The Nanny Dog (Interesting Pit Bull History)

[athorn]

Sorry, bumped the screen.  Pictures dont mean people left their kids in the care of dogs..  .

Bob, aftr reading my post, i saw where i didnt put dog owners. My post said the media n dog, but was suppose to have owner in there too. U say that IF dog owners did this n did that, the media wouldnt hav anything to report. Well IF a frog had wings, he bust his rump when he landed. If humans woulda done this or woulda done that, then maybe maybe maybe. I do agree dog owners should hav a good handle n so forth, but it just wont happen, say with anything else, the few bad apples spoil it for the rest.

Regardless of breed, no dog should be left alone with an infant.  I don't believe that pictures of dogs with children are any indication

So cur dogs won't bite ?  Any dog of any breed can bite , so if you worry bout the dog with kid don't leave it with them but I know my dogs Anit gonna do nothing but lick the kid mayb knock them over by accident

Periodically I read in the paper were some idiot left his kids with the dog while he went to score some meth or go to the bar, the end result being something goes horribly wrong while he is gone.  I can only imagine he thought about his nanny dog before he left.  I have a big bulldog that will injure my kids with his tail or drown them with drool, and I have culled some bulldogs that didn't act accordingly around the kids.  I just don't like the nanny dog bs, in most dog bite cases involving children, they were alone with the dog or not properly supervised with the dog.  Admiring pictures of kids and dogs is fine but furthering the myth that they were nanny dogs is a disservice to pit bulls and bulldogs.

 weel geez the politicaly correct squad strikes again . lets quit using the term nanny dog and start saying something else [ what i'm not sure ]  people didn't go off on meth hunts and out honky Tonkin and just leave their dogs in charge  lmao . but way back in the stone age for you nay sayers us children had dogs that watched us like a sheep dog watched a flock . they went everywhere we went ,  AND WE WENT EVERYWHERE  . my brother and i's  NANNY DOG was a collie / shepard  mix and if my mother saw the dog she knew we were close at hand . people didn't coddle their children back then and worry about them getting dirty  lol they went about the business of surviving and let the children run amuck under the gaurdionship of a faith full and  watch full canine .

Very well explained mr whitten.

Athorn, u say u read periodiclly that kids r left alone. If the cases u read of true, look at ur first sentence, meth/ drugs or bar hoping. Not all dogs r that way, they r just like humans in the aspect of they learn bad /dangerous habbits from their owners or parents and folks wonder why they act the way they do, its do in part by their environment

When I look threw old photos of me as a child you will not find a picture of me outside from the time I was born without the old collie by my side.  We lived in a neighbor hood in Dayton tx, and she made every steep I took.   In every photo she placed herself between me and the street. She would permit other children to play with me, but she allowed no rough housing.  No adults other than my parents were allowed within about 20 ft.  And my parents only spanked me inside where she was not allowed.   I can remember being 3-4 blocks from the house when I was 4 yrs old and knew I was going to get a whipping and would go in, because I new I couldn't be whipped outside.

You say in the end something went horribly wrong. I tell you what went horribly wrong. Your meth head decided he wanted one of them ghetto dogs and went out and found him a loose cannon. And how do you
know it was a myth that they were used for nanny dogs?  Man lighten up, Chit, It's just an old part of pit bull history.

I'd rather leave my grand daughter alone with any member of this site's  pit bull, than leave her with one of
them meth heads you speak of. Now, do you feel that statement is a disservice to pit bulls or a disservice
to meth heads ?

Exactly. Nicely spoken

I am just sitting at work, reading the forum in between calls.  I am not trying to offend any of you that were babysat by dogs as children or use dogs to babysit your children now.  That probably makes it easier to get a babysitter on a Friday night.
