I know a couple guys who hunt coyotes with grey hounds. One of them has an Irish wolf hound for a kill dog. He says he is careful around the kill dog.
I saw my fiends border collie's {X2}25lbs and a mutt that was about 15 lbs, tear apart a raccoon one night that was abut the size of the big dogs. They were pretty efficient at killing stuff. Just like the grey hounds and the wolf hound. Two of them caught it and the third one came in and killed it. The same one always made the kill.
that would have been classic if you said "and he'll never do it again" boom!
Young dogs go in and fight. Older dogs go in and kill, no bullshit, kill. Like anything we do, experience means something.
It was the mother of the other two that always did the killing.
When we ran hounds it was remarkable to see a goofy 4-5 month pup that was the slowest one to develop go berserk when a 'coon was jumped out of a tree and hundreds of years of breeding all of a sudden kicked in. One big, long eared black and tan Gossett pup comes to mind. They were born killers.
I've put a few bullets into a few pit bulls.
That about sums up my feelings on the subject.
There would be no remorse or hesitation in my doing so again, and I like dogs.

Exactly.
I know about their instinct. Most, well some people do, and most should.Brandy looks like a sweetheart. I think we should all keep in mind the canine instinct. Sometimes that instinct to kill the weak, or to protect the pack overwhelms what is taught, especially if the dog is male, or there is more than one dog in the group. I don't think any animal should be left alone with small children. That being said, I had a boxer that tolerated toddler nieces and nephews pulling his ears and nub tail and sticking their fingers up his butt.
What most people don't realize is that when I say dogs are like people, and that behavior is learned... people... have that same killer instinct. Hell, probably more so. They kill for personal desire, glory, and ambition.
We need to be taught not to go around taking each other out. WE must be taught how to behave in public.
"No, don't do that."
Unfortunately, it's that part of the process called "civilization" that we seem to be currently doing away with bit by bit thanks to a certain faction within who thinks they will benefit from it.
Me... (and others like me) have the instinct to "protect the pack" from those kind of people. We've learned to be civilized, but I fear that one day, they're gonna push things too far... and get bit.
I didnt feel like reading through the whole thread but someone was asking about statistics. Here ya go.
According to DogsBite.org, a national dog bite victims group, between 2005 and 2020, canines killed 568 Americans. Also, 67% of those deaths were caused by pit bulls, the group found.

A quick search looks like they are less than 6% of dog population in United States also.
I was at a vet clinic awhile back picking up our cat and a young lady wearing shorts brought in a big pit bull on a leash and sat down. Someone else came in with a dog and immediately the pit jumped up and went into a rage with a booming bark that echoed in the waiting room. The person behind the counter asked the pits owner "Did he bite you?" and the girl said yes. I looked over and there was blood streaming down her leg.
We were at the Texas coast and there was a guy playing in the surf with two dogs, a Shepherd mix and some big headed, gargoyle looking pit. The Shepherd was doing normal dog stuff, playing in the waves while the pit was focused at lunging at the owner with a big grin on it's face. Same thing, someone asked "Did he bite you?" and the owner said yes as he walked out of the waves with blood streaming down his leg.
It's the owners fault for putting up with that.
Whole lotta piss poor dog owners in the world. I would say at least 75% or more have zero clue on how to raise a dog.
