>it's another pibbles are le evil episodeWe get it. You're a woman or beta male who can't handle a dog. No need to constantly cry about it like a fucking pussy. Go buy a little dog that can fit in your purse or fanny pack and shut the fuck up.
>>5041360Women and weak men are the ones buying and breeding shitbulls though because they want a scary nigger dog. When they can't take care of them anymore they just get thrown in the shelter.This entire breed needs to be targeted and destroyed with prejudice.A final solution to the pibbles question so to speak.
>>5041362>BAWWWWWWW GUISE LE DOG BARK IS LE SCAWY WAHHHHHHHHHHH THEY ALL NEED TO DIE CUZ IM A WEAK KEK. THEY POSE AN EXISTENTIAL RISK TO MY VERY EXISTENCE REEEEEEEE!I wish I had a pitbull so I could throw your faggot ass in a room full of them. Simpering little fucking wimp. You being a cowardly bitch doesn't mean a whole dog breed has to die. Maybe your pussy ass should be dead instead if a dog poses that big a risk that you go to these extreme lengths to kill it.

>>5041359You should always look at shelters first to see if there's something good worth savingBut again if it's all shit dogs don't feel obligated to get one you'll regret later.
If you buy from a good breeder it's worth it in the long run, the dogs are less likely to have health complications so the money you spend on the original cost will be money you save on vet bills. Also you can meet the parents and see if they have the kind of temperament you want in your dog, especially if they are breeds known for certain behaviors.

>>5041360Pitbulls are little dogs and I hate them because they're, may god forgive me for uttering this word, t*rriers
Capital I ME, the man here, do not fear pitbulls, nor would I have problems controlling one. They are the dumbest ugliest shits, barely a dog, bred so you’d never feel bad about beating them into submission. I fear the liberal woman shrieking and the litigation that will follow when I have to shoot one in defense of my objectively superior dog that was not selectively bred for felony animal cruelty. And I fear most of all damaging my poor dogs hearing in the process of putting your worthless sub-canine vermin down. I pray to god that silencers will be legal soon. Total pitbull death.
>>5041359If you want to go on adventures, owning a pet will hold you back considering the extra cost of transporting your pet by plane or finding foreign hotels that accept pets
>>5041359>Believe the "Adopt, don't shop"These are usually the same retards that would tell you to remove important endocrine organs from your dog before it's even started puberty (plethora of health issues aside, you end up with a malformed, lower intelligence, neurotic mess of a dog)The idea of giving some poor mutt a chance at life is actually admirable enough, but unless you're an experienced dog owner, you're probably not going to be able to handle the problems that even a well bred dog that got sheltered and wasn't abused may well have accrued from basically being in prison for years. A fresh slate mentally stable puppy is a lot of work, a dog with, best case, some potentially strange behaviours that it's picked up is a lot more.So a well bred dog from a reputable breeder is the "best" choice, unless you really know what you're doing or are willing to potentially put in a lot of work. Honestly even a shelter APBT is a viable option if you're a single, fit man and you accept that you have a working dog who likely has a modulated prey drive for other dogsThe shelters themselves are at a huge fault too though for marketing "Cupcake" to retarded soccer moms that hopped on the bandwagon to be trendy and think they can snuggle the drive out of a dog (and irresponsible retards that simply mix pits with whatever dog or just let them roam free - ironically they were a safer dog when they were well and truly fighting dogs (owned by ypipo and "dogmen"), as distasteful as the practice is to me, because of the much tighter controlled breeding - human aggressive dogs would often have "collateral culls"; i.e. that dogs siblings would be killed too or never bred just to be safe)
>>5041514fucking based...
>>5041359Who would want to be judged worthy to own a dog?>animal shelter>application processFuck that!Just get one from craigslist.
>>5041780Bingo. The idea that I would need to “prove myself worthy” to the self important bozos down at the shelter is so absurd to me I can’t even entertain the possibility of ever adopting a dog
>>5041359You could tell us what shelters those were so we can check it out OP? No one here is going to dox you, you're very irrelevant anyway
>>5041359>adopt don't shopYour country doesn't have shelter dog crisis, it has pitbull and related bloodsport breeds crisis. Worst thing you can do is going to "no-kill" shelter.
