Cory "Mr. Stitches" Hey Cory, here's for you...

My dog, Zoe, bit me in the face. The bite was limited to my upper lip but took about 100 stitches to repair (mostly on the inside). I got three days off work, 5 days worth of antibiotics and a good measure of vicodin.
Zoe, on the other hand, got a good meal of her favorite canned dog food the next day and then a ride in the truck - back to the humane society where she was not made available for re-adoption.
Those that knew Zoe know she was a very good dog with a lot of personality. Also very stubborn and defiant... but that was the breeding (pit bull, chow, german shepard, lab). She had a full range of emotions and would communicate them well. It was weird and kind of scary sometimes. I raised her from 3 1/2 months to almost 2 years old. But, in the end, she forgot her place.
Shine(r), my boxer, is still adjusting to not having her around. I guess we all are.

That sucks dude, I have two Pitbulls and the trick is to let them know who's boss. I don't beat my dogs or anything like that but when I wrestle with them I show them who's the alfa male. You can take it to the point that it doesn't hurt them but let them know their order in the pack!

Don't reduce this to a "Pitbull attack"... that's not what it is and its not helpful to further malign the breed. Zoe was not a simple pitbull and cannot be judged accordingly. She was a potentially dangerous crossbreed of several potentially dangerous dogs- Chow, Pitbull, and German Shepard. I like to think the Lab mellowed the mix slightly.
I spent Zoe's entire life working on getting her over her defensive aggressive nature. If she felt threathened she was ready to bite. Submission work was a large part... but not the part that mattered the most. What mattered was teaching her that I was not going to hurt her if she was in a compromised position. Towards the end, she was getting very good about not snapping or showing fear when not warranted.

Verdad Gallardo Sorry to hear that Cory. That's a lot of work to put in on a sketchy mix. I have a chow/akita mix that I rescued but he's very docile. He must have been beat in the past cuz if you move real quick and he's not expecting it he drops to his belly instantly and lays down like he's about to get beat.

Sorry to hear about this Cory. Zoe was always a great dog when I was around. Playfull and fun.
ANY dog can snap one day and I agree it is not a "pitbull" thing either. Heal up and I hope things go well!

Doesn't matter what the breed is, dogs can bite. I wish pitbull was never mentioned in this thread, as well as the German shepard, chow and akita (although I admit I'm a little more worried about those breeds than I would be a pit.) The Lab breed in her bites more people than the others.
That said sorry to hear about your loss and the injury, that sucks
At least you have the lovable yet PITA boxer to make you smile. (I have a 3 year old male)

Sorry to hear that Cory. I have been wanting to get either a pitbull or boxer puppy soon. That's really sad that you got bit by a dog you owned for 2 years . And hey, if you call it an American Staffordshire Terrier then people won't hold their prejudices

Its very, VERY hard to make the choice you made. I come off like a freeken know it all too often and I dont mean to. Im from north by-god merritt Island florida and I grew up with dogs,..........pit bulls to be spicific, the best dog I ever had in a long life full of all kinds of dogs was a colby pit bull. some 20 years ago. not two years ago I was forced to look the same dicission in the eyes and put a stone killer down I did not raise the dog but I hoped I could save him. He had absolutly NO hesitation in him he would go right for ANYTHING under three feet tall after a series of bad things I had to do what was right for him and the rest of the planet,.... it damn near killed me. Im glad you got the vicodin!
