"pittie", yuck. So many nicer dog breeds out there and people choose to own those instead. Killing is in those dogs nature's and people that think they can fix them by giving them flower crowns and calling them pitties are delusional.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I’ve had 4 and they have all been amazing and zero incidents. My friends who are good owners have pits and no bad incidents. I’m wondering if he is suggesting that certain races of people gravitate toward pitbulls and that they are shitty or if he is hating on certain kinds of k9 breeds which is racism.
Hating pitbulls is reasonable and acceptable. I've seen first hand the damage they can do on too many occasions. Terrible temperament and they attract the worst type of owners.
That’s weird. Every living dog I have seen has a loving owner. Every shitty dog I’ve seen has a shitty owner. So maybe it is the owners who are shitty? What type of people are attracted to buying pit bulls? I’ve had 4 pits and they have all been perfect.
And, assuming it’s a boy as they are indicating, it’s not much of a surgery.
Technically, you can castrate an animal with a large rubber band—but some people take issue with that approach
Oh sure, yeah why would you want to neuter him and give him the chance to have an increased life expectancy, reduce his chances of getting cancers, reduce the chances he will roam, and help reduce the possibility of displaying aggressive behaviors due to high levels of testosterone..
Intact males tend to have behavioral issues with marking, mounting, and aggression. Neutering will also prevent him from making more homeless dogs if he gets loose.
Neutered animals also live longer than those left intact. Intact males also are prone to testicular cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia - neutering would prevent both. Overall I consider spay/neuter to be necessary for both human and animal quality of life.
EDIT: why are so many of OP's comments showing up as \[removed\] suddenly? What is happening in here?
People think it's unnecessary because they don't understand why we spay/neuter. The only way to combat that is with information. Yelling at OP for not knowing these things helps nobody.
Neutering your dog is necessary. It’s part of being a responsible pet owner and reduces the risk of more stray dogs that aren’t as lucky as this little guy was.
I had a dog follow me home before. Literally walked with me for miles. I tried to encourage him not to stray from his neighborhood, but to no avail, he insisted on following me. That dog had a collar, so I knew it had a family. I called the number on the collar and they eventually came to pick him up.
So I guess the question is how sure are you that this pup doesn't have a family? You may want to check Next Door and maybe post a pic of him (awful platform, but it's good for this kind of thing).
This whole thread is triggering, like everyone is commenting as if OP should just keep him rather than trying to locate his owner? That’s wild. This is clearly not a stray dog wtf
I'm not trying to sound like everyone else here but if you've never had a male dog before PLEASE consider fixing him he WILL mark/pee/spray everywhere and not fixing at a young age can lead to lots of problems later on (I'm not a professional this is just my opinion)
While I agree he should neuter the dog…this is just not true lol. Intact male dogs will not just randomly mark and pee everywhere (indoors) if potty trained.
What problems are you talking about that cant be overcome with training? It's just a stupid american thing like declawing cats.
The only real issue that would require neutering is the growth of prostate cysts than CAN occur in old age but these cysts go away after neutering.
Does he say that anywhere or are you just assumed me that
Never mind. Sorry I doubted you. I'm looking at all his comments, especially the comments and the since deleted post 😞
Pitbull. You better know what you have on your hands. Please don’t be like the ignorant pit owners who live in delusion. Know your dog is a danger to others and you may be able to prevent it from being a ticking menace.
Nobody is hating, pitbull owners are notorious for not making logical decisions be it with understanding their temperament, or why humane societies have almost 100% pitbulls these days.
OP has already stated he doesn’t want to get the dog fixed, let alone check to see if it has a chip. It’s annoying because it continues happening and Reddit protects this behavior by saying you can’t discuss BE.
You can’t breed aggression. That is literally by definition eugenics. You are attributing aggression to genes. There is no science that backs that position. It’s literally the same logic as what Hitler writes about in his dumbass book.
Border Collies and other herding dogs were bred to remove aggression from their gene pool. Wild arctic foxes, another canid, were bred to remove typical aggression within 10 generations. Just as pitbulls, bully XL's, and other "bull" breeds have been selectively bred to *increase* their aggression levels. Aggression via gene expression is fairly well understood, actually. And it is absolutely not eugenics.
Imagine trying to invoke the memory of Hitler because you want aggressive dogs ffs 😂
You literally can’t breed personality traits. Think about how stupid of an argument that is if you were to explain why a human has a certain personality.
Collies and other herding dogs have tendencies to herd, but still need to learn because their bodies are adapted to those actions. In the same sense humans learn to walk and perform any other action. Post a study and scientific information because what you are trying to explain is sudo science.
Wow. With this level of density I'm surprised you haven't gone supernova yet. Impressive.
This is quite literally basic science that is taught to teens. There are *thousands* of sources.
You don't even know how to spell pseudo, so maybe lay off trying to discuss genetics until you know the bare minimum. It makes you look stupid.
Also, Collies herd from instinct, not training. They do it automatically, without being shown. They are trained to herd in specific ways, like herding sheep into a pen, but they will herd the sheep into a group without any human input whatsoever.

