    1- Thank you on the socialization point. I agree completely that it is not common back home (the States) for us to socialize and properly train. Culturally, we are more into back yard on a chain. Not a criticism. Just a fact and the main contributing factor to dog misbehavior. As for the...

    Seems like you are the one who is triggered LOL:
  3. Which GT350 would you buy?

    Upgraded engine (R-type engine) and upgraded (tuning-wise) suspension are the primary factors. May want to glance at the thread about list of changes for 2019 https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/list-of-changes-to-the-2019-gt350.136944/.

    Huh? Is that like, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
  5. It was a good day...... it was a bad day..... almost a disaster

    @Tomster , what was the build date on the tire?
  6. Which GT350 would you buy?

    Humble 2 cents: owned a 2016 and now a 2019. No break in between. So, have had a GT350 continuously since April 2016. Recommend the 2019.

    Haha. Talking points? That's a good one. Talking points of for politicians (a profession I have little time for, to put it mildly). I guess I can use the talking points to run for local dog catcher :) LOL. Anyway, thanks for the laugh. I admire your sense of humor. Sounds like the Supreme...

    Roman war dogs trace back best to Cane Corso. Closest breed in contemporary times is the mastiff. Mastiffs are not part of the pitbull strain, which links to terriers. So, what's your point? And that picture has no pitbull in it.

    Where, geographically do the majority of these incidents happen? Who, as a majority, owns these animals and under what conditions do they occur? To each his own. Science and facts be damned.

    That is the point. We still refer to old techniques and data to train dogs and rationalize their behavior. To stop a dog from killing chickens you socialize it. If you want to talk off the open internet, I can provide tips, personal experience and examples. Here's a search that has nothing to do...

    Per the links you provided, pitbulls are by definition a cross-breed. So, what is a purebred pitbull would be the first question. Second, what is called pitbulls were bred for hunting and farm work when they came to the U.S. So, how is that accounted for? Additionally, a hunting dog may have a...

    I don't disagree. This is true of the terrier strain. Other strains (mastiff, in particular) are not in that category. Additionally, it is not thousands of years (Victorian era is 1800s-early 1900s). Bullbaiting goes back to 1700s. Finally, although the sad tradition of dog fighting still...

    Best race of the season so far.

    That was a beautiful dog. Sorry that you lost him the way you did. It's sometimes hard to condition dogs that have a high prey drive or roam. Fortunately, the training techniques have improved a lot, and it's much easier than it used to be. For example, we've learned that dominance is not as...

    Wasn't commenting on your specific dog ownership or training experience. Have no reason to doubt it. I think a dog training requirement would be a long road, just like getting rid of puppy mills is a long road. At least with the latter, the country has been making progress over the last couple...

    It's not a false equivalency. If someone owns something that is potentially dangerous but controllable, it does not mean that item should be banned. It means the owner should be responsible. Regarding dogs, I've been training them for a long time, and I cannot find any proof of a dangerous...

    I get your point, but the leash analogy reinforces the gun analogy. What type of guns are used for mass shootings? Is it the gun or the shooter? What percentage of pitbulls never harm anyone? What types of dogs cause the greatest number of injuries (not pitbulls). So, there would have to be a...
