A pit bull owner and recent transplant to Encinitas received a not so nice welcome upon moving into her new digs, saying she was bullied and harassed so much by her neighbors over her two dogs that she felt pressured to move out within days of moving in.
Janis Sandlin, owner of Surf’s Pup Doggie Lounge, moved from Ocean Beach to a triplex in Leucadia last month. She said on her first day there, her neighbor to the left, a new mom, made it clear she was extremely upset Sandlin and her pups were there.
[...]
Sandlin met her other neighbor a few days later and said they had a much nicer conversation, but the outcome was the same — that neighbor was worried her dogs would bite her friends if they came over.
[...]
As of last Wednesday, Sandlin found a new place to live in Cardiff, which she called “wonderful.”

Good. Keep the pitbulls out of Leucadia.
ReplyDeleteMs. Sandlin is truly a delicate flower.
ReplyDeleteWill be waiting for the reporting from Cardiff's new bite path.
good riddance, f anyone who endorses these beasts. get a shotgun and stash it at your house if you're worried about home security, like a normal person

Awwww. Its not there fault that they attach and kill people. They were bread to be killers.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is some people like this lady think bred killers by DNA can act like sweet lap dogs just because they think they should act that way. So many humans are complete idiots!
* sorry grammar police. bred. I don't typically proof blog posts, and siri messes up lots of words.
ReplyDeleteI would place blame on property management or the property owner. They rented to her. That is, unless she lied about having those types of dogs. After all, she was from O.B...
ReplyDelete"where the debris meets the sea"
A little known fact. Homeowners insurance is not available for people that own certain types of dogs. This type is one of those. My gut tells me she lied on the application.
She refers to one of her pet as "timid". That's a shade away from "fearful" and that raises my red flag. A dog in fear will defend itself, and bite. I had some friends who raised a pit from a pup and socialized it like crazy. Raised around kids, cats, and other dogs, then one day, a new kid came over, and the dog bit her. Yes, any dog can bite but pits are another matter. Almost every month you read about this breed turning on its owner. Again, not always pits, but 80% of the time, yes. Good luck to the new neighbors in Cardiff. You're gonna need it.
ReplyDeleteDumb.
ReplyDeleteControlled studies show bully breeds are no more likely to harm or bite than other dogs.
There is no breed called Pit Bull. It’s a catch all for a bunch of bully breeds.
Ever watch the Little Rascals? What was Pete the Pup? At that time, bullys were considered wonderful pets, which is why he was chosen.
We have a long history of stigmatizing different breeds. Go back through movies and TV and you’ll see that in the sixties, the Doberman was the tough breed to be feared. In the seventies, it was the German Shepherd’s turn. Briefly in the 80’s every movie with a scary dog had a Rottweiler. St. Bernards briefly got a bad wrap after the movie Cujo came out.
Every time popular media picks a bad dog, owners with bad intentions seek out that dog. To the extent that any of these breeds deserve a bad reputation, it’s down to self-fulfilling prophesy, and bad owners.
this post is too moronic for my brain to even comprehend. your studies line is completely wrong according to every US statistic (police, FBI, independent sources). owning a pitbull skyrockets the chance of someone getting attacked by your dog by a huge percentage

Wikipedia? No thanks.

>It should also be considered that the incidence of pit bull-type dogs' involvement in severe and fatal attacks may represent high prevalence in neighborhoods that present high risk to the young children who are the most common victim of severe or fatal attacks. And as owners of stigmatized breeds are more likely to have involvement in criminal and/or violent acts46—breed correlations may have the owner's behavior as the underlying causal factor.
ReplyDeletethis study is complete garbage. some german shepard drawing blood on a kid's hand is a far cry from these shtheads literally eating babies. chalking up all dog incidents of "dog aggression" will obviously hide pitbulls considering most americans are sane and own controllable animal breeds
Not garbage.
DeleteThe point is, the problem is the owners.
If you bad one breed, popular culture will elevate a different breed into the same role, and the bad owners will gravitate to that new breed. The cycle repeats infinitely.
It’s not the breed that’s the root cause, it’s a subset of the owners who selected the breed with bad intentions, and who actually want their dog to be menacing.
Consider that nearly all of Michael Vick’s fighting dogs were rehabilitated with proper training at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, and were adopted as family pets without a single problem from that group of severely abused dogs. They lived the rest of their lives as happy and beloved family pets.
Dogs are amazingly adaptable. After what those dogs had been through, it’s unimaginable that they would ever trust and bond normally with a human owner—and yet somehow they did.
How do you explain that?
Listen, if you raise pitbulls right they will be sweethearts. but if you raise it wrong it's a monster. if you mess up raising a yellow lab the worst it will do is maybe draw blood on your hands or ankle. pitbulls will kill people. think about it like guns. I'd be fine if I had a veteran neighbor who had a bazooka, but as a rational society we realized that egregiously powerful weapons should be banned blanketly (is that a word?). pitbulls are bazookas and a rottweiler would be an AR 15. we can debate whether AR 15s should be illegal, or just put it to a straight referendum, but pitbulls and bazookas are a no brainer to outlaw completely. I'm sorry but get a gd dn gun or a german shepard if you want security. saying the pitbull as a breed is a precious snowflake is disingenuous drivel. all this "compassion for animals" is cop-out sublimation. you want to be a good person, volunteer on the weekends. donate to local charities. it's this combined with thugs who are too big of pussies to hit the gym or box and want to bully people.
DeleteIf you ban pits, which would be based on appearance alone, as pit bull isn’t a breed, then the bad owners will move on to mastiffs. Ban mastiffs and they will get chows. Ban chows and they will get Rottweilers. Ban Rottys and they will get German Shepards.
DeleteHow many cycles of this would it take before you suspected the humans are the problem?
The AVMA summary of studies makes several points ignored by the poster (12:50 am; 11:49 pm) who minimizes the dangers of pit bulls. The AVMA summary makes clear that breed is not "solely" the cause of bites (but the summary in fact acknowledges that "breed is a factor"). More importantly, as hinted at by 11:17 pm, pit bills don't just nip you; they maul you. The AVMA summary seems to agree: "If you consider only the much smaller number of cases that resulted in very severe injuries or fatalities, pit bull-type dogs are more frequently identified." So, the AVMA summary is kind of lukewarm; it doesn't prove much in either direction. But we all know what we see in real life. Just watch how aggressively even the socialized pit bulls carry themselves. These dogs are like jacked-up meatheads looking for any excuse to brawl. Again, good riddance to the dog and its owner....
