Sometimes I wonder why I look at Craigslist.

I need some advise about a pit mastiff mix

Just another perfect example of a bleeding heart moron. The dog bit her neighbor's 6 year old son TWICE!! I'm guessing if it was her kid, that dog would be PTS instantly.

Ugh.

My boyfriend's sister called me last week. She wanted some advice for her friend. They have a 6 month old mastiff/pit bull mix, and he is tearing the house apart, so, they want to re-home him. I told her to tell them that they had better find someone who is extremely breed savvy when it comes to mastiffs, or as mean as it may sound, just put the dog to sleep, because that is much too much dog for most people. Heck, I told her it was much too much dog for me. People, like in the CL above, are the reason I told her what I did.

I'm emailing these idiots.

i will tell the bleeding heart to euthanize the dog now. but of course, she wants to save her precious "pibblepoo", and make excuses for him. UGH!!!!
no wonder why our breeds of choice is in the shitter and has gone straight to hell!! :'(

Here was my reply. I'm kind of hoping for a "boo hoo you're so evil and insensitive" reply.

"You want to know how you re-home your dog, when she has a bite history? You don't. You humanely euthanize her while she's happy in your arms. Give her a big steak, go on a long walk and car ride. Cuddle with her. Then put her to sleep.

This dog has bitten A CHILD. Twice. If it had been one of your children, she would be gone already. This is a dangerous dog. Aggression towards humans is unacceptable for ANY DOG.

The fact that you want to re-home her, rather than take responsibility for your unstable, aggressive dog is frightening. I can't believe you would cast off your responsibility onto someone else, just so they can be set up to get hurt, or have her go to a family where she will bite more people and children. I'm surprised your neighbor didn't call AC and have your dog taken away.

You clearly can't handle, control, or manage this dog. You can't do something as simple as crate and rotate your dogs (where you crate one dog, let the other roam the house for a few hours, then repeat) so your shepherd won't be attacked everyday. For some reason you are still letting them go out, and even be in the same room, unrestrained together.

Do what's kindest for the dog. Instead of sending her off to some strange home with strange new people, where she will wonder where her old family is, and why they got rid of her, put her to sleep. At least she'll die happy, with the people she loves.

Don't ever get a bully breed again."

Wow thats not good at all.
If they had only joined a forum like this and asked for help long ago the dog may have stood a chance.
Suprised the neighbors havent reported it,im shocked at that
Too little too late.

Instead they post an ad on freaking CRAIGSLIST asking people for advice. And Detroit CL is notoriously completely retarded. When they could google a pit bull or mastiff forum, and maybe get some decent information.

But sadly, people are lazy and have no interest in putting any real work into their dogs. Dogs are supposed to come from God perfect and well trained don'tcha know.

If that was my dog, she'd be buried out back with a 12 gauge slug in her head.

let us know what the bleeding heart PBT/mastiff owner said if she replies.

i bet its going to be "i love him, i will never put him to sleep. he's my baby. blah, blah, i want to save him. is there a place where i can send him to get some help"

I highly doubt that they'll reply. But I really hope they do. If they do reply, I'll tell them I can help their dog... with a shot gun, and a small disposal fee and that it will be quick and clean. I'll even give the dog some of the elk that's in my freezer.

[fudelholf]

lol sorry i was too angry, that i didn't see that the dog was a female.

They claim she's fixed, so it really doesn't matter.

[fudelholf]

ugh! i wish people would stop having bleeding hearts, thinking they can SAVE THEM ALL. and go and humanely euthanize. :'(

I don't get how a peaceful, quiet passing with loved ones is such a problem with people.

I guess that's why assisted suicide is so unpopular. Apparently death is something to be feared and avoided at all costs, even if it means kids get hurt because of your irresponsibility.

Once again, idiots.

I miss Doctor Kevorkian.

[Clesylafabada]

I am sorry but that dog needs to be PTS no question about it

[fudelholf]

if that idiot was my neighbor and her unstable PBT/mastiff mix bit my kids. that dog would of been shot right then and there. i'm sorry, but i had ENOUGH!!! :'(

[pageup85]

I'm sorry but without knowing further details, I disagree. For a dog to bite a stranger is not such a big deal. Many dogs are kept for this exact reason. The dog needs to be restrained in a manner that it can't attack innocent parties, but there is no way that a couple of bites from a guarding breed should be considered out of character. Thats what they were bred for. Its paramount to putting your pitbull down for chasing a cat or fighting with another dog. Find a home for the dog where it can be restrained from attacking people at random and the problem is sorted. It clearly wasn't a mauling which a decent dog of that nature could inflict so I suspect the incidents were nothing major, hence not reporting it.

[fudelholf]

this dog has BITTEN a CHILD (neighbor's) TWICE!! there is no excuse. strangers and what not. NO EXCUSES!!

[pageup85]

Every excuse in the world. As long as its not biting the hand that feed it and its family then thats what dogs do. Everyone is quick to jump on people who try to say pitbulls should be fine with other dogs and call them all manner of names, yet when another breed does what it has been developed to do for thousands of years they scream bloody murder. I'm sensing just the slightest hint of hypocrasy here.
Breeds that were developed to guard should not be chastised for attacking someone out of their pack. I don't know further details of it and the link doesn't work. The fact is the dog was doing what would be expected of it. NO BIG DEAL. Everyone needs to stop trying to dumb them all down to slobbering messes which are good for nothing. Some dogs still have it in them to work as they were intended and long may it stay that way.

[TyncTyncSah]

A mastiff mix with what I suspect is poor or no training and not enough socialization. This dog is the victim of an uneducated and lazy owner who probably thought nothing more than "ZOMG, what an adorable puppy!!!" with NO thought on how to deal with the dog. People need to knock it off with the HA is unacceptable with "the breed" when we're talking about MUTTS, and ones bred from dogs with protection instincts, no less. Just because there might be APBT somewhere in there does not mean they're automatically held up to that standard. As far as I'm aware, APBT isn't a dominant gene sequence.

I'm sorry, but biting the 6 year old neighbor boy TWICE is unacceptable to any and all breeds, including guardian breeds. If my Rottie bit a kid, he'd be pushing up daisies, there would be no second chance, the same goes for my APBT and my Saint Bernard. This dog was raised with children, it shouldn't be biting them.

The DA with the other dog is one thing, biting kids is another. The woman has 3 small children in her house. What makes you think that the dog wouldn't bite one of them if it's already snapping at the hands that feed it. It's just a matter of time.

These people clearly aren't smart enough to keep their dogs separated, let alone properly handle this dog. It has a bite history, and any rescue (any legit rescue, not one of the "every dog deserves a second chance" bleeding heart rescues) wouldn't take this dog, and will tell these people to humanely euthanize it.

Stupid people+ poorly handled guardian breed mix= danger to the family and general public.
