Today, i had my dog playing in the back yard with the neighbors grey hound. Also present: a cockatoo and an english bull dog.

The greyhound owner brings the bird with her most places, and the bird nipped at the greyhound a few times and broke skin. Shortly thereafter, my pit was approached by the greyhound...

Her owner exclaimed: "Wait! She smells like blood!!!!!"

I replied, its ok, he's a pit, not a freakin' great white shark!

Can anybody top that stupid comment?

[mikaelluioy]

That about tops it! So, did your pup gulp down the bird??

[penpizdes]

Hahaha thats hilarious. I have had people tell me I shouldnt have my dog on a public trail because she is gonna eat a child.

I had capone in Saluda River a local pet store yesterday. All the employees there know and love my dog. I went in the back to look at cichlids and a lady picked up her 3 year old when she saw capone and I said "he's not mean" she said "i don't do pits". That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen or heard.

My pup was most well mannered, and refrained from eating the bird.

I also have had an encounter on a trail like that...we had our dog out at the begginning of a trail, when a man and his two kids pulled up. They all got out and the man took one look at my dog and told the kids to get back and the car, driving of like the dickens! Haha...more trail for me!

Another time, my girlfriends aunts boyfriend (that was a mouthful) was waiting for us in the driveway on our way home from the vet. When we got out he screamed "I'm gonna kill that fuckin' dog" We asked why, and he said "I know what pit bulls are really like, and he doesn't belong here"

I told him I would kill him if he touched my dog...and then my tiny little girlfriend chased him into his macho truck and he drove away. I didn't actually kill him...we called the cops and haven't seen him since.

I want to hear some other comments like these, there has to be tons of them...

My grandfather let us know that if our old bulldog bit, we wouldn't be able to get her off. Since "their jaws lock, even after they're dead the jaws are locked and you have to beak them open."

I hear the dumbest comments on here. Read through a few threads for a good chuckle.

I've had the opposite. In my area, I can't believe how many parents let their kids run up and hug my 4 when we're out walking. They look mellow and friendly and they are, but still! I wouldn't ever let a child run up to 4 strange dogs.

Also I was sitting in front of a thrift store holding her, 5'+ feet from the door waiting on someone, and when an approaching lady saw her, she flattened herself against the building wall, and shrieked. Scared the crap out of the dog. "He vicious! He vicious!"

I was just sitting there like "huh?"
She's a pup, and is stuck to my side.

The lady finally, with her husband's persuading inched her way inside, where she started screaming to the first employee I was threatening her with my 200lb pit bull. The employee came out, laughed, and asked if she could pet her.

The dumbest I've heard personally was growing up - my stepdad would tell anyone and everyone never to go near a "pit" because they had brains that kept growing inside their skulls and would all snap one day on whoever was with them at the time. If the moron ever decides to violate his protection order he will get a chance to meet my baby girl...the same kind of dog he's always spewed that crap about.

[RadcliffXX]

This is one of my favorites (and I've heard it more than once)...

Pit bulls WILL snap one day because due to poor breeding their brains will outgrow their skull at a certain point. When the pressure gets to be too much...WATCH OUT!

Here's a good one from my dad:

dad: The thing with pit bulls is they are unpredictable. You think they're your best friend and one day they just go off.

me: Dad, do you know ANYONE that has a pit bull that ever validated that thought?

dad: That's not the point. They're wild animals. It's in them and you can never get it out.

Apparently he was unaware of the hundreds of years of domestication that took place before these dogs even existed.

The funniest thing that happened to me once, was at PetCo, I was outside with Mollie and a man in a nice gray suit leaned over to pet her and asked her name... and I started out by telling him her name... blah, blah, blah.... then I told him "Yeah, people all think pit bulls are bad dogs, but most of the time, they have bad owners that are the problem". I could tell by his face he had no idea he was petting a "pit bull", but he didn't recoil, he just said, "well, she sure is a sweet dog"... I could tell he was mortified with himself for petting her, but he tried not to let it show, and maybe I did get through, albeit just a little.

I thought only pigs canabolized when they smelled blood lol. My dog Viho was sticking his head out of the truck window one day at a gas station n this real trashy looking guy walked around the back of his vehicle when he saw Viho he yelled "OH MY GOD" and backed away very slowly. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

My friend and I were both walking our pits together in the park when a lady and her daughter came up to us because her daughter wanted to pet the doggies. We were talking and she asked if they were twins (they are both red nose female pit bulls about the same size, they do look exactly alike). We said no they are just the same breed so they look very similar. She was surprised to hear that they weren't related so then she decided to ask what kind of dog they were. All the while the little girl is hugging and petting on them and getting a lot of kisses. We told her that they were American Pit Bull Terriers (since somehow that softens the blow a little more than just saying pitbull...) and her face just went white and she grabbed her daughter, got back in her van and left. Laila and Cinnamon were sad to see their new friend leave lol

That's what they used to say about Dobermans back in the day.

[RadcliffXX]

Very true...the fact that saying APBT is less intimidating than just saying pit bull goes to show how ignorant the breed's detractors are.

When I first brought my guy home, i told my dad he was an amstaff. After two days of playing with him and telling me how great the dog was, I called him a pit bull. As soon as he heard pit bull, he FREAKED!

when i was a kid the Dobermans were the dog with the swelling brain. funny how this horrible trait has been passed on to the APBT

I work at a retirement home and bring one to work every day. I haD tank with me (he is a favorite of the old ladies because he is mellow and affectionate) he has been going to work since 9 weeks old. One of the ladies was hugging him (he is now 19 months) and her 40ish daughter walked up and started SCREMING "he's a pit bull, he is going to bite your face off!!!"
The 80 year old retired woman looked up at her daughter and told her what a moron she was, and that she has been hugging him every day since he was a pup.
I didn't have the heart to tell the daughter that he's actually a cur, he weighs 85 lbs and has a dewlap like a mastiff...

The dumbest comment and most dangerous comment has to be, "It's how you raise them, so, you can trust them alone with other dogs and animals."

I hear the dumbest comments on here. Read through a few threads for a good chuckle.

i agree
