This is truth. My pits would never in a million year hurt a human, a dog on the other side of the fence is a different story though. I had the exact same problem with my newer neighbors recently, it makes you angry when people neglect their animals and it makes others look bad. That being said, Id bet on a Malamute bitting a person before a pit. I dont see how you could possibly think a wolf dog doesnt have the ability to rip a human to shreds all the same as any other dog on the danger list.
Man! U betta fix da ma fuckin hole in da fence and get a shotgun.
Peace

I had a friend w/a malmute that hated me, wanted to bite/draw blood for sure. I own a pitbull, adopted from rescue league. Breed don't matter, it's how they're raised.
I'm leaving breed out of my previous opinion entirely, a vicious dog trying to break through a fence to get to other dogs or people is a threat to your constitutional right to freely enjoy your property and an even more realistic threat of bodily harm to anyone/any pets on your side of the fence if the dog gets through.
Numbers don't lie. Pit Bulls account for 32% of all dog related killings of human beings and over 50% of all attacks in the United States, yet Pit Bulls constitute only 2% of all dogs. 70% of those mauling deaths were of children.

So are pit owners the most irresponsible and worst dog owners on the planet? Is that your contention?
Talk to the people even if they do not care. You tried. Then go with city whatever to take these clowns on.
I was working on my mom's fence and a big aggressive pit sticks his head thru the hole in the fence and I know it is to bite me. I swing the hammer down aiming for his muzzle and I guessed grazed him. No more doggy and I finish.
A month or something later I hear 1 of the 3 pits over the fence was mauled to death by another. I know it was the one that tried for me that killed the other dog. Yeah the owner was an asshole.
I have seen cuddly pits and know they exist but the others scare me even if they are 2% of all of them. Rather not have them around me.

no my contention is made perfectly by the link provided.
any dog with ANY "bully" qualities is labeled a "pitbull" by those who report such things. most dog bites in fact are by mixed breed dogs who are the largest number of dogs on the planet. and yes a disproportionate number of knuckle head owners own pit types right now like they did rotts in the '80s-90's and dobies in the '70s.
how many guesses did you take on the quiz?
each one of those was a potential misidentification for statistics.
now lets look at the numbers in your link...
the source sited is the cdc
http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/images/dogbreeds-a.pdf
why is it that the pit is the only one that reads "pit-bull type"
what is "pit-pull type" is that akc?
you see the point?
people need something to blame. might as well be the most american of all breeds.
the one that was our mascot
dont let your fear help spread ignorance?
i realize this is your strongly held belief and no one concedes shit on the internet but this has real world consequences.
hundreds families in cities like miami and denver have had family pets who never showed a single sign of aggression to any other living thing ripped from their loving homes,held in quarantine for 14 days and destroyed like trash all because they looked like a "pit bull type"
children's pets for fucks sake. taken and fucking gassed to death without ever so much a baring a tooth to bite a flea!
this carnage is the result of the ignorance you spread here!
So all these dog attacks arent really from pit bulls, they just say they are because of some conspiracy against the breed. Gotcha.
And all the whacked out meth heads are attracted to them why? Don't know many breeds that could or would take a big chunk out of a fence, but I'm sure they think they're precious little doggy is the perfect little angel also. Never heard a pit owner say anything different than you are, especially after they just got done killing some kid.
You've certainly turned me around on the subject, such nice little doggies they are.....

I love dogs more than I care about most people, and while I'd never own a pit bull (they're not as smart as many other large protective breeds), they do get an enormous amount of shit that isn't always deserved.
Having said that, you have small children who play outside. If that dog breaks through your fence again, make sure it's the last thing he ever does, for your children's sake. Talk with the neighbors if you think it'll do some good, if not then talk to animal control or the cops so there is a record of your issues with the dog on file. I wouldn't take any more chances beyond getting it on record, as that'll be at least 3 times the neighbors would've ignored an obvious issue to your families' potential detriment. I hate the idea of hurting a dog, but I hate the idea of a child being attacked because of shitty owners not caring even more.