>>5041360
It just pisses me the fuck off that my options are either driving 8 hours to another metro area where the balance of other breeds is tilted back towards terriers and chihuahuas, or paying $3k at a breeder to get a dog that’s not a complete piece of shitI just want a dog I can play with and train and walk with and do dumb shit like put it in a shoulder sling so it can watch what I’m doing>>5041416>>5041518Life long behavioral and health issues stemming from shelter experiences is something I’ve always suspected but I haven’t been able to find details. I always knew “mutts are healthier!” was just a cope >>5041780>>5041841That’s what really pissed me off. Not only were the dogs complete dumpster unsocialized mutts, the application process at the shelters in my city became notorious for rejecting people for retarded reasons. A coworker of mine ran got denied because the dog was going to primarily live outside in all but the most extreme weather, and he ended up at a breeder>>5041872It’s BAD in my city which is in the central US. A no-kill shelter got the contract to run animal control in 2020, and immediately abdicated all duties related to capture and neutering sheltered dogs. You could call them that there was an aggressive uncut male dog running around snapping at people or an abused animal chained in a yard and they would completely ignore you until it got posted to social media and they were forced to do something. There was an expose that basically outed them as a pit bull advocacy group (they were responsible for getting the bull ban in the city overturned in 2019) which sounds so absurd to type out but I swear it’s trueIn the 5 years they had full control of animal services in the city, shelters went from being a diverse mix of all kinds of breeds to being nearly 100% bull mixesIt took them getting their asses sued off because someone got mauled to death by a pack of pit bulls in 2024 for the city to yank the contract from them.
>>5041885Funny you mentioned "mutts are healthier" because that's not necessarily even the case genetically/physiologically in practice.Eventually if you let every breed out in the wild and created a "natural" supermutt that would probably be the case. However the "inbreeding"/genetic health issues are often at this point "fixed" into a given breed, so breeding two or three of those together often just ends up with a dog with ALL the issues present (and even on behaviour you end up with some weird drives sometimes). It's a bit like saying well piss and shit are bad so if I mix them together I'll average out some of the issues but instead you just get a soup of pissy shit.What could create healthier dogs is, not intentionally breeding some weird features to make showring freaks for a start, but also the SELECTED outcrossing to perhaps "similar" healthy dogs of a different breed. It was relatively successfully done with the English bulldog (yes technically you get the "linux distro problem" of just creating a new breed) by outcrossing, in a careful manner, some APBT and American Bulldog (about 5-8% something like that of each - probably a little more AmBull) to create a much healthier dog that's still pretty much the English Bulldog in look and "character" but it can go on jog. Obviously just randomly popping in some actual game pitbull to the genetics of a dog is a recipe for disaster if not done right
>>5041518>APBT>working dogwhat 'work' do these dogs do?
Not that other anon who just responded about the health pitfalls of mixed breed dogs but also you have to understand that a lot of these mixed breed dogs are just genetically fucked because they have traits from two (or more) different dogs that were bred to do very different things. Like if you were to cross an extreme high energy dog like an ACD or border Collie with a lower energy dog, it's possible that the resulting mutt will have the mental drive of the herding dog with the physical ability of a companion dog, leading to far more stress on their less-robust bodies. Or another example is when you see a large dog crossed with a small dog and you end up with a mutt that's legs will give out on it at an early age because its body is too heavy for its legs.
>>5042034Planned parenthood special operations command
>>5042034Stop being an obtuse little faggot, you know what a fucking working dog is, irrelevant of the fact of whether you like the "work" or not. The fact that the most common "job" now is post-natal abortions is not the point that's being argued, nigger.
>>5042034they were made to kill other dogs in organized fights
>>5041882what i get from this is that cougars are bitchmade
>>5042094Dog fighting is not work, they have no duty to humans therefore they are not working dogs and it's absolutely retarded to say that they are.
