Yep. Can't love genetics away, you have to understand what you're getting and manage them accordingly. -- I got a Corso a year ago and knew I really had to level up if I wanted this breed. (which I certainly have) She's great and so easy to train. But if you don't understand that territory is Everything to this breed you're likely to have a disaster on your hands.

Here's the problem, zero mistake dog. Don't leave the door open, don't leave the window down on the car where it can jump out, keep focused when walking it on a leash, on and on. All people make mistakes and that's when others get killed.

@J P when im out with my dog I see most dog owners on their phones. No engagement with the dog whatsoever, and the dog is chasing and jumping at everything.

No such thing as pitbull type. Pitbull is a breed. Pitbull type dog means you have a mixed dog not a breed. Real pitbull are purebred with bloodlines and pedigree

@@maddogsenglishmen8020 there is absolutely a pit bull type, they’re literally called pit and bull breeds, they include American Staffies. For someone who claims to know so much about the subject, you are extremely confidently incorrect.

Believe I mentioned that about rescues.

If everyone in the family can manage the family dog every other human/ beast will be ok because the dog is managed responsibly all the time. I see families where one family member can handle the dog but everyone else can't and that leaves a big window of opportunity for something bad to happen when that one person is away. Also, sometimes the one who can handle the dog is in denial when the other members complain about not being able to control the dog on their own

@@DerMelissa 💯

People also need to absolutely stop making children responsible for dogs. It's ok to have them help, but if you bring a dog into your home, you as the adult need to be the primary care taker. I was at the park yesterday with my puppy. She's 12 weeks and we are working on socialization. The park was unusually busy and we were hanging back trying to keep her away from all the commotion allowing her to adjust and settle. But it became apparent we needed to leave. As I'm telling my son we have to go, some kid (Maybe 10?) Walks up with her pocket bully on a leash. But she let her dog get right in my dogs face. Fortunately Ivy stayed chill, but I could tell she wasn't happy about it. And she started to jump for him. I picked her up and walked away and told the kid to not let her dog approach anyone or any dog without permission. Had she not been a kid I'd have gone off. My dog is a Corso, had she been bigger her dog could have gotten hurt. I wad like where is your mother/father and why do they think its ok for a kid to walk a dog in a park full of kids. Bad idea

What they 'need' is not up to you and families will not follow what you say anyhow....

It's what they need

not all... just the bad ones!

@@RobertCabralDogs Jack Lees, a ten year old boy was slaughtered by a massive XL 'Bully' dog called ''Beast'' The little boy didn't stand a chance. {UK} Stubborn women have been killed by them as well, who say ''But I love him!''..Later to be mauled to death.

I have one of those! He's good now with me and other large dogs. When I got him he would have killed kids if placed into family no doubt.

Not all shelters are bad, not by a long shot. They take in the pets that have been abused, starved, neglected by some of the disgusting public. If it weren’t for the shelters, these dogs would have zero chance.

I second that which you so eloquently stated.

go take basic dog obedience classes... basic training is NOT taken by dog owners in most all cases. I have lived it for 25-30 years and took basic, intermediate and advanced classes as well as CGC certification for 3 of my dogs ... they are 'lower animals' ... not part of your family.

I've known this about dogs since I was 15 years old. That's why I don't own any dog breed and I never will especially the pitbull.

Thanks for sharing!

I have been training dogs since 1969. love your comment.

An American bully is not a pitbull

your daughter listened to you and not a pro trainer was big mistake #1.

@@maddogsenglishmen8020 ok, but I didn’t say that it was an American bully. The shelter said the dog was a pit bull; I think she was a good dog, just not one that my daughter could handle, especially being a first time dog owner. She now has two small dogs, which is better for someone like my daughter who doesn’t even have the patience to train them. And the bully breed dog is now with a wonderful young and energetic couple who take the dog everywhere and are obviously capable of handling her without any issues. Some people are just not a good fit with certain breeds. Thankfully everything worked out well, but I fault the shelter for pairing the pit bull with my daughter in the first place, because she went there wanting a small breed dog.

