Stockton's Signature ComplexUnfortunately, Pitbulls are Popular Here
Stockton has a lot of people who are in love with the American Pitbull as a breed, but my insurance agent doesn't want me to have one. Below is a very popular You Tube video of my Miniature Schnauzer (same as in my member photo) wrestling with a Pitbull pup. At the time, watching them play was great fun, but as the pitbull grew it became difficult to predict and harder to socialize. Given it's greater size and strength, we decided that the pitbull had to go, and since the neighbor was irresponsible, that's what animal control officers did one day. I haven't seen the dog since. Stockton animal control deals with so many stray dogs that their policy is not to adopt out certain dangerous breeds like the pitbull. So, pitbulls make up a large portion of animals executed each week. Not long ago, two pitbulls from a neighbor's property came and attacked our dog. Fortunately, I heard Dali's squeals, but the pitbulls would not let go when my wife tried to separate Dali from them. I had to kick one, and pick the other up and drop it on its head. My neighbor was later angry because the dog required stitches to its head. I told him the next time the dog comes on the attack, I'll be sure to use a baseball bat so that stitches won't be necessary. Given the extra homeowners insurance premium, it's hard for me to imagine why this breed is so popular. They don't detect burglars very well, and don't bark. They just bite and hold on to the death. I guess in the end, dog owners do reflect the image of their pets. I prefer the alert and loving style pooch that doesn't shed hair and likes to ride in the boat.
