According to smidt@milou.cd.chalmers.se (Peter Smidt): >1. Where could you buy a Pit Bull cub, I doubt you could get it from any > ordinary kennel society? If all you want is a run-of-the-mill Pit Bull, a kennel society will have it. But for a real man's Pit Bull, with X-ray eyes and radioactive fangs, Brand X Industries is your only choice. >2. Which are the different races the Pit Bull is 'composed' of, > and in which proportions is the Pit Bull made from the other races? It's mostly PSU student, with some BIFF and Portal, with a touch of Oleg Kiselev and Clay Bond for sheer malice. >3. Are the real name Pit Bull or should it be Pet Bull Terrier, and where > do the name come from? Actually, they prefer to be called "Mr. Pit Bull, Sir." >5. Why are the Pit Bull so aggressive. Common terriers are not considered > any dangerous. Is their any biological explanation? I doesn't knows about others, but my Pit Bull are agressive when I uses incorrect verbs. >6. Is it possibly to train such an aggresive dog, like the Pit Bull > to be a watch dog and just not a 'attack' dog? I think not. The last time I tried to use my Pit Bull as a watch dog, it ate my watch. >7. Could you under any circumstances have children play with a Pit Bull? Only if it's dead. >8. Could you consider a dog to be evil, this one would certainly fit > the description? No. What's evil is a mind-bogglingly stupid dog owner who cross-posts pet articles to talk.bizarre. >9. How much do Pit Bulls differ from dobermans in dangerousness (on a > scale from 1 to 100, where a doberman count as 20 and a wild tiger > counts as 100)? I'd rate mine about 80 on a scale of 100. Compare with 90 for a PSU student with Usenet privileges. >10. Do they attack without barking, or do they just snarl when attacking > (like the doberman)? My Pit Bull does a karate yell. But then, like I said, I got my Pit Bull from Brand X Industries, so he's not quite...normal. >11. What are their physical strength compared to a doberman (or any other > similar dog)? My Pit Bull bites the tops off beer bottles. I just wish he would wait for me to stop drinking when he does that. >12. Do you need a license to have a trained Pit Bull? No, but you should need a license to post to Usenet. >13. Are they 'forbidden' in any states? Anyone in a state of confusion should not have a Pit Bull. >14. How big are they (weight, lenght)? Bigger than a breadbox. >15. Are they god at hearing and smelling? Pit Bulls are powerful, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them "gods." >Enough from me, for this time. You got that right, Bo. -- Chip, the new t.b answer man <chip%tct@ateng.com>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip>
