Babies and pit bulls!

sorry you were forced to get rid of her, but it may be for the best. an abused dog could snap, or it could be fine you never know. the point is, why would you take that risk with the most important person in your life, someone who is totally dependent on you, your son. get a puppy, raise it right. dogs are great for kids ...

a 4 month old is a puppy. So for you to sit there and say that means absolutely nothing. That puppy is just as dependent as my son is. It knows nothing of the world but the bad and abuse its had to endure.

I don't know where the animosity is coming from but an abused dog may not be the best to have around your son, puppy or not. Give her to a nice home without a baby where she'll be loved and taken care of, and you can get a puppy/dog with no history of abuse and your son will grow up with a great friend...

sorry for coming at you like that im just pissed about the whole situation. regardless if the dog has history of abuse or not a dog can still snap at any. when i was a child and got bitten by my dads chow she had no history of abuse or even attacking people but something triggered in her head and she bit me on my face and neck. if my dad wasnt sitting five feet away from us she would have killed me.

I'm sorry but dogs do not bite for no reason. I'm not trying to say what happened to you wasn't serious but some dogs are food aggressive, toy aggressive, territorial, etc and maybe the dog was warning you but you didn't know. Dogs have subtle tells, like their tails drop or stops wagging or their stare changes.

Abused dogs can be fine with small kids but only if the owner is well experienced in dogs

Hello; Even if you are prone to dismiss the information, it may well be worth a look at the website I posted earlier. If they have their facts right there is a disturbing trend in the number of attacks by pit bulls over other dog breeds. The group young childred pictured that have been victims was enough to give me pause. I looked over a few of the articles and would not want a child around a number of dogs, but for sure not around a pit bull. It does not seem possible to be able to keep a close enough watch on a child and a dog at all times.
I cannot picture how having any dog is worth the chance, no matter how random or remote, of an attack on a child.
It may be that the dog being gone is the best thing.

Yep also keep your children away from playgrounds, sports, and school. Hell i rather have my dogs watch my kids rather then some of these people.

The number one thing is don't leave the child unattended, and don't put the baby on the floor around the dog. Just keep in mind that these animals no matter how much we love them do have the ability to kill a small child, even accidently. That being said just be responsible and everything should go smoothly. Pits and mixed bully breeds are wonderful dogs and can be great with kids. But also ask yourself if you'll still have time for the dog, they do get jealous.

Your right I might triggered what happened maybe not . I was so young I really don't remember everything that happened that day.

My best friend has a pit and a small child (less than 6 months) and the dog couldn't be more caring... Our daughter was around his previous pit many times, even sleeping in her bed!

I don't think it's the breed, it's the owners and past history/treatment.

I had a german shepherd that was great around our daughter. I trusted him 100%... RIP buddy
