That is the problem. This is a potentially aggressive, complicated breed. IMHO, not many owners are qualified to own these dogs. Until there is legislation limiting ownership, this will continue to happen. For now, those particular pitts will no longer hurt anyone..animal or human.

But it does make me wonder what happened - what signals were missed - what the dogs were like (their energy levels, etc) and wonder if perhaps the owners "doting" on the dog was part of the problem?

All of the instances I or my friends have been involved in the owners were the "responsible" ones. The ones that thought the sun rose and set in this gentle giant. The ones that insisted their dog was different and would never hurt an animal or human..they have been raised different. Well guess what..their so called gentle giant killed just as quickly as any other pitt. > > > > >________________________________ > From: stewartgang <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 5:11 PM >Subject: [Chihuahuas] Dogs that fall into hands of BAD people > > > >How unfortunate for our four legged fur friends.

It is what they experience through their lives that develop their character as adult dogs. I believe that there is a lot to be said about both animals and children on how they are raised and the outcome. >I really don't think that there are bad dogs, but I sure do believe there are alot of bad people.
