Unless they (dachshunds) trip you then you might be in some trouble.
I wonder how many dachshunds it would take to equal a pitbull ?

I'll be sure to keep a sharp eye on my Jack Russell Terrier - never can tell what she might do!Bicycle Bill wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:50 pmThe 'official' name of the pit bull is the American pit bull terrier. By extension, then, EVERY form of terrier — a dog bred to be wiry, game, and fearless, originally intended to hunt and harass vermin — are suspect ... even those fluffy dust-mops that lost their handles, a/k/a Yorkies. You never know when a group of those little rascals might turn rogue and attack the baby.

Thanks for posting that piece, which I read along with the companion followup that addressed the insane responses from rabid pitbull advocates.TPFKA@W wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 4:25 pmHere ya go! https://www.thestranger.com/seattle/how ... id=3708968

For all the naysayers in this thread talking about how statistically rare it is to be killed by a dog attack, do you love your dogs that you walk and would you like to watch them torn apart and killed by an aggressive dog? Look up the stats on THAT.I was visiting Seattle over the weekend and found a copy of The Stranger and read the article "How To Defeat Someone Made Furious....Pitbull" This is my true story: on June 8, 2009 my two dogs and I set out on our daily 1 1/2 hour walk up in the hills by my house. This is the same path, by the same houses I have done for many, many years. Only, this morning we were viciously attacked by a pit bull who charged out of an open door. 90 lbs. Smokey, the Pit went for Goldy, my 14 yr old male Chow/Shepherd, all 45 lbs of him. My screams of distress brought out 16 neighbors, some from 2 streets over. Upon realizing the the pit's owner had no control over her dog, I tried to pull him off, lifted his back legs, hit him, etc., to no avail. I pleaded for someone to get me a hammer, shovel, knife, brick, anything I could use to stop the dog from killing my dog. Yes, I would have killed the pit. Blood, fur and tissue were flying from Goldy's face, neck and head injuries and I shall never forget the fear in my elderly dog's eyes as he fought for his life. This went on for 10 minutes. No one would assist in supplying me a weapon and by the time my old Goldy fell, overpowered and exhausted, on his back, the pit went in for the kill; the now unprotected jugular vein. I could no longer look and asked the 'big guy in the sky' to make it quick. I could not bear to watch the end. I am told that out of nowhere, the pit owner's adult son uncrossed his arms and got over Smokey and pulled or spread his lips apart from his cheek area and the grip was released. Goldy got up and ran, limped home with me and my Weimerimer 2 year old girl puppy running, sobbing behind. Goldy survived minus his ear that couldn't be saved and 1 month in the hospital and $2700 of medical bills. The pit owners did not pay and in fact, ran out on their rent. I now carry a knife, mace and a realization that weak, careless owners and agressive, territorial dogs are more common than I had previously known. I apprciated your article. When the attack is happening and you are weaponless, your suggestings might be the only chance you have to save your life, a child's, or in my case my old senior citizen Goldy. He is now 15 years old and continues to like nothing better than to take his daily walk up the hill. I hope this helps the ridiculous assholes understand it could happen to them. What would they do if confronted with this nightmare?

I'm sorry for you, BSG, that you feel that your life should be so sheltered and swaddled in cotton padding and bubble-wrap that absolutely nothing bad will ever happen to you. It just don't work that way.