@@EclecticArtist62 shelters call everything a pitbull

@@DougHinVA my daughter wanted a small breed puppy to begin with, which is what she went to the shelter for in the first place, and she was a first time dog owner. The shelter pushed her to take the pit bull, which my daughter absolutely could not handle. That dog now has a fantastic home with a couple who’s not only able to handle her without issue, but are also able to provide her with a big home and lots of exercise; they take her everywhere and she’s a very happy dog. My daughter now has two small dogs, which she didn’t even have the patience to train. Also, I happen to know that my daughter is not a particularly active or athletic person and she has fibromyalgia; she’s absolutely not capable of handling a large muscular dog that decides to lunge. She also didn’t have the financial resources to hire a dog trainer. And quite frankly, if my daughter had listened to me, she’d have waited and done some homework before getting a dog, and would have made sure she had the finances to pay for training if she didn’t feel comfortable or capable of training a dog. The shelter was in the wrong for convincing my daughter to take the pit bull and for not warning her that the dog had a tendency to lunge, in spite of having worked with a trainer. Just like a good breeder tries to make sure that their puppies and potential dog owners are a good fit, shelters should do the same.

thank you for clarifying that. I had no idea. appreciate the clarification.

Correct, and in spite of all the warnings that get dismissed and get angry hateful comments in return.

If people became liable for their dogs actions you would see pitbull ownership decline to zero, people know these dogs are dangerous and kill people and peoples pets even if they don't admit it outloud and the statistics are undeniable. Everywhere pitbulls are banned dog bites and deaths are dramatically lower on a statistically large level.

@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 there was a pitbull attack on a child here in Ireland a few days ago the 20 year old owner is in custody of the guards.

@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 The problem is that breed specific legislation is treated merely as a "feel good law" and is circumvented by nonenforcement... especially when "animal control" is handed off to pit bull propagandist humane societies and SPCA's getting public contracts.

They weren't pitbulls... AT ALL.

@@ingnut996 what??? Yes they were you can see in the pictures

@@alechenry1502 i own apbt ambully and American bandogge made using johnson bulldog i know what a pitbull is have a good day...

A true APBT would make this situation 10x worse.

No these are not APBT but still carry the fighting genes and are incredibly dangerous

That's exactly how it should be ! When I was a kid, my grandfather had pitbulls and ALLLL I wanted to do was stay outside & play with them or bring them out for walks one at a time. My gram NEVER allowed me to go out in that yard alone. And anytime I was out there, my grandfather had a gun ready.. I never understood it when I was a kid. The dogs were completely friendly, loved me and "I" never even thought about one of them attacking me.. After growing up around so many different dogs though, I understand now.. no matter what, you never know what a dog may decide to do at any given time.. All I would have taken was one of those dogs being in a bad mood, maybe pissed off at another dog it couldn't get to & decide to grab me instead. Because it's going to release that energy/aggression SOMEHOW. For the record though, I've still never been attacked or bitten by ANY pitbulls !! I've had nothing but good experiences, aside from a few dog scraps here & there. But too many people have had horrible experiences with them because of lousy owner's..

Very well said!

100%

I so agree with ya, bro. I know my CC is very dangerous. Though she is perfect for my gf and me. I don't 4 a second think a stranger or others she is unfamiliar with are safe. 750 psi of bite force is extremely dangerous in itself. She can kill in seconds. Plus, she has been nonething but loyal and affectionate w/us. I still don't trust her completely, period.

Jus like when u take a pitbull or arm staff and mix it with a cane Corso or agressive mastiff u get a bandogge that will grow up to be deadly

Facts

Do you mean the dogs or the organizations?

and I personally don't understand the aesthetic...

The dogs look uncomfortable. Their pain level must be very high. They can't breathe. Is this not why they get fractious. Humans who have malformed bodies deformed snouts etc. Get grumpy. Breeding is the trouble.

