My course went for 7 days a week, for an entire year. It was an accredited course, held by a doctor of Veterinary Science, from the university of NSW.
We studied, animal law, GENTETICS, BEHAVIOUR, health and disease, breeding, anatomy, nutrition and the list goes on.
There were approximately 30 in our class and at the same time there was another class that contained about the same amount of students.
MANY people in the course went on to become Veterinary nurses, control officers, council workers and to work in refuges.
MANY of the people who took the course had dogs. If not all of them and many were different breeds, a few people even HAD Pitbulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards. We discussed and learned about DOG BEHAVIOUR and GENETICS in great detail. Much of this discussion centered around different traits for different breeds.
When I took this course, I did it because I love dogs, I wanted to be EDUCATED on making the world a better place for them. I even thought my knowledge my help educate dog owners. I work in a Merchant Bank, I didnt want a career out of it.
However, little did I know the ignorance of some people and the lack of understanding and the denial some people live in. And little did I know that some people would tell me that I didnt know what Im talking about....even though I am highly educated in this field.
You people have very little respect for anyone, that disagrees with you and can shed some insight into the ownership and history of the Pitbull. We talked about aggression in great detail and the Pitbulls anatomy far surpassed any breed in capabilty of being able to kill. They are genetically wired to fight and ATTACK. Im sick of this arguement, because there is no point in trying to have a battle of wits, with unarmed people! ↓

I am a CPDT. It's the way you put your "knowledge" on the table that turns people off. You can educate without demeaning. Friendly education is what people listen to, not in-your-face-i-know-everything education. Treat people as equals. Also, don't mix fact and opinion to the people you are trying to educate. ↑ |
Also, try not getting so frustrated. ↑ |
Well, you havent been here long, have you?
Thats the way it started off. Tried to do that, until I got attacked by all the Pitbull owners on here and told I was wrong.
Scroll back and see how I was called a bitch, for trying to get my point across in a friendly way....lol
But then again, that doesnt surprise me, like owner, like dog. ↑ |
See? This is what I mean. You are definitely not making any friends in here that way.
And I have been through all the threads. I think Pits are great dogs that are very powerful and should be treated with great care and respect. They are capable of a lot, but most aren't aggressive towards people, they were not bred for people aggression. I would never say to exterminate a whole breed.
In each dog is a soul.
Personally I think as a whole, GSD's are much more unstable.
Like I've said before, it's unfortunate what popularity does to a breed. ↑ |
Have you ever had anything to do with German Shepards?
Pitbulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards are all in the same category, if you had read back, you will see, I dont dispute German Shepards are a problem too. They should ban the lot of them. ↑ |
And....you dont even know me.
Ask anyone that does, they will tell you I am the least conceited, arguementive person they have ever known.
However, when I KNOW about a certain topic, and have been educated in that topic, and then I am told over and over and over again, by people such as yourself, that I dont know what Im talking about, YES, it gets on my nerves. As it would ANYONE who knows anything about ANYTHING! ↑ |
Oh and we can't even title a topic without being rude...
And sweety if you go back and actually listen to yourself you would see that it is you who has little respect for those who disagree with you. Again no in here was saying that pitbull was not an agressive dog and no one was saying that they do not account for majority of dog bits,attacks and mauling. We are talking about the dogs that are nothing that you describe and you can seem to even acknowledge that some of these dogs may not be as aggressive as you have read.
I am practically spelling this conversation out to you and you still are not able to see the big picture. No one is saying that you are wrong. But at the same time because again from personally experience we want you to see our point as well and you just can not see it in yourself to even think for one second that there might just be a few of these dogs that do not act on their aggression. ↑ |
My family had a German Shepherd when my sister and I were younger. We never had a problem with her. ↑ |
Oh....I see your point alright....thats the problem....lol ↑ |
Apparently you don't see what I am talking about because you continue to come back and call me a moron. ↑ |
seems like with your 'great education' you would know that it's too, not to. take an english course. ↑ |
HAHAHA the great animal expert works in a BANK!!!!!!!!!LOLLERZ!!!!!!! ↑ |
Do you ever know when to STOP? For one I NEVER said ANYTHING bad to you. YOU on the other hand wanted to come at me and call me a moron and other childish name calling. I was simply trying to have a conversation about dog food and BARF...and yet I get disrespected because I dont agree with you completely??
Instead of saying you are so educated why dont you start acting like it.
And yes it does depend on how a dog is bred and what lineage it comes from. Go examine hog dog (game lines) and compare them to show lines and see what you come up with. BOTH have differnent temperaments. ALL BECAUSE ITS HOW THEY WERE BRED ↑ |
maybe Hiddy having the last word doesnt always make you the winner. Food for thought! ↑ |
your website that you have of my sister is illegal! we are in talks with the local sherifs office to contact the FBI. defamation of character is what it is being called. you can be sued! possibly convicted. i suggest that you delete the website as so as possible. our brother in law is an attorney and is more than willing to pick up this case. you may live in australia but investigations can be reached anywhere! ↑ |
laugh now cry later!
by the way my sister is a member of this website because she is trying to have a kid. probably unlike you she wanted to get married buy a house and put money in the back before she had a kid. she didn't just lay down to any tom dick or hary to have a kid. she is planning. and now that she has all three that i just mentioned she is working on having a baby. ↑ |
ooooh
Abby, your a nasty one
Ill cut and paste that piece of public slander so I can show it to the FBI when they turn up at my door....lmao
By the way, we are not discussing anyones parenting skills here. We are discussing Pitbulls. My family matters are private thankyou. ↑ |
I am nasty. But I didn't act on depravation of character. You stole my sisters identity! Now don't get carried away with the FBI, she might be able to sue you instead. For once why don't you be a good person and delete the site? My sister has the right to her opinion. As do you. You slandered her character. That is not who she is at all. She loves Pit Bulls as much as you hate them. Now just agree to disagree. If you are a mother then would you teach your kids to act the way you are acting? I woul hope not. You want to say nasty things about my sister and post a website with her picture and act as if you are her, than i'm going to attack your parenting skills. How did you find time to sit infront of the computer all day and reply rude remarks to my sister and make up a very cruel website? ↑ |
okay....Ill take the photos down.....just a sec ↑ |

Check out this site. http://www.atts.org/testdesc.html Check out the American Pit Bull terrier and then check out the Golden retriver and tell me what you think. In your accredited course they left out the part about APBT also being bred for loyalty to people. They were bred for the service of people.They are also a family dog. ↑ |
This site calls the staffordshire terrior a family dog _] http://pets.yahoo.com/pets/dogs/br

hiddy you want to ban all these dogs well what good is that going to do..Do you know how many people these breeds you hate have saved...do you know how many drug dealers and convicts german shepherds have caught...Maybe you should stop trying to find the faults in these animals and look for the good...half the dogs you hate on you have never come in contact with..you just go by what the media and internet say...the only way you learn things is by personal experience which you don't have...you would find that pits, german shepherd, etc aren't as horrible as you make them out to be... ↑ |