So because some "pit bull type"(whatever that means)dogs have done wrong they should all be killed?
What about innocent pets taken from families? You good with that?
Lets apply your sound thinking...
Black people make up a disproportionate population of the prison system to their demographic no?
So obviously every person who even looks remotely "black type" should be rounded up and put to death? No of corse not! That would be ignorant. You cant castigate an entire demographic based on the actions of a minority.
Im curious
How many guesses?
No conspiracy just wanton ignorance and stupidity.
Ever notice though when a rott attacks its a dog bite but when a pit attacks its a vicious pit bull?
Why is that?
Probably because it makes for good ratings.
Im thinking at least 4 maybe even 6 times you got it wrong?
So with absolutely no conspiracy needed you would have wrongly attributed ~ 5 dog bites(if you were a source for the study) like I said no conspiracy needed.
I hope one day you can get past your blind hatred. No little girl or boy deserves to see the police take their innocent pet away to be killed because it looked like a "pit bull type)but it has and will continue to happen because some people are stuck on stereotypes.

Calling the pigs is the lowest form of social interaction. A pig calling snitch is the worst neighbor in the world. Many of us here cultivate and consume schedule I narcotics and have developed an aversion to pigs.
Win the dogs over with dominance and bribes (liver treats or similar), as for neighbors they may be pieces of shit; but at least none of you have called the pigs.

Oh, please.
There's a difference between being a dope snitch & what we're talking about here. If you got in an auto accident with a drunken idiot, would you not call the cops? If you saw burglars breaking into a neighbors house? If some bonehead were beating the shit out of his wife in your front yard? (this actually happened to me) If you heard the woman next door screaming for help in the middle of the night?
I'm not much for cops, myself, but there are times that peaceful people need 'em. The problem with taking matters into your own hands is how far are you willing to escalate? The idiots living next to the OP are probably dumb enough to take it to the max, which is entirely enough reason to not start down that road at all. It's likely that they really don't want cops around any more than you do, so they'll do what they need to do to keep 'em away or suffer the consequences.
Oh, and dogs that have been trained or allowed to become vicious can't necessarily be "won over" by any means.

don't stop there. there are no bad dog owners. only bad dog owners parents.
if the people next door were raised right then they wouldn't be acting like this. so track down their parents or their parents parents or their parents parents parents

A trained dog is just that a trained dog.. I have a cha- wenier that alerts my big dog dogs of any odd happenings may it be neighborly domestic to a fucking rat on my fence.. She barks "if you don't like it live in the country " is what I told one renter... They moved few months later.. Then the others moved in that installed the chain fence with tow chain footings it's all about the owner knowing THEIR anamial.. Agreed talk first then take appoiate action. May it be civil or backyard juctice.. They will get the point.. It's apparent they don't give a fuck about their dogs actions and haven't tryed to fix the prob before some one gets hurt
Either take the advise and call AC or try the old school method and talk to them..

about the neighbours thing. they will not change. you're not going to convince them to keep the dogs inside from now on or to switch their dogs for some Chihuahuas or something.
I had a problem arise with my white trash piece of s*** neighbors. I tried to talk to them about it and they just threatened me and so forth. that definitely did not help me at all but maybe you're a much more likeable guy.
you might want to consider at first just calling and complaining to the cops about the noise violations and denying it if your neighbor asks you or brings it up.
perhaps if you killed the entire family in the middle of the night? you should probably consult your local laws first. you never know what might be considered illegal.

Breed aside (I actually can't stand small dogs moreso than big ones), I'd knock on the neighbors' door, welcome them to the neighborhood, then tell them their dog damaged your fence and you'd appreciate it if they kept better tabs on their pet. If it keeps up, call AC.
A friend of mine made a "dog extinguisher" (NO, IT DOESN'T "EXTINGUISH" DOGS, before you all freak out!)... he took an old fire extinguisher and modified it so it shoots plain water really far. It works really well on the yappy little bastards that live next door to him (their owners just let the little rats run all over the place, no fence, nothing...)

Anytime I have had shitty neighbors I made a plan and moved...I am not sure of your financial situation but if you can move, buy some land in the mountains!
Fuck talking to them, they will likely not give a rats ass what you have to say, and do not call any authority on them at all.
Put some osb on the fence till you can move.
Good luck, I love my pit, not getting into that discussion.

Just call the pigs, they'll be able to kill twice as many with only 40x as many bullets fired. Paid administrative leave may vary.