Numbers don’t lie!! Why do pitbulls kill or maim so much more than other large, dangerous breeds? Because it’s what they were biologically selected to do. As I said in another comment, it’s not fair to the dogs. It’s like not letting a bird fly; it’s an innate, biological drive that WE created in them. And what outlet can we possibly give them to allow them to exhibit those behaviors in a safe way?? People need to face reality here. I’m sure there are responsible owners who would be capable of keeping well-bred pits, but those people and those dogs are few and far between. Something has got to give.

Wow a chow/pit mix 😮 That’s good you did training right away because they need it for sure lol.

Thank you for your service. When I was in the Air Force, I had a friend who was a dog handler. He told me there was a reason that pitbulls were not used. He also mentioned that their unpredictable nature made them too much of a liability. Like in this awful case😞

I’ve been sick over it as well. I literally lost sleep the night I heard of it. These dogs should be banned, unless with a permit. They do not belong with a family. It’s a heartbreaking tragedy that should not have been legally allowed. I’m so tired of children being mauled to death by this breed. But it’s not just children- it’s vulnerable adults as well. Men in their prime have been mauled to death while having a seizure multiple times in the past year. Older adults have been torn to shreds. Innocent bystanders die all the time. They shouldn’t be allowed.

@@coch2370 my best friends step-mother was mauled to death by one of these “sweet pibbles”. The dog had been in the family for a couple of years. They are too unpredictable and vicious in their attacks to be family pets!

@@Blakmagic88 I’m so sorry to hear :( Cant agree more.

Yeah, not like a shepherd has ever hurt anyone…Just goes to show you can have a career in a field and still be ignorant

a dog lover deosnt have sense. if they did, they would be against dogs.

That’s awful! Sometimes it’s heartbreaking when we are right.

Grew up with an Akita GSD Timber Wolf cross who everyone said would be aggressive and not good with kids. He definitely needed strong leadership but he was awesome with us kids and farm animals. Knowing what I know now? We got really lucky and I was also very lucky with my other two GSD crosses. I suppose my overconfidence in my connection with animals worked out but it very well could have worked out differently. So sad for people who get a dog who is too much dog for them. I still have a soft spot for Akita’s GSD and wolf crosses. Luckily they don’t breed wolves and dogs much anymore. Not fair to the animals to experiment like that.

My brother's children were raised with a male Akita. His youngest was three years old. I have seen her push and shove him out of her room. He would never hurt her. She was never left alone with him but they were raised together. I only met the dog as an adult and my brother left him with me all the time. My elderly mother lived with him and the dog never bothered him. My brother did not let him do whatever he wanted. He is strict with dogs. His Akita liked hanging out with the children. He would get excited when they came home from school. It is sad your family had that experience. Akita's require a firm hand.

Thank you for being responsible.

Correct me if I’m wrong but as soon as you select any non game trait such as dog aggression , you will lose the game trait. That’s way the best game APBT run tight lines and only select for game .

Putting down a game dog because it has dog aggression is like putting down a greyhound for running. Awful person you are.

@@maddogsenglishmen8020 yes i am awful as the man that got your mother pregnant. do grey hounds end up in the news for mauling someone to death?? there are no records of a grey hounds mauling a child to death. sail on you english pirate.

"game dog" means fighting dog, not hunting dog.

He's how I learned about my first Mal. He has so much wisdom!!

My Rescue Mals were reactive to other dogs. Positive training wasn't helping. Then I was injured in front of them.and they became reactive to people. 3 weeks with an Afghan war Vet dog trainer. They became the best behaved Dogs at Any of the Dog Park We visit. Why? E Collar and training me how to be the Boss.

Robert Cabral is a real dog expert and a very decent fellow.

@@menopassini9348 Training is the word to emphasize. Stop pretending.

@@DougHinVA Stop pretending what? That positive only training isn't a good idea? What about with children? If your kid bites people at school every day are you going to teach him to stop by using candy and giving zero discipline or punishment? lmao. Such a brain dead way to train anything. You positively reinforce good behavior and you negatively reinforce bad behavior. Common sense. It takes a tiny amount of negative reinforcement to train a dog. It's not as if you have to beat the dog or anything like that.

I agree. No dog should be left unsupervised with little kids, no matter what breed. I recently saw a video where they showed a toddler hitting the dog in the face to demonstrate how good their pitbull was with little ones. They are actually training the dog and kid for an attack.

