I am sure that they put that dog down as soon as possible and she probably is housebreaking her puppy right now.

I was just listening to her talk in the video and she say that he was like her baby and would sleep in the bed with her and ride in the car. He apparently attacked her because she wouldn't let him ride in the car with her. Then she lies and says that she couldn't believe that he did it because he'd never shown any signs of aggression before. At what point did she forget that her grandson was bitten? That is what other family members say! SMH

She should have seen that one coming.

If I try to leave the house without my GSDs, they bury my care keys in the litter box, then I have to go hunt for buried treasure.

Yup but like with the GSDs they aren't being bred to standard and bigger dogs are becoming popular with some.....probably because larger dogs are more intimidating.

I saw a large pitbull type dog that was on the news (because of problems with his dogs going after elderly neighbor) and it looked like it was crossed with some type of mastiff (I'm thinking cane corso/presa canario).

The owner of the dog, on camera, identified the dog as pitbulls tho....

Its seriously sad that many of these beautiful dogs end up in the wrong hands.

The 63 year old lady, if nobody noticed, says it is an American Bulldog/Pit Mix. I wish people would take breeding into account. This is not a representation of the breed, it is the effect of taking two strong breeds from unknown backgrounds and genetics, mixing them together to get puppies, and voila! You get a poorly tempered time bomb.

Thank you & Yes! As others have mentioned, it does appear that BYBs are mixing in mastiff type breeds, to get bigger & meaner "pit bulls". But they are no longer pit bulls (APBT or AST) are they? They are MUTTS (with a very dangerous mix of genetics). But the general public keeps calling them "pit bulls" and the breed name is tarnished over & over again.

I am not apologizing for these messed up mutts. If it were up to me, every unstable dog would be put down immediately.
