '05,

So Pits dropped one spot in two years and that makes me a dumbass? At least I posted a list that included them............dumbass.

so, then you purposely gave us OLD INFO to make your point look better? all you had to do was go to the UKC site.. even their 2005 numbers prove YOU WRONG. nice try pitt breeder.

With that said, the United Kennel Club is pleased to announce its list of top dog breeds for 2005. This list, based on UKC registration figures, reflects the Performance Dog philosophy that is the backbone of United Kennel Club. Truly – “Our Dogs Do Stuff!”

Rank Breed
1 Treeing Walker Coonhound (Scenthound Group)

I specifically said, at this moment, this is all I can find. Add on the 500,000 unregistered Pit Bulls and I'm back on top. Again, the Pit Bull is the most owned dog by families in this country.

[katyon6th]