>>5042162What if you bred a dog to protect toddlers from pitbulls?
>>5042172Well they already have dogs that do that kind of thing. Shitbulls are not one of them. They're too stupid.
>>5042172Guard Dogs already exist that'll be violently protective over what they are assigned to protect even if it's against packs of coyotes. Pitbulls are just pretty redundant honestly.
>>5041885>I always knew “mutts are healthier!” was just a copeMutts are healthier when it’s some third world street dog with 100 years of mutt ancestry and no definable breed traits. Mutts that are just a cross of two or three breeds like what you find in shelters are not healthier
>>5042200The real problem is every single dog breed now is packed full of genetic disease because of overbreeding, none of which magically go away just because you outbred them once.
>>5041369You sound brown
>>5041359I had a similar story with the same pit bull and ancient dog issue. My local shelter had an non-refundable application fee, an adoption fee, required to inspect my home and interview the people that live there. My family ended up at a BYB instead and $500 later we got an 10 week old husky. Ironies of ironies, at the time, I was totally okay with getting a pit bull because I hadn't considered PTSD can affect most mammals and genetic memory is real.I just checked the website and they don't have the application fee anymore and the adoption fee is only $65 now. The wording is now they would prefer to inspect the home and interview my family instead of a hard requirement. Not sure what happened in the 10 years since I tried to adopt and not shop.Our husky has 2 cancers, but is she STRONG. I give her 5 years max left: Even then, 10 years for a husky is decent. I will not consider stepping foot in a shelter because of my experience. I will visit another BYB to purchase a dog no questions asked. OP, I hope you find the perfect dog for you at a back yard breeder or a family friend that just happened to have puppies. Fuck shelters.
>>5042162>Ayo y dis yteboi keep axin me di shit and sayin I din have brickfussAgain, you're being an intentionally obtuse redditor or you're an actual nigger. You know what a working dog is, and the fact that you don't like the "work" or if the dog even does a job is irrelevant. It's a bad analogy (because (English) Bulldogs are actually entirely showring dogs) but the original bulldog would still be a working dog whether you like the idea of bullbaiting or not>Umm it's not an ape because it's a chimpanzee
>>5042201They think they can fix inbreeding going on since the 1900s because they just like their dogs with shorts life-spans so much
>>5042252This argument is retarded and I am agreeing to disagree.

you're a disgusting person. I hope a pit bull comes after and kills you one day. seriously wtf is wrong with you this is literally the definition of racism
>>5042326whats wrong with racism
>>5042326Humans weren't selectively bred for an unhinged, unnatural form of violenceImagine a government supersoldier program that bred men with a killing drive rarely seen among humanity. Men who don't fight for justice, men who don't fight for self preservation, men who don't fight to make a point, men who don't fight to put someone in their place - men who fight because they want to kill and eat their enemy - and they're fucking starving. The most ravenous, desperate soldiers to ever see battle. The most bloodthirsty and uncontrollable people on earth. And yet, as long as they know they have easier access to food elsewhere, they won't turn on their master, or commit many crimes like a normal aggro fuck.That is what humans did to pitbulls.
>>5042282Lmao I looked it upThat litter of shit-tier pups doesn’t show up when you filter for any bull breed variant, only when you search for ChihuahuasSome soccer mom is going to get her kid killed when she adopts one of those turds thinking it’s going to be a 16 pound dog and it grows into a hyper aggressive 70 pound one>>5042326>this is literally the definition of racism
>>5042316Livin the dream
>>5041359Let me guess, the shitbulls have no adoption fee and you practically have to check your trunk to make sure the shelter didn't stuff a dozen in your car before you leave.
>>5042405More or lessEven on petfinder I found the pit bull listings have no mention of adoption fees but on desirable breeds like dachshunds and terriers have prominently listed $300-500 adoption feesWait, are the desirable ones subsidizing the shit breeds?
>>5042440The pitbull lobby is literally owned and operated by an offshoot of a satanic cult. Did you expect less?
