What BG said with regards to stress and how your dogs are is spot on.
I will never forget the last day I brought my dogs to a dog park, I have three medium small dogs (all range between 25 and 40lbs) This day I only had two, my Boston Terrier (tipping the scales at 40lbs of lean mean tennis ball chasing muscle) and my female Keeshond (at about 33lbs) this guy and his buddy had his pitbull running around the dog park, now I love pits and believe they get a bad rap, but when you have 2 fist pumping, wife beater wearing, bro curling guys with the pit I am very wary to say the least…
Man that dog must of saw my Keeshond as a Mark, as she is very demure that pit jumped my dog and had her by the snout and would not let go, all my dog did was squeal, cry and piss herself, I actually started kicking the pit to get it off, I guess my dog reacts to stress in a flight way…
Well not my boston, his fat ass jetted to scene and latched on to one of the pits jowls and started shaking and twisting and he would not let go, it was a fucking blood bath, finally we got all the dogs untangled, my Keeshond ran behind me wailing and bleeding and my boston still wanted more…I actually had to slap my dog out of his rage. Talk about 2 different reactions to stressfull situations. Seriously my Keeshond was and is never the same, and my boston is still as he always was, confident and stable.
Luckily though the owner(s) looked like a doucher, he apologized profusley and we both went to the vet, he paid.

I have had pits and I would never take them anywhere except my own backyard. I have once had to put down a pit in public…interesting times never the less.
Friends and I were on a road trip to go watch a basketball game. We stopped at a rest stop to stretch our legs and play fetch with the dog. The dog was a white husky with the blue eyes (mutation by the way). It wasn’t the best of dogs, but it was pretty. The dog was chasing after a ball that we were throwing towards the middle of park.
Out of no where this dog on a leash (with no handler attached) is chasing the husky back towards us. It grabs the dogs ear and lets go but reattaches to the husk’s ear. I try to break grip, but I don’t have a break stick with me.
A 25 year old punk kid comes running over and starts yelling at us to let go of his dog. I calmly look at him and say to break his dog. He is panicking trying to tell us that it is our fault. I again tell him to just break his dog and I’ll hold the husky.
Well, he continues to panic and I ask calmly again for him to break his dog, he doesn’t pay attention. I walk over to my vehicle and pull out a .357 I carried at the time. I come over and put one right behind the back of the head and break the spine of the dog.
I pull the husky away and someone wraps it in a towel and head to the vet hospital. Needless to say, cops come and find me. The rest is history.[/quote]
You write this like you’re proud of it. As evidenced by your use of the word “breakstick”, you are familiar with breaking a pitbull out of its hold. So, apparently to prove a point to a less-informed dog owner who was panicking, you shot a dog you could have broken off (I can break a dog without a stick and I’m pretty fucking sure you can too). You shot a dog with a deadly “ear hold”. LMMFAO. Asshole.
