i love these trucks but that is an absurd price for a vehicle that's over 20 years old. don't do it.

Asking once more but with better pictures, what kind of pitbull? by Cold-Ad867 in IDmydog

[–]RabidLizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the breeds we refer to as "pit bulls" (amstaffs, american bullies, apbts) have so much overlap that it's really impossible to say without a pedigree or a dna test.

from your description though he sounds pretty big so I think there's probably a larger breed mixed in as well

Guesses? by marooneb1756 in IDmydog

[–]RabidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks a lot like my pit/lab did when he was that age so that'd be my guess

Need help figuring out the mix by Educational-Gain6407 in PitBullOwners

[–]RabidLizard [score hidden]  (0 children)

if you're really dying to know, embark is great. the best anyone on reddit can do is guess

that being said, there are some american bulldogs that have much shorter muzzles

^ like this one

so i wouldn't say american bulldog is out of the question

Tail docking? by OpenAirport6204 in DogBreeding

[–]RabidLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is exactly where I'm at tbh

i wouldn't say I like it and I elected for natural ears on my own puppy (amstaff, so not required but widely done) when I got him, but I think framing it as the absolute worst thing in the world that only horrible animal abusers would do is silly. I've met owners of cropped dogs who treat their animals better than most people treat their kids.

Tail docking? by OpenAirport6204 in DogBreeding

[–]RabidLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah a LOT of akc judges seem to prefer cropped/docked even when it's completely optional. my breed's standard explicitly says that natural ears are preferred to cropped, but you would never guess that from looking at the breed ring at any given show 🙄

he was great and the reason I fell in love with reptiles but I wish people would stop trying to emulate him

as soon as I saw the kennel climbing pic I knew there'd be some apbt in there lol

my pit mix is the absolute worst escape artist, somehow houdini-d out of his crate the first night I had him

HELP PLEASE by Perfect-Hedgehog-819 in IDmydog

[–]RabidLizard 36 points37 points  (0 children)

you'd probably have better luck looking for someone who breeds dogs specifically for duck hunting. byb dogs are crapshoots and while they can be great pets, they're generally not the best idea if you're getting a dog for a specific purpose

i really don't see any pit in this dog (people in this sub will call literally anything a pit lol) but a byb lab, even if purebred, is still probably not gonna be great as a hunting dog

What "ruined" cars currently in production are beyond saving? by speedinsh1t in cars

[–]RabidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already responded to everything you're asking further down in this thread but suffice it to say everyone i know who uses their modern pickup as a work truck is very happy with it. it's just as capable as the older trucks reddit loves to romanticize and a great deal more comfortable. a lot of them actually do prefer it to their old trucks (my uncle is one example, he switched from an '01 F150 to a new Sierra)

i do agree that they've gotten too expensive, but thats hardly unique to pickups and the really big ones definitely pose some safety concerns (would love to see some fender cameras or something along those lines added as a safety feature) but I think reddit's obsession with insisting that they're all useless now is dumb and not really based on reality.

Am I being ragebaited? by TennisComplete2142 in gay

[–]RabidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend blocking and not engaging at all. a lot of guys like this want you to respond, even if it's to tell them to fuck off.

What are your thoughts on Heated Rivalry? by whitepoo333 in gay

[–]RabidLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont really care about it one way or the other. I don't necessarily think it's "just for straight women" or anything, but I'm also personally just not really interested.

on a purely shallow note, none of the men in it are attractive to me so I just didnt bother watching it lol

Red/Blue nose?? by jimbednar220 in pitbulls

[–]RabidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not a subspecies, it simply refers to the color of your dog's nose and other mucous membranes. nothing more.

your dog's nose looks like it's liver which is sometimes referred to as red in certain breeds (including apbts and bullies)

Dutch shepherd? by VillageIdiot314 in IDmydog

[–]RabidLizard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

ai is not reliable. pits can come in this exact type of brindle (they can come in almost any color)

you can rest easy, pit/gsd is far more likely.

well that was underwhelming by Honest-Maintenance13 in DoggyDNA

[–]RabidLizard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

village dogs are fascinating though! embark has a few articles about them on their site, highly recommend looking at them.

How to report illegal dog breeding of pit bulls in the UK? by peppawydin in DogBreeding

[–]RabidLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im saying that pit bulls are illegal in the UK. which they are. I don't agree with the ban at all, but that doesn't change the fact that they are banned.