>>5042316>CaliFornication
>>5042441Considering they literally look like hell dogs from Ghostbusters I’m not surprised
On a related note, why is it impossible to find chihuahuas that actually look like CHIHUAHUAS anymore? They look like either bug eyed freaks or stupid teacup purse dogs
>>5042441Do tell!
>>5041359The pitbull mix my parents refuse to get rid of is the reason I refuse to touch dogs anymore because I can't shake the subconscious fear that they're gonna fucking snap and bite me with no warning like he did.Fucker's bit everyone in the family at least once and they don't get rid of it. Blows my mind.
>>5041359Adopt don't shop is bullshit. Buy from a real breeder.
>>5042490If you want a chihuahua that's bred to standard, you're probably going to have to go through breeder who actually shows dogs. Find some AKC dog shows (ideally one that has a chihuahua specialty, or at least check the entries ahead of time to see how many chihuahuas will be showing) on Infodog, go meet some breeders and chihuahuas when they're not in the ring or getting ready to show, and make some breeder contacts. You will likely be paying somewhere around $2000-5000 for a puppy from a good breeder who shows and does health and genetics testing. You'll probably have to wait anywhere from a few months to a year or so for a puppy. Retired show dogs that won't be bred can be a good and cheaper option.
>>5042504post your small wrist
>>5042503My only issue with AKC is their standard is apple head chis and those undoubtedly end up having breathing issuesI’ve always preferred deer head but those aren’t breed standard according to AKC
>>5041844>officer she was charging right at me>the dog?>no, the owner
>>5042329your assumptions are so wrong most pitbulls are agressive and if they are the previous owner just neglected the dog. even if that was true that doesnt make up an excuse to exploit the genitals of an innocent animals for self gain .its fucked up to forcefully bring someone into this world only for the purpose of self gain
>>5041360Woman is the nigger of the world. Pitbull is the nigger of the dog world. Manny such queso.
>>5041362This. Dog eugenics is standard operating procedure. The American pit bull terrier has outlived its use and should be eradicated. Feed them live to apex predators at the zoo. Or just euthanize them on the spot.
>>5041518>These are usually the same retards that would tell you to remove important endocrine organs from your dog before it's even started pubertyUsually it’s vets that suggest this. In the case of large female dogs, vets suggest to wait until they’re older or have their first heat before being spayedShelters/adoption groups probably suggest dogs to be spayed/neutered for the same reason they require you to have a fenced in yard. They know most pet owners are absolutely morons and don’t want their dogs to have accidental litters that will just end up re-filling shelters, thus continuing the cycle of poor dog ownership. Since they want dogs to have a home, they’re adamant about neutering/spaying and a fenced-in yard to keep your dog from fucking with other dogs

>>5042654Stop acting all battered wife over inbred beasts you dolt.
>>5042329>That is what humans did to pitbulls.It's sad really. Their Bull and terrier progenitors were essentially space marines of the dog world. Ancient genecraft of crossing now extinct bulldog and terrier breeds to produce the greatest fighting dogs of their age. Strong, agile, relentless with completely altered temperament and prey drive to other dogs. No fear with other dogs and show less pain. The only dogs where other dogs are the natural prey and will punch above their weight with their modified wide strong jaws. Without intervention they would fight on stopping for nothing until they or the other dog is dead. There are more redeemed purebred descendants like the English Staffy where carefully over time they were made smaller and their temperament dialled back for the show ring and actual reproposing as a family dog. I prefer that to what happened in America :(
i got mine through a private party cause the spca is a racket they just soak up gov money to subsidize their business of killing animals and reselling overpriced damaged ones gov pays for all the animal tranny surgeries and death shots but when you come to get a dog they charge you every fucking kibble bite that that dog recieved
>>5041359>SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETSdo NOT do this!!!!!!!!!! I just got a puppy, he’s almost a year old, he’s the perfect little dog (sheedog)I spent a year and a half searching for him, any non-pitbull I could find. There aren’t any dogs. Where are they? They’re all spayed and neutered and extinct. Eradicate shit bulls and spay them, let other dogs fucking breed ffs. I’m not mutilating my dog. Wtf? lol that’s so fucked up.