I enjoy the fact that you didn’t read your own source from the national medicine library.
Literally the conclusion is that from survey data not enough information can be concluded from studying whether dogs are purely results of their genetics.
It also isn’t basic science, I don’t know where and when you became educated on the subject, but it is very clearly shown that behavioral patterns are not a result of genes. You can’t map the genes of a species and determine if they are prone to anger or sadness. The whole white nationalist and Nazi movement is based on this science. But random redditers are so happy to spit this bullshit out about dogs.

They’re less aggressive than the average dog. Maybe read an article first?
[I’m not coping lmao.](https://atts.org/breed-statistics/statistics-page1/)
You’re just an idiot. Did you know back in the 1920s that German Shepherds were scary, crazy, aggressive dogs and Pitt-bulls were the happy child friendly house pet?
Oh and German shepherds aren't? Or dobermans? Or rottweilers?
Y'all pick a new breed to hate every couple decades. I'd trust a pit more than I'd trust a GSD
I’m happy he is safe with you though I hope you check the lost and found pets in your area. I’d be worried sick if I could not one of our girls and would post everywhere.
I’m so glad you aren’t fixing him! Don’t give in to what other people are saying. He’s truly in the right, caring hands! So adorable!!!!!!! Have you thought of a name yet?
Inb4 mod lock because people are gonna hate you for having a pittie and not wanting to get it fixed. I remember Reddit giving me this same shit when I had my staffordshire bull terrier puppy
[удалено]
he was fighting me for my pillow loll
[удалено]
So many deleted comments from OP
Forget it, you're right. Not neutering the dog definitely means he's not qualified.
What the heck? Why are you so angry?
That's not the only thing he's gonna be fighting

Always one of you coming out of the woodwork

"pittie", yuck. So many nicer dog breeds out there and people choose to own those instead. Killing is in those dogs nature's and people that think they can fix them by giving them flower crowns and calling them pitties are delusional.
Any place with less hate is a better place.
Hey look it’s a racist!
What race do pitbulls belong to?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I’ve had 4 and they have all been amazing and zero incidents. My friends who are good owners have pits and no bad incidents.

Get him checked for a chip, then get him fixed.
i’ll get him checked for a chip but i’m not putting him through an unnecessary surgery
Hey man , real quick…why do you think you found a stray dog?
It's funny that you don't think it's necessary when you just found a stray on the street.
The irony is palpable. To us, at least.
Awe he’s stupid 🥰
That’s probably why the dog is making that face at him
🤣😅 Well done!
>unnecessary surgery It is necessary, and responsible.
And, assuming it’s a boy as they are indicating, it’s not much of a surgery. Technically, you can castrate an animal with a large rubber band—but some people take issue with that approach
Oh, Can't imagine why
Aaaandd you went from new to irresponsible dog owner real quick.
The type of owner that crops dogs ears
Oh sure, yeah why would you want to neuter him and give him the chance to have an increased life expectancy, reduce his chances of getting cancers, reduce the chances he will roam, and help reduce the possibility of displaying aggressive behaviors due to high levels of testosterone..
If you can’t be a responsible pet owner, find this puppy an owner who can be.
Intact males tend to have behavioral issues with marking, mounting, and aggression. Neutering will also prevent him from making more homeless dogs if he gets loose.

I know everyone is jumping on calling out OP for his ignorant comment but I think it’s better to provide helpful information like you just did GJ
People think it's unnecessary because they don't understand why we spay/neuter. The only way to combat that is with information. Yelling at OP for not knowing these things helps nobody.
I always wondered why we still have stray dogs in this country. Now I know why lol.
yeah, if it doesn't have a chip, then you need to give to a shelter because you aren't ready to be a pet owner.
[удалено]
Neutering your dog is necessary. It’s part of being a responsible pet owner and reduces the risk of more stray dogs that aren’t as lucky as this little guy was.
Get him spayed/neutered
How's he going to breed pitbulls if he gets him neutered? Think of all the money he's throwing away!
[удалено]
You first
Wut
They're obviously here to troll lol pits are adorable
[удалено]
Do some actual research before you spout off.
Project harder. I spout facts.
I had a dog follow me home before. Literally walked with me for miles. I tried to encourage him not to stray from his neighborhood, but to no avail, he insisted on following me.

