It's not the pitties fault it's the owners. If the dog wasn't trained then and only then is it a problem. Pit bulls are 'mean breed' because of what people taught them to do. Before that they were known as nanny dogs because you could leave them alone with kids while you went out. Most pitties only have dog issues anyways. And to top it all off, besides little dogs, cocker spaniels, golden retrievers and poodles are more likely to bite then a pit bull of any kind is.

My neighbor's cocker spaniel came flying through a hole in the fence and latched onto the shoulder of my 150 lb rottweiler, who started yelping and trying to run away. Don't be an idiot about specific dog breeds, but do report the owner if he cannot control his animals whether it be a pit bull or a parakeet.

Pitbulls aren't born mean, the way they're raised forms their attitude. They get their feelings hurt very easily. I have one, and hes so sweet, hes afraid of cats.

so? how do you know it'll be bad too?

seriously i agree with those saying that pits are not evil dogs because i own one & she is the goofiest thing in the world with a big heart it sounds like to me your neighbor is an idiot that is intentionally training his dogs to be that way so i suggest calling your local anti-cruelty society or similar organization and ask that they make regular visits not only for the safety of the neighborhood but of the dog as well. until then i would suggest being friendly toward the dog and try to establish a good relationship so it wont bite you who knows showing some kindness might actually make the dog protect your yard too because my dog not only protects my yard but the neighbors as well. good luck

IMO saying that all Pitbulls are vicious is like saying that all **Fill in minority here** people steal... think about it. It is 100% the way they are raised. I myself am the proud owner of two Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

WHY THE HELL ARE ALL YOU SAYING THAT PITBULLS CAN BE NICE!?!?! THE VICTIMS COULD SUE THE OWNER FOR THE DOG ATTACKS, DUMBASSES.

I'm assuming you have animal control on speed dial. I feel bad for the dog because they are the product of their owner but I know you can't have a dog hurting people either. it's just sad.

I have known several pit bulls. They are energetic and they like to nibble when they play. One of them (Thor) like to just hold your arm in his mouth. He never even left marks. He also liked to nibble on my fiance's facial hair. There was another pit (Roxie) that lived in the same house. She was definitely a cuddler. So, are you saying that just because some people are irresponsible and let their dog have free reign to protect what they see as their territory, that suddenly one of them will attack us? Have you seen The Dog Whisperer? Cesar Milan takes his pit bull, Daddy, with him to help train people, even families with small children. If the dog is trained right, no worries.

....why haven't you sued him?