>>5042309Fucking cut your dogs nails anon, ffs.
>>5041359Shelters have the most ridiculous rules and hoops to jump through to get a dog. I remember when my parents tried to adopt a dog from the local animal shelter and had them bring their other dog in to see if it was dog friendly. They wanted a husky Shepard mutt and had a full blooded Keeshond. They bring the Keeshond down to the shelter and they stick them both in a room together to see what happens. Obviously, both dogs are anxious and stressed the Keeshond barks at the other dog. They deny my parents on the grounds that the Keeshond is vicious. There are very few dogs that wouldn’t be scared and anxious when a stranger takes it from their owner drags you to a room and puts another unknown dog in the same room. In the end they bought a husky from petco a few months later. They had no problems with each other.
>>5041360I will smash your faggot dog's head in with a rock.
>>5042490they're a dog breed mostly owned by mexicans, what do you expect?
>>5042654You're in the wrong place you dumb woman, fuck off back to plebbit or Instagram comments sections
>>5042217what happened is the proliferation of 'Hood fancy has lead to an explosive growth of pit bulls and pit bull variants who inevitably end up in shelters because da pyramid skeem didn't make them a millionaire in three years. Shelters are now so massively overpopulated with them they are trying to get rid of them ASAP. So they create more incentives to try and get unsuspecting middle class whites to come in and adopt them.
>>5041360you are not white
>>5042326the pitbull discussion is just a dogwhistle (pun intended) for the negro discussion.
>>5042498hotdog soaked in antifreeze
>>5042897since when? it's a Mexican breed but most modern Mexicans larp as black and have either nanny dogs or lowbred rottweilers. The only people I've ever seen own chihuahuas are old spinster white women. They treat them like cats, having dozens of them running around half feral.
>>5042710Except all PBTs are dogshit as a fighting breed, they're exclusively a bloodsport breed. There's a dozen breeds that eat them alive, from livestock guardian dogs (all European Mastiffs, some shepherds...), dedicated traditional dog fighting breeds (Tosa...), wolf hunting breeds (Borzhoi...) and more. All of these breeds will win 10 times to 1 against an apbt.The point of this particular breed is to have a tough looking neurotic mess some lowlife from the slums of London can easily train to go psychotic by command and actually kill in a couple months, to have the betting bloodsports be more spectacular. All those more powerful breeds take care and dedication to get to consistently kill an opponent in the ring.
>>5042948They'll probably beat any other dog breed in their weight class and still damage the larger dogs if they get a hold first. Livestock guardian dogs are significantly larger along with mastiffs so that's understandable along with any other larger dog fighting breeds. Borzoi is a bit of a meme though. Their build was to chase down a single wolf in packs of multiple borzoi and quickly dispatch them with overwhelming numbers just like how other sighthounds are used on coyotes. They're not individual sustained fighters and never were.
>>5042710The "original" bulldog would be the "Space Marine" (or maybe Thunder Warriors actually - bullbaiting being banned sort of did away with their purpose) whereas the bull and terriers/early pitbull ancestors were purposely bred to be LESS strong/violent/powerful etc because it was infeasible to own one that can no longer do it's job publicly. The dissemination among "lower class" clandestine pit fights made them smaller and t*rrierised because you sure as fuck don't want to have a dog that can actually kill you when you have to get in the pit and referee, plus they're more "compact", "hireable" and more expendable the smaller they are (so the nascently forming pitbull common ancestors would be Imperial Guard in your analogy, Bulldogs would be Space Marines, the "game" Mastiff ancestors of the bulldogs would be Thunder Warriors)
the trick is to live in the south or find a place nearby where so few people live that the shelters pay to have dogs from the south trucked up to them. When I lived in the Adirondack mountains at the top of NY I paid $250 adopted a dog that is mostly rhodesian ridgeback who was trucked up from georgia, now I live in arkansas and we got a puppy 3 years ago from some shoeless hippie bitch that looks half heeler and half german short haired pointer.