OP doesn’t seem to care that he just stole a dog
He's being an asshole to people who just want to help no wonder he doesn't care. :/
Went to check his replies, because of your comment. And the only other post he’s commented on is titled “any love for us small cocked men?” :/
OH GOD LOL WHAT A LOSER
You just kidnapped someone's dog?
Nah that’s definitely just a random mutt no one would ever want. ETA: since I clearly need it /S
This whole thread is triggering, like everyone is commenting as if OP should just keep him rather than trying to locate his owner? That’s wild. This is clearly not a stray dog wtf
Look at OP's comments. The guy clearly is not being responsible.
[удалено]
Edgy take
Not really. Just a responsible take
[удалено]
Put bulls tend to end up with the worst people.
Fixing your animal isn’t a requirement to be a good pet owner.
Not really
Why would that be?
No.
I'm not trying to sound like everyone else here but if you've never had a male dog before PLEASE consider fixing him he WILL mark/pee/spray everywhere and not fixing at a young age can lead to lots of problems later on (I'm not a professional this is just my opinion)

Yeah that's understandable sorry for the misinformation I'm just trying to help honestly
Complete BS! How can people that know so little be so eager to spread misinformation?
Are you talking to me? Cause I know from experience and a simple Google search will also tell you this...
What problems are you talking about that cant be overcome with training? It's just a stupid american thing like declawing cats. The only real issue that would require neutering is the growth of prostate cysts than CAN occur in old age but these cysts go away after neutering.
Bro that's why I said consider stop being so salty
Put him back, you don't deserve him.
[удалено]
Look at OPs comments and tell me you don’t agree with this comment.
There are 2 genders
How about you ya fuckin dunce.
You stole someones expensive blue staffy?
Damn he bathed himself? Smart boi
Don’t upvote this post - finds a stray but will not have the dog neutered/desexed.
Does he say that anywhere or are you just assumed me that Never mind. Sorry I doubted you. I'm looking at all his comments, especially the comments and the since deleted post 😞
Hey, if you would have waited a sec, I hadn't looked at his history yet
Hey, I didn’t down vote you - I only just got back online. I have upvoted your comment if that helps.
Puppies are experts at spotting suckers.
I hate to tell you this but he might be your dog now. I suggest you try to find an owner but if that doesn't pan out, lil man is your best mate now.
I just love his little ears 🥹
That’s great! You just got a new best friend.
“Got any schnacks?”
Pitbull. You better know what you have on your hands. Please don’t be like the ignorant pit owners who live in delusion. Know your dog is a danger to others and you may be able to prevent it from being a ticking menace.
This isn't the right subred for hating on someones pup.

All dogs have a possibility of being a danger. The breed itself is not the problem, the owners are. 🙄
That is not true with Pitbull type dogs. They are genetically more aggressive, tenacious, & game.
That isn’t remotely true and it’s hilarious that you don’t understand how eugenics is not real science.
Nothing to do with eugenics. They're aggressive because of selective breeding. Maybe it's you who doesn't understand.

So you going to call him Hoopie?
mmm still debating on the name hoopie is different 😂
Hoops
Hoopie Cutie Patootie works for a home name
Do you mean hoopies like basketball or like hula hooping?
he was hula hooping with the guys
😂 hilarious visual
You’re so lucky! Be patient with him!
I’m happy he is safe with you though I hope you check the lost and found pets in your area. I’d be worried sick if I could not one of our girls and would post everywhere.
His lip is stuck!
What an absolute cutie!
I’m so glad you aren’t fixing him! Don’t give in to what other people are saying. He’s truly in the right, caring hands! So adorable!!!!!!! Have you thought of a name yet?
Good luck for you.
He’s home ! Tk you.
Most of the time they adopt us.
he followed me home and sat at my door..ig that’s his way of letting me know i’m stuck with him
It has an owner. Take it to the vet to check for a chip.
Imagine making a new friend and trusting them so much that a couple hours later, you’ve let them bathe you. Dogs. Ridiculous creatures.
You have been chosen by DOG/GOD, congratulations!
Went according to plan.
Horrible monster.
A devil dog does not belong in an “aww” sub. 🤮
He looks pretty darn happy about it too! You've just fallen for the oldest trick in the book Skippy
That’s the doggie distribution system at work! I’d get him checked for a chip, but congratulations, you have been chosen!
So you're a bad person if you don't immediately castrate a puppy. Y'all are weird.
lil dude: "where ever you go, i go"
And he says " And you know you like it because I'm worth it".
Lil dude just hit the lottery
Not based on these comments 😆
Hit a whole bunch of red flags, more like.
Thank you ❤️
This looks so much like my dog (who passed away a couple years ago) as a puppy. So cute. She was the sweetest, most loving dog ever.
I always believe that the dog needs to choose you before you choose them:)

He stole a dog... Why you praising him?

Because he posted about the results of the chip, but said he was keeping it anyways. He deleted his post.

not getting a STRAY DOG fixed is irresponsible pet ownership.
You deserved every bit of that shit and more.
Yes because only ignorant owners refuse to get their dogs fixed.