@@damaristighe3227 I can tell you did not watch the video. The mother was right there when the pit bulls started killing the children. She tried with all her might to stop the mauling. STOP victim blaming ! HERE is the difference between a pit bull attack and other dog attacks. The average dog will stop when reprimanded. Pits are relentless once they choose their target. It’s not jaw strength. It’s about their relentless explosive attacks that don’t stop until they kill it or they are killed. It’s called gameness. It’s what Pits were bred to do. Get a book and read up so you can stop embarrassing yourself. Pit bulls do not lock their jaws, but due to their "gameness" trait, they rather die than to let go. This trait ensures success in the dog-fighting ring. They have a wide jaw structure (it appears they are smiling) and are able to breath/pant while hanging onto their victim's flesh; to ultimately wear down their opponents. The panting allows pit bulls not to overheat so their chances of "winning" during the fight increases. These pit bull breed traits supersede any other dog breeds' bite pressure. From a pro pit bull org! Two words to prove pit bull type-dogs are inherently dangerous: "BREAK STICK". Does this sound like a normal and safe dog breed to have live in our neighborhoods? Pit Bull Rescue Central recommends ALL pit bull owners to have a "break stick", a wedge-shaped piece of wood used to pry open a pit bull’s jaw during an attack. "Since pit bulls have a strong fighting background, we recommend that pet owners also have a breaking stick as a precaution." When you need a precautionary tool for your dog, it's not a safe family pet.

@@damaristighe3227 Yes, to begin with, they shouldn't let little kids bother the dogs despite the breed even the mothers get tired of taking care of the little kids now imagine an animal.

Let's start with getting your language correct. Under the law you are the OWNER of a dog and legally responsible as such. We are NOT pet parents and they are NOT fur babies. They are a dog, an animal with instincts & behaviors that need to be shaped,trained and controlled to live safely in conjunction with us.

@APBT The Best nice try. Notice you don't deny anything I said. Other than you didn't like my word choice. I grew up with these dogs. I've seen the ugly side of the breeds history. If people fully understood what a typical pitbull terrier mix is today. They wouldn't let them into their homes. Rescues are profiting off of these people by picking up animals at shelters for nothing, then selling them for profit. I really hope someone helps rehab the breed. I just don't buy the Rescue hype. Frankly, I think it's dangerous.

@APBT The Best yeah, that's unfortunate. That rhetoric isn't going to help your cause. You sound like a breeder. Hopefully, if you are, you are selecting stable temperament for breeding. There are a lot of good qualities in the breed. Honesty about the breeds history is required to save it. I believe it's possible to produce pit bull terriers that are reliable farm dogs and companions. I believe that can only be done by ethical breeders dedicated to the breed. Rescues are generally not helpful for the reputation of the breed.

@APBT The Best that's true. Those dogs with loose redirects on people or who showed outright human aggression were often culled in the old days.

And?

People need to stop pushing pitbulls as safe family pets.

That's your typical shitbull owner. They always blame the victims.

We had family members that had a similar experience with their 2nd or 3rd bull mastiff. Animal had a screw loose and they and the breeder agreed it was best to put her down.

@@Bullkthx I'm so sorry to hear that they've dealt with such grief. My sincerest condolences.

Thank you for acting responsibility.

I have a bullmastiff too, and it seems to be a common misconception on the Internet that bullmastiffs are big, soft, harmless dogs. They can be pretty serious dog's and they're extremely strong and stubborn . Respect for what you did, it can't have been an easy decision.

I have a question ⁉️ do you think that a malinois work for emotional support or other type support dog? There is no small children in house hold, nor small animals.

there is only the APBT working bulldog, no such thing as pitbulls types, can't call mix breeds & 6 other breeds pit bulls

@@joaquinR1stargate Gimme a break. Yes, there are pitbull types, all stemming back to blood-sports and common blood lines. And those pitbull types, that are EASILY identifiable, are responsible for almost 70% of all human deaths, which is why I find their apologists so irritating. The fact that those easily identifiable pitbull types kill so many people ain't a coincidence, and it wouldn't be the case if what you are saying was true. They are an easily identifiable dog with very, very similar temperaments and body structure. Breed dogs for blood-sports and what you'll end up generations down the road is an easily identifiable dog that is very, very disproportionately responsible for human (and dog) deaths ...