>>5041912people who says mutts are healthier usually aren't talking about one single generation, and it's also an old addage from before the modern world. They used to be called "heinz 57's" like the ketchup, because it was a true gonzo mix of breeds. These days everything is so closed off or boutiqued. It's also why you don't see random cool looking dogs so much anymore
>>5042190I used to deliver for fedex in the asscrack of nowhere and I would run into a lot of great pyranese. They were the most friendly dogs I ever met even if some of them stood as tall as my fuckin nipples. Intimidating, but so sweet. However if they wanted to fuck something up, it's pretty clear they're probably going to win. Same thing with caucasian shepards except they were usually actually behind a fence because they would have fucked me up.
>>5042266Lifespan isn't even the real issue. It's shit like hip dysplasia or cancers or eye and nose problems. Your dog dies at age 9, that's a tragedy. Your dog becomes a cripple at age 9, that's expensive.

>>5043021>>5043039And here's the suspected heeler/pointer
>>5043020Old English Bulldogs weren't crossed into terriers because they needed them smaller but because they didn't have the same drive for dog fighting as they did for bull-baiting. Working terriers already used in rat-baiting another bloodspot brought increased aggression and terrier prey drive which was then used to target dogs. Bull and terriers weren't even drastically smaller than Old English Bulldogs if at all.
>>5043021This is what I gathered. The moment you leave the KC metro area either west or south suddenly the shelters are filled with terriers and chihuahuas with nary a shit bull to be seen

That pitbull threw itself at a charging bear and sustained 26 bite wounds along with claw lacerations for its owner, a noble act no matter how you try and twist it. That he was later saved doesn't deduce from the fact he saved his owners life by fighting for some time, allowing the owner to get the drop on the bear making it retreat. >Meanwhile, pomeranians fuck up bears all the time: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wGbIE0f88sAThat's cute but the pomeranian didn't even touch it and looks like a timid bear out of its element that would likely flee at any challenge.

>>5044120Nah the pom was lucky it was just a juvenile black bear not looking for trouble. It also just ate the poms breakfast and satisfied to get away with it unscathed. The pitbull's bear was much larger and stalking the owner.>>5044157Except the pom just immediately charged after the bear out the house despite being called much to the owners obvious distress, zero discipline. The Pitbull meanwhile was actually barking at the bear while moving back with the owner and only attacked when the owner fell over and the bear closed the distance.
>>5043997Kill yourself ban evading anti cat schizo
>>5044167The bear would have been dead if the pom's owner hadn't been calling it off. The pitbull would have been dead if its owner hadn't pulled the bear off.Face it, pitbulls are terrible at fighting bears. They prefer easy prey like toddlers.
>>5044169Not even that guy, go be a whinging catfag someplace else.
>>5044057Hello canine worshiper
>>5044170>The bear would have been dead if the pom's owner hadn't been calling it off.lol>The pitbull would have been dead if its owner hadn't pulled the bear off.She didn't just pull the bear off she was clobbering it over the back of the head with a fucking log until the bear decided she could have her dog back and ran away. Fucking badass for a woman. >Face it, pitbulls are terrible at fighting bears. They prefer easy prey like toddlers.I don't think any dog is well suited to fighting bears without being horribly injured or killed. Their prey drive was developed for other dogs.
>>5044209>I don't think any dog is well suited to fighting bearshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear-baiting
>>5044215I mean like one-on-one and you ignored the whole getting horribly injured and killed. With bear-baiting they were usually setting several dogs on a single bear at once in a pit, even rotating dogs as they were killed or injured. No dog is going to come out okay fighting a animal that weights a lot more, has greater strength, can bite harder, has claws and greater dexterity.
