boxer / pit bull attacked my dog. Have you had trouble with these breeds and your dogs?
Yesterday at the dog park in Long Beach, CA a boxer/pitbull mix attacked my dog and bit him. This dog that attacked was in a large group of dogs that was in the dog park illegally since you are only supposed to be with one dog per person. The animal control told me to call them whenever there are groups of dogs with one person. Every single time they are there though. I probably won’t be going there any time soon. Anyone else have problems with bigger aggressive dogs like pit bulls attacking your dogs? Recently a dog was mauled there by 2 pit bulls, and the dog beach in Long Beach in January, a chihuahua was killed by 2 pit bulls. I have a friend that has the sweetest female pit that I can have my small Shiba Inu dog around.
The dog care walker said it was a boxer/pit mix and she quickly placed it in a time out fenced area.
It’s not the breed, but the irresponsible owner that’s the problem. The owner was already breaking the rules by having too many dogs. And if you keep seeing them there, then they are bringing a known dog-aggressive dog back to a dog park. That’s not the dog’s fault, it’s the idiot owner.
Don’t blame the breed, blame the owner.
Hooray Rachel for saying it. Listen people, she’s pit owner and lover!!! It’s how the owner handles the dog and the decisions the owner makes.
I have large dogs (goldens) and the biggest problems I’ve had have been with other types of breeds, some large and some quite small. I’ve had problems with a lab, a ridgeback and a Boston terrorist. I don’t do dog parks for this reason.
LYNNAE – you’ve fallen for the locking jaw crap. It’s not true. Pits have strong jaws but their jaws do not lock. It’s a pile of fear-mongering crap.
