yeaa labs lol i like their goofy attitudes, ever see a pit/lab mix they're awesome!
What makes them and any large powerful dog potentially dangerous is their size and power like most things in life it's a case of the minority giving the majority a bad name I would love a pit bull as I just like the look of them not as much as a bull terrier unfortunately they are banned in ukase I wouldnt risk getting one to have it taken however I would never fully trust it around kids n dogs no matter how well it would be socialised. I have seen a pit bull grow up never say boo to a goose and one day lunge for its owner sat watching tv too unpredictable it was a proper apbt had an experienced owner and no provocation its too easy o blame owners or poor breeding than accept that the breed itself is capable of just flipping and attacking anyone or anything out of the blue . I know that I'm going to get shot down but a ban is not needed but a specific licence to own these dogs or any deemed dangerous that would see prospective owners fully screened as not enough is done to make sure that they don't fall into the wrong hands. That would be. Good start along with people willing to snitch on people that are using their dog to fight. As I have said I would have one I don't think hey are dangerous as people say however they are not as safe as people say also.

So basically you support BSL? APBTs don't just turn on their owners. I'm sure there are stories of it happening but 9 times out of 10, there are signs. There are behavioral cues that are missed or ignored by their owners and the people around them. If the dog actually does just "flip" out of the blue then that is one dog that was not wired correctly. Some dogs are just bad, regardless of breed.
You have brought up some extremely ignorant points and I hope you stick around to learn a thing or 2 rather than spread the biased BS you've been fed over the years.
No dogs just turn out of the blue there are ALWAYS signs, it's whether or not people choose to listen to those signs/know how to spot the signs.Some dogs just aren't wired right, and it's nobody's fault, and that dog should be pts. But that isn't because of a breed.Ha your name and response are apt.
I have been around bull terriers and staffs all my life and am certainly not in agreement that they are dangerous and vicious as I have stated its the minority that are giving the majority a ban reputation I am also in agreement that most times it's down to the owner or sometimes in their poor breeding. However that is not always the case as you admit yourself it must have been a bad dog but never shown signs of it for years which was strange. My friend had owned pit bulls for over 20 years all from good lines that didn't have a history of ha. So very unlikely it was down to the owner or breeding.
I am certainly not in agreement in banning any type of dog pit bull or any other I am against them being put down just for being a pit bull I am also against the being handed out to people who are not appropriate owners for that type of dog or people who wantone just for the sake of owning a pit bull. I believe that any dog that has the capability of seriously hurting killing a child or adult is a dangerous dog or has the potential to do so should require a license that screens the prospective owner and also the dog and its parentage if there was any history of ha You know doing the utmost to ensure there is as much done to ensure the safety of the owner dog and breeds future
Maybe your blind defence is part of the problem and your response certainly is as ignorant as you believe mine to have been?

I'm sorry but we've lived with large dogs, and powerful breeds for hundreds of years, i see no reason why we should hand over the rights to owning such dogs to out government, doing so is saying that it is the breed and not irresponsible owners/breeders. No one needs a license to own a dog, the gov. is already too much of a nanny state.