I would rather my dog hide behind a tree during a bear attack and let the 10mm buffalo bore do the talking
>>5044221>dogs.... are le pack animals?Holy shit bro, call the media
A pibble was very aggressive with me for no reason today. I was just passing by and the dog was fine with all the other passersby but tried to lunge at me for no reason. Why? Dogs usually love me.I usually think you cunts exaggerate their aggression and unpredictability but today made me think otherwise. He was on a leash held by an urban youth.Somehow, I think that's relevant
>>5044234If you don't carry a gun or a 6 inch fixed blade knife with a guard so your hand doesn't slip in 2025 you are an actual retard.
>>5044234shitbulls are genetically defective.
>>5041360We get it, you’re a genetically ugly and aggressive subhuman that wants a genetically ugly and aggressive breed. Many such cases actually.
>>5041359they should all be killed>>5041360n****e asshole piece of shit moron son of a fucking smelly hateful whore dickhead faggot cuck beta simp loser
>>5044234That or some trashy woman. It’s the majority of shitbull owners.
>>5044209>Bear had to be saved from pom>Pitbull had to be saved from bearImagine thinking this makes the pitbull look good
>>5044264you seem mad
>>5044248>>5044265Fucking and? >>5044257I'm starting to see that.
>>5044413wtf is wrong with its eyes?
>>5044426nothing, what do you think is wrong with her?
>>5044433Very cute dog anon! I love pit bulls, but I'm also aware of the reality they have a genetic tendency to be violent. That being said, raised right and loved I think they can be great. Remember, while it's true that they are genetically inclined towards violence, it's also true the vast majority of them are raised in nog households. I wonder what the dog attack statistics look like when you break it down to the race of the household the pitbulls are raised in. Every pitbull I've met in a rural white community has been a pleasent little guy. Like all things it boils down to a combination of nature and nurture
>>5044433eye sockets look swollen
>>5044433Sometimes that pibble, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a pibble, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the kid's room turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces
>>5044451might be the extra skin around around her face in the photo>>5044452she's a girl and i dont want kids, nice try at scaring the little twinks in the thread though

>>5044567esl? it should be pitbull loving. pitbull singular and loving, a lover is something completely different

>>5044609keep replying, youre only giving me an excuse to keep posting her. you can tell me your first language i might know it, then you can seethe in your first language and it might be comprehensible
>>5044575Cute.
>>5042654I wish eating dogs was acceptable in the West. The pitbull question would be solved quickly.
>>5044669ching chong
>>5044618brainless retard moron piece of shit idiot son of a fucking smelly hateful whore asshole dickhead faggot cuck beta simp loser
>>5044672Nein, weißer als du bin ich mit Sicherheit.I'm actually serious. There must be some good eating on pitbulls. What's the difference between eating a pig and a dog, really? It would solve the pitbull problem and maybe give the breed a new purpose as livestock.
>>5044677>chink claims to be white>wants to eat pets
>>5044678Not pets, dogs. Either masterless shelter rejects or purpose bred livestock.
>>5044680>dog evolves beside humans as companions >rumi rumi doggy in my asian tummy
>>5044685Our ancestors followed around herdes of horses as their main food source before horses became work/companion animals. Just because an animal is not primarily bred for its meat, doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be eaten. Try again.

>>5044648thanks anon, i bet your dog is also cute >>5044673have another pic, its us cuddling before bed
>>5042441Which one??? The Jews???
>>5041359>adopt dont shopgotta be the stupidest advice i've heard, you're gonna be stuck with this animal for around 14 years, the least you can do is 30 minutes of research and spend some time hanging out with the dog to make sure it's not a schizo retard>>staff member tells me I’d have been rejected anyway because I don’t have a fenced yardi blame gay shit like this for the popularity of breeders, i didn't have to go through a round of interrogations to adopt my guy. do i feel kinda bad giving money to a BYB? maybe, but at least i have a good dog, know it's lineage, and didn't get turned away from him for some stupid arbitrary reason
>>5044955>shelters: you need 1 acre with an 8 foot fence>dog owners for the past 40,000 years: i have a cave and go on walks outside of it. it's pretty cozy. see i drew a deer on the wall.
