They are bred to be mean and bite extremely hard. They lock jaws also. They seem like they attack over tiny things. My dog would take a ton to attack someone or another dog. Most pitbulls with responsible owners are good but they seem like they have so much potential to be killing machines.

So I bought some recees peanut butter cups for Halloween, and I left them unattended and my dog ate the entire bag! I'm worried he'll get sick from the peanut butter, help???

I really like this dog at my shelter and want to adopt him. My dad finally agreed but hes being really specific about the dog. He said no dalmatians because they have health problems. I showed him the dog (Ranger) and he said he looks like a dalmatian, but I don't think so.. besides the ears. Appearance: Ranger is rather tall, I think a LITTLE bit above average. Not quite Great Dane height, maybe closer to Grey hound Height but still shorter. He is mostly white, with black spots on his ears and face, with tan German Shepard-like eyebrows. The rest of his body is white if i remember correctly, with maybe a few VERY LARGE black spots. He sheds a decent amount, but I don't think he is double coated as his hair is a little coarse. He has erect ears and a thin, long face. Hes very skinny right now, I don't know why he isn't eating I really hope I can take him home :( he is a good dog but he just needs some tender love and care. Personality: Ranger is a very good dog. He is scared of water, as we tried to give him a bath because his kennel was dirty, but he wouldn't go near it. He is very protective of kids. I think he is a nervous dog, and very sad. He was in the back of the kennel when we came and he wouldn't come forward. He didn't try to run when we opened the kennel and is great on a leash. No behavioral issues apparent. Heres a picture: http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=MR... It says German Shepard but I don't think that is true... what do you think?

What's your favourite dog breed and what is it you like about it?

Little dogs can be annoying but adorable (like the one in the video) but big dogs seem to be more usefull like for hunting, work or protection? What say you?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27E_Twkz...

Best answer: It isn't a 100%, always, thing. And it isn't always irresponsible so much as ignorant.

At least 70% of temperament is genetic, enough so that the dogs on the ends of the stable-unstable spectrum cannot be changed by any form of handling, training, or management. There are bomb-proof dogs out there that NO ONE could make unstable. There are nervous wrecks out there that NO ONE could make safe. It is only the middle dogs that owners really make a difference for.

Even then, again, it's 70% genetic! I think that the largest part of the correlation is that part of being a responsible owner is knowing your dog's limits and even putting them down if it becomes necessary. An irresponsible owner will take a fearful dog out over it's depth and the dog will break or bite, the same dog with the same level of instability will not be put in that situation by a responsible owner.

So one minute I had my leg and then my dog just bit it clean off out of nowhere lol! Now it's gone, why did he do that?

ok so i have an 8 month old GSD and he usually is home by himself outside we have a huge yard about 1 acre and we have the whole yard fenced up but he escapes through these bushes that we have.. we never tied him up once.. i hit him once telling him not to go outside .. but he still does.. so should i tie him up.. or what? because my dog escapes an when i tell him to come he dosnt want to.. ppl have told me that he can ecape the house and never come back.. is taht true.. please help :)

Best answer: Probably not as a pup but by 6 months mine was left for 8 hours a day, however someone did walk him during the day. But proably yes, but if u could get a dog walker to let him/her out for a pee if their in and break up there day.

I have 2 miniature schnouzers a male and a female. Lately ive seen my female dog lay down differently like on her side and i saw both my dogs mating but im curious cuz my male dog only has 1 testical. Does that mean my dog is having kids? If it does will it die giving birth? Im scared cuz i love my dogs so much and dont want my female to die if it has babys.

Best answer: No. It's a good way to make them vicious, get your mutt taken away from you and HOPEFULLY your tail thrown UNDER the jail. Don't ask any other dumb @$$ questions and re-home her because your father is an abusive b@st@rd and should never have any animals.

My dog has not eaten in days, she's been having diarrhea for two or so days and she is not drinking water. She would pee and poop everywhere and in the morning I would find a yard filled with diarrhea and pee. I thought she ate something bad but last night she started pooping out blood. This morning I tried to feed her directly but she wouldn't eat, I've tried opening her mouth and putting it in her mouth but she spat it out. She's also been vomiting, if she drank water she would vomit it all out, if she ate something no matter what it is she would vomit as well. The vomit is yellowy, no there is no chunks in it because she hasn't eaten in nearly 2 days and having diarrhea. She is 2 and a half months old. About 4 days ago she was very energetic, as soon as we put something down she would jump and bite it, and she would run around like crazy and even at night I could barely sleep from the barking but 2 days later she stopped being energetic and sleeps all day, she won't eat and has all these problems. Can someone help me? There is no vets around this town, only a clinic for humans.
