  • So you keep implying that you have never heard of what in media is called "pit bull attacks? I find that very hard to believe. That’s why I keep asking.

    And you maintain you don’t know of any negative or detrimental traits in pitbulls and mixes like, lets see, orthopedic problems, cardiovascular issues, allergies, neurological problems and so on that are typical for these dogs?

    This is the kind of research you need to do on your own about the dog you are getting or the one you have got. All dogs and all dog breeds have a multitude of issues that a responsible dog owner is aware of. But then again, not everybody is interested in being a responsible dog owner.

    From my personal anecdotal experience, it is depressingly common with people that own muscle dogs and to lesser extent other dog breeds that are colloquially considered dangerous. People that want dangerous dog to feel cool about themselves but don’t want any of the responsibility of owning a dog and even less the responsibility of owning a dog that might actually be dangerous. Dangerous, as you claim to not be aware in the slightest, as in pitbull and other muscle dog mixes being successfully bred for fighting by having a superior capacity to snap and fight until death with exceptional jaw strength at the expense of their health profile and the psychological predictability you normally aim for in a healthy dog breed of any kind.

    What are your thoughts on this?


  • Trying to understand what sounds like contradictory pick-and-choose arguments, please humour me;

    Are genetics and inherited traits in different dog breeds real?

    Besides being nanny dogs, what are pitbulls and muscle dogs known for?

    What have been the uses for this type of dogs, except nanny dog etc, and what have a they been bred for?

    You are really honest to whatever deity of your choosing not aware of any negative or adverse traits of said dogs?




  • That’s good to hear, I’m glad to hear that you seem aware of inherited dog traits and the issues to know about mixed breeds with problematic dogs in them.

    I think it is awful how many people nowadays ignore to do any research about the type of dog they have, how they behave and what they need. It’s like many people see a dog as a thing that they can shape into what they want and believe that because they don’t want to recognize particular genetic traits they will go away.

    Best of luck to all of you. Give him some pets from me.

    He is a beautiful good boy with some bad elements in his family tree.

    Please be responsible. Dogs with Pitbull and Amstaff genes will always have risks of triggering. Just like my dog will always have hunting in his genetic set up and it is my responsibility to keep him safe for what his mind may trigger as prey. Or like his best friend can’t help trying to herd everything in packs larger than one.


  • Security packed and system updates is one thing.

    The constant reorganization of functions and apps and layouts and compatibility is a very different one.

    It is a problem that the operating system is controlled by the largest apps and service company that make money from user data in various forms and keep pushing their business model in every device core operations.

    And fuck fuck fuck that Google keeps trying to force Gemeni in every update. Let me keep using Google Assistant and stop making it worse by stripping out functionality or replacing shortcuts to Gemeni. Gemeni can still not do the very few things I want my voice assistant to do, namely set alarms and play music on whatever music streaming service I prefer to use.