5041360>Another "Let me farm (You)s be derailing the thread and making it all about my comment" threadYou don't even deserve a (You). You piece of trash is what's making this fucking website crap4chan is nearly unusable now, cause each thread (even /an/ threads) are just hijacked by some retard that tries to farm attention and completely fucks with OP wants to actually discuss.It's all so fucking tiresome
>>5044962>>5041360Let's see what got you so worked up.
>>5042490Running into the same problem. I want a deer head chihuahua but the ones I see are badly bred bug eyed mutants, and every breeder specializes in apple head because that’s the AKC breed standard even if it makes them brachycephalic
>>5045741get a toy fox terrier and ask them not to dock the tail, they look like deer-head chis
Best method in my many years of dog experience is using facebook. Way harder back in the day but now you search for dog groups. There is always a couple who need a bit of money who breed their Clean dog with another clean dog who sells tl Anyone (not always good people) but stillm there you can get a good dog cheap.
Shelters should have a policy to execute all half nigbulls when received.
>>5041360Textbook small dick energy. Even mechanical compensators are blushing.
>>5045747Are they less neurotic?
>>5044702Yes, /an/ is notorious for its schizo femanons, like a /soc/-lite
OP, seriously though. Forget all the toxic assholes in the thread.What's wrong with putbull and mix dogs? I've had a pitbull mix for the past 11 years and I have a lot of friends with pitbulls and pitbull mixes. They're one of the sweetest, most intelligent, trainable, loyal and gentle-with-humans dogs out there.Go on r/velvethippos and r/pittiesmiles and see for yourself
>>5045759Unfathomably based>>5045747What’s their temperament like? I assume they’re a working terrier and love to dig?>>5045749I’ll check. There are some Chihuahua groups in my region but again the pit bull advocate fags have flooded the area so comprehensively that half the chis in that group are on the opposite side of the state where the bull bans are still in place>>5044962The interviews and multiple required “inspections” are what pissed me off. A rescue an hour from me had some worthy dogs but their process involved:>written application with fee>in-person interview>in-person home inspection>adoption fee between $200-$400 if you pass everythingit’s like are these people for fucking real? If you check their website like 80% of their animals are pit bulls they’ve had for 2 years and who have no adoption fees, the huge fees only apply to the actual non-shit dogs

>>5048997Gym teacher.
>>5041360I hope your shitbull snaps one day and decides to bite your nuts off so you can't breed and the world is cleansed of another potential generation of retarded shitbull owners
>>5049371
>>5045948All terriers are neurotic as fuck
Shitbulls are worse than any feral cat. Anti-cat schizos may not like it but it's the truth.
>>5050928>yearly death toll from shitbulls: 20-30 not counting several hundred severe maulings>easily solved by eradicating one single dog breed>yearly death toll from diseases spread by feral cats: 750+>~325 from properly cooked steak>~325 from fresh fruits and veggies>unknown thousands of undiagnosed unborn deaths>unknown thousands of birth defects from conenital toxoplasmosis>not so easily solved by convincing people to keep cats inside and make their houses smell 10x worsethe proponents of pitbull proliferation and feral cat colonies are both predominantly women so perhaps there is a single solution for both problems
>>5050928Absolutely retarded considering the ecological damage feral cats commit globally. Pitbull Terriers are a human-centric problem and only in the countries that haven't banned them.
>>5050963More like a canine-centric problem. Dog-on-dog mauling is the biggest offender.
>>5044945The Best Friends Animal Society, which previously went by the Process Church of the Final Judgement. They have managed to land a surprising number of shelter managing contracts. They are also known to pull shit like keeping pitbulls in their no kill shelters while diverting other breeds to other shelters that do euthanize pets.
>>5052215Fuckin kek
>>5041360>it's a socioeconomic issue!!
>>5042316just like my monstergirl doujins
>>5041360I've seen even the nicest most trained shitbulls snap. They are a bad breed.
Just get byb dogs. Want a deer head Chihuahua? Byb is pretty much the only option.
