You don't know what the dog saw or felt before he attacked your other dog. Just because you saw it doesn't mean you really "saw it." Usually when a dog is submissive to another dog they stay that way. I can understand that the incident scared you and even understand your caution but I think you have made a judgment over the entire breed by this incident. I have known many pits who were gentle their entire lives. I think there was more going on in your dogs sight than just the fact that he was a pit.

All kidding aside, it is nice that you admitted your judgment error and also that you were willing to eat that crow and share it with your blog readers. By doing this you may have helped to prevent someone else from going through this. Nice blog.

It may have just been he was tired of being submissive or as you said he just snapped. You don't tend to see this so much in mixed breed pits but full blooded ones it is very common. Sorry for your experience but thank you for sharing the lesson with your readers.

Her dog died though because the attack happened when she was in the house. She walked out to find the pittbull with her dauschound in its mouth shaking the dog like a rag doll. The two dogs had lived in the same house together for four years and had been buddies. My SIL had to get rid of the dog after it killed her doxie. I just don't think you can trust this breed of dog. They seem to be to unpredictable. I am glad your other dog is okay.

Keeping him would have been akin to child endangerment for your other kids knowing that he could attack like this. I think you definitely did the right thing under the circumstances.

Im so sorry about this because I know he was a part of your family and when I ever saw him he was always so very sweet. I hope that Spud (uh..my fave) heals quickly.

I am so sorry for the loss of your pit bull.