@@ScythianLynx shut your mouth, you know nothing! At the moment studying about the old time Hinks bull terrier that did well in Pakistan, your a fool, it's not my fault your intellectually challenge

Love that!

Why did a couple with 2 smLl children want two fighting dogs. Surely 2 soft dogs would've been best. I don't think dogs should be introduced into any family until both kids ate over 7 yrs old. A dog never exceeds human mental age of 7. I saw a totally stressed rescue mastiff with a woman with a baby. She'd put it on a nose torture device. I said. That dogs face is full of anxiety and pain. She said. Well now the baby was born I need it to not pull me. Poor dog. Baby and mama are now here. I was amazed a pregnant couple adopted a huge strong dog. Why. When baby arrives is dog really wanted. So sad. They're not accessories.

There lies the problem , dog should be at least 9wks and you should never get two at the same time, I tell you I know a couple in our area who have two massif x bull Arab… they are dog aggressive and they the owners can barely hold onto them. I walk my big dogs and I know one day I’ll run into them on a walk they will eventually let go of leash and I’ll have to defend myself and my dogs by any means necessary. I hate walking my dogs and coming up to dogs off leash running around coming at me- which has happened. People are weak and that’s why these aggressive dogs exist- only experienced owners should own these dogs , pitbulls are some of the few dogs where their triggers are very subtle which is why people don’t see the warning signs .

@Gr Ch Buck yeah thought it was suspicious them labelling them that. More often than not it’s the mixed bred ones/ backyard bred ones that cause problems. Anyone I’d think who had a true apbt would definitely know more and would go to reputable breeders, socialise them and take caution when necessary as all people with strong breeds do.

They didn’t get them together, one was 8 and the other 10.

Me too!

Thank you for this message and putting ethics and truth above ego and profit.

My trainer has made this very clear to me. I didn't like it at first, but I believe it absolutely now.

​@RobertCabralDogs Robert I don't mean to be mean, but please please learn the difference is between molloser and mastiff types. Pitbulls which are a breed and group of breeds and strains are mastiff terrier genetics. A cane corso is a molosser and mastiff genetics. The molosser dogs originate from Greece and are essentially giant athletic hounds. And in the modern day have essentially been fully crossed out to varying degrees to various mastiff breeds. The bully kutta is considered the purist form left. The dogs in question are pitbull types but from the same vain as hulk. Mastiff heavy with modern mastiff genetics. Either via reintroduction of the American bulldog types which are also a pitbull breed as they contain terrier genetics in small portions. Or via introducing various mastiff mutts usually acquired from sketchy bloodlines and breeders. Or from working dog for weight sled dog sports or similar sports lines which makes them too much dog for most owners. The real problem with pitbull types originates with the over popularity in America after ww2 and then really ramped up beginning with the Crack epidemic in the 80s. Look up freeway Ricky Ross. The flood of money Into the streets with many bad breeding practices done almost old world style lead to very bad bloodlines and animals which were often used as studs and dams by show breeders or unsuspecting or foolish owners and wannabe breeders. Unfortunately almost every bloodline is affect with that issue or over breeding or too limited if a genetic pool due to color coat breeding. The molosser though is a scent and sight based hybrid hound slowly bred for pure working nature into basically a mastiff look a like then crossed with old true working mastiff dogs. And the more molosser leaning types have generally been left as true working dogs into modern times. The corso and neo are part of another group. Cap de fila de sao miguel are another member also called the st miguel cattledog. Bully kutta. And some others also part of it. The oresa canario being the other more famous example. It's how those breeds have been bred as catch dogs that also serve multiple other purposes and why they have the unique growth and muscle development. Modern neo being kinda show breeder ruined. And the mastiff leaning strain of the ancient Roman mutts.
