| 424237 | 2006-01-25 22:08:00 | I could fight off a poodle, No matter how angry. Not my mothers standard poodle you couldn't. He's bigger than my labs and looks like a Rastafarian when he hasn't had a hair cut for a while. And no my mum doesn't get his hair cut like those ponsy ones you see around with pompoms etc :eek: |

| 424238 | 2006-01-25 22:17:00 | If your neighbor has a bitbill dog, feed it up with chocolate bars, when the owner is not looking. Sorry got the day of work with leg injuryMove next door to us then ... we'll see what happens when you feed our Pit X Incidentally, Ive seen other mongrel breeds do more damage than him Any other stereotypical cockhead comments you wanna make? |

| 424239 | 2006-01-25 22:25:00 | You would be in an evil mood too if you had a haircut like that -Qyiet FYI: . . . . . . . that silly hairdo is for a purpose . . . they were very good retrievers for duck hunting and the pom poms on the feet made them better swimmers . . . the tufts on the head make them easier to see as is the puff on the tail . That way the hunters would not confuse them with game birds and ducks . All in all, they are very loyal and affectionate hunting breeds . I don't own one, don't want to, but they are a good breed if trained well enough . Pit bulls, on the other hand are bred just to kill and hunt for themselves . They are outlawed here in most of the US in town/cities with certain sized populations . . and if one attacks, there is no question but to put it down and severly fine and/or imprison the owner . Insurance companies WILL NOT place one on a policy, even spayed or neutered . They just cannot be trusted . There may be those who are loyal to the breed as at the time they have not caused mayhem to the owner or his family . They are just a time-bomb waiting to go off . I have a neighbor who is the local animal control officer for this city and he FEARS them and their powerfull and locking bite and the ability to stand tremendous pain and electrical shock to quell them . Sorry if that offends . . . but the local ASPCA says there are two kinds of pitbulls: Those who have maimed and killed, and those who haven't yet . |

| 424240 | 2006-01-25 22:38:00 | shoot it Yes a bullet would be cheaper than a few chocolate bars but would not go down in town quite so well. Chocolate will give a dog a heart attack. |

| 424241 | 2006-01-25 22:41:00 | needles for teeth and bad hair, never a good combo . Sounds like a few I've dated in the past :eek: But, yes I have to agree . . . nasty little things . I've also been snapped at by terriers, fluffy family collies . . . the small ones are the worst . I have also had a Rottie who was very placid (and well trained), but when people hear the type of dog they automaticly think the worst . Pit bulls do scare me thouhg and there is no denying the disproportionate number of attacks by them in NZ . |

| 424242 | 2006-01-25 22:50:00 | Yes a bullet would be cheaper than a few chocolate bars but would not go down in town quite so well . Chocolate will give a dog a heart attack . Not a heart attack: The truth is chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities . This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline . The good news is that it takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction . Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration . On average, Milk chocolate contains 44 mg of theobromine per oz . Semisweet chocolate contains 150mg/oz . Baker's chocolate 390mg/oz . Using a dose of 100 mg/kg as the toxic dose it comes out roughly as: 1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate 1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate 1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate . So, for example . . . . . . . . . . . 2 oz . of Baker's chocolate can cause great risk to a 15 lb . dog . Yet . . . . . . . . . 2 oz . of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems . Xanthines affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system and peripheral nerves . It has a diuretic effect as well . Clinical signs: Hyper excitability Hyper irritability Increased heart rate Restlessness Increased urination Muscle tremors Vomiting Diarrhea There is no specific antidote for this poisoning . The half life of the toxin is 17 . 5 hours in dogs . Induce vomiting in the first 1-2 hours if the quantity is unknown . Administering activated charcoal may inhibit absorption of the toxin . An anticonvulsant might be indicated if neurological signs are present and needs to be controlled . Oxygen therapy, intravenous medications, and fluids might be needed to protect the heart from circulatory losses via the vessels . Milk chocolate will often cause diarrhea 12-24 hours after ingestion . This should be treated symptomatically (fluids, etc . . ) to prevent dehydration . If you suspect your pet has ingested chocolate contact your Vet immediately! They can help you determine the the proper treatment for your pet . |

| 424244 | 2006-01-25 23:20:00 | I hardly think poisoning (or shooting) a dog is appropriate advice and is also illegal. If you have a complaint, let it be handled through the correct channels. You should do this as soon as possible if you have suffered injuries from the bite. | Jen (38) | ||
| 424245 | 2006-01-25 23:27:00 | So, feed the owner chocolate bars when the pitbull isn't looking. | Graham L (2) | ||
