anyone who thinks they can take on an 80 plus pound dog with out a weapon is smokin crack.
but I've just never understood how 75-pound German Shepard police dogs seem to routinely take down 200-pound guys.
some people say that about guns and some gun people say that about "assault guns" I don't believe that the breed is bad. They were designed for a certain purpose (hunting not fighting) if they are not allowed to fulfill that pupose the go stir crazy. I grew up with hog hunters and have known alot of pits and have owned 13. The breed is not bad they just have to be respected.worthless breed. I hate those things.
According to this story we're not very good at itOne big advantage that humans have over dogs, predator versus predator-wise, is that at least we don't have to fight with our faces!
This is a reason why I have always found it hard to trust a dog, totally. Maybe one or two less than pleasant experiences when I was young started me on this route.he's latched to his face... there is not really anything you can do then.
Very true.As a very experience 6' 220lb animal attack victim ( 23 times to date) I can tell you that any body who thinks he can escape a determined dog attack unscathed is very naive or has never seen an attack up close and personal.
I think if you check they would be Pit mixes 90% of the time, which would negate the inbred theory which I've heard about German Shepards for years. And the majority would be Pit Lab mixes. And almost all cases will involve abuse or neglect such as chaining or confining in small spaces. And most will also be animals under 2 years old.the breeds involved were either Pit Bulls
Cute little sucker, hard to belive they do get upwards of 250 lbs!
The record for largest dog in the Guiness Book of World records was something like 330 pounds (and was an Old English Mastiff). Imagine the pooper scooper needed to pick up after him, must be the size of a large shovel!
That is because "you think". Those who have actually knowledge will tell you that a person has a very poor chance against a large determined dog. (reguardless of the one post of someone defeating a dog with a "kick". If a dog is aggressivly closing in at full speed a kick will usually miss as dogs are very fast. I was trained NOT to kick for that reason.) In fact, if it's a trained attack dog a black belt has a slim chance against a large trained aggresive attack dog.I think any reasonably fit man could take on any single dog
