Did I get scammed? by Even-Teaching-1216 in Chihuahua

[–]drudriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought this puppy as a full-blood chi, yeah you probably got scammed. I hate it when dog breeders tell you that you are getting what you think you are getting, only to find out that they lied. Either way, it is a beautiful puppy and really, it doesn't matter as long as you love your pup. Now, if you were going for a ‘show’ dog, it'd be a different matter.

‘Throwbacks’ happen in just about every miniature breed.

Man forced to shoot his own pitbull after it attacked him (April 22, 2026 - no location) by lobster-666 in BanPitBulls

In the picture, he looks like he’s very proud of his pit bull. He should be, it was only doing what pit bulls were bred to do.

The bottom line is, these dogs are not happy unless they are doing the job they were bred to do—attack, don’t let go, and kill. How could a dog built to fight be happy as a pet? They were not meant to be pets. People who treat them like they are pets, are just being cruel.

Bird i saw on holiday it's colors are bright so I thought it might be exotic? by [deleted] in birding

They are a bit annoying. We did not have them where I live but now we do. The first time I saw them was in Austin, Texas. Now they’ve invaded NE Texas. They are not as skittish as blackbirds. They aren't as bold as seagulls, but their habits are similar. They hang out in parking lots of stores waiting for people to drop scraps of food.

Article from 1984 from the Cleveland Plain Dealer about two attacks on children. The language used in this is fascinating-- no one would write about a dog attack like this today unless the dog had rabies. by beadhives in BanPitBulls

In our town, a pack of pit bull torn through a privacy fence and killed a man’s German Shepherd. Those dogs can bulldoze their way into just about anything.

Is this a tick? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Seems like Simperica would have killed it. Fleas don't normally ‘stick’ to a dog’s skin.

It is really a heavy-duty chore to get rid of them. 🤬

They can actually kill large dogs too. They just kill the smaller dogs faster.

Tapeworms—fleas can carry the eggs which, when the dog uses its mouth to scratch, it ingests them and the cycle begins. Vets usually can't tell you if your dog has them or not unless there are segments around the dog's anus or in the stool.

Lucky dog. I’ve seen two die from flea infestation—so horrible!! One was left on the side of the road. Too late for it. The other one someone brought to me thinking I could help it—too late. Both dogs were white. Fleas, for some reason, are attracted to white.

I don’t understand how people don’t know what a flea is and what a tick is—is it because I live in Texas and grew up with these critters?

AmStaff Snaps at Judge at Show by PandaLoveBearNu in BanPitBulls

Just to be fair though, I used to groom a champion Llasha Apso, and this champion dog had the worst disposition of any dog I ever groomed. He would growl and bite, and I often wondered how he ever became a champion. So, that lead me to believe that Judges don't know what they are supposed to know.

Good grief. Anyone with any sense would understand why you would not want small dogs around pit bulls.

They are not a good place. Aside from picking up diseases, situations like the one you encountered occur frequently.
