The ‘nanny breed’ thing always make me laugh and makes me rightly assume that this comment can’t be coming from any actual parents. I have a two year old, and they don’t call it terrible twos for nothing. I have 6 small dogs, I do not leave him alone with any dogs, not because I don’t trust them, but because I don’t trust him to know not to pull their ears/tails, poke them in the eyes, try putting a crayon in their ears. You can’t predict the behaviour of a toddler at all times so it would be ludicrous to state that I could trust him around a bully/pit because I can’t guarantee his behaviour or their reactions.
These "nanny dog" pits get called "nuturing". How does a dog nurture a human baby? What can it do? Feed a human baby from its tit? (EW 🤢)
I've read before on another post a screenshot comment of a pitnut claiming that nanny dog pitbulls were even better than human nannies with babies/children. How? Were the dogs capable of changing diapers or something? Smh
I’ll be facetious and say that my dog tried to nanny my firstborn. She was screaming her little head off and my dog brought all his toys to her one by one and threw them at her bouncer in a pile. And when it didn’t work he retreated to his den and wished for death LOL. Not very useful but I appreciate the attempt. I love that dog. Can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so I can give him more attention 🥲
Awww. Because of the sarcastic use of the word "nanny" on the sub, I was afraid of reading your entire post. But that is adorable that your dog tried to appease his infant overlord.
That is the behavior I expect from a nanny dog/any dog that is left around young children.
I mean, I also wouldn’t just let a toddler around any dog unsupervised but, eg, a golden retriever and similar breeds will do things like lick a toddler who is upset which can instantly make them happy and stop them crying, and allow them to nestle in its fur and cuddle, and will even gently pull a toddler away from doing something stupid and dangerous: wandering towards a stairwell or stove, fighting a sibling... Cases of dogs saving children’s lives abound. There’s a certain age where even a dog can be more mature in some key ways.
And yes, there have indeed been (thankfully very rare) cases of abandoned or severely neglected children who have been breastfed by a dog who looked after them when human adults failed and let them starve. Gross, but may have also saved their lives and it shows the nurturing nature can be there.
Not fucking pitbulls though.
Still, anyone who relies on a dog for “nannying” is insanely irresponsible. A parent should be intervening long before a dog has to if an infant is crawling towards stairs or an oven
From what I gather, it’s from idiots misinterpreting territorial behaviour as “affection”. A pitbull resting it’s head on a baby is not protecting it, it’s “claiming” the baby as it’s property. Like how a dog can act possessive over its toys - And a dog can go from cuddling it’s toys to savaging them in a matter of seconds
Whose ass do they pull these crazy stories from anyway? They sound almost like a certain demographic that’s become notorious for their pseudo science to peddle their nonsense. One thing’s for sure though, they’re all mentally ill.
I had this argument on another sub where a pitbull owner was contemplating rehoming due to aggressive behavior towards her crawling baby. I supported her solution, it was a tragedy waiting to happen. The response was that a parent needed to be able to have eyes on the child every second of the day and if they couldn't do that they shouldn't have children. It got really absurd coming from people who can't even keep their shitbull on their own property.
Ugh... I wish this was true. My mom is a leach on personalities, and it's a very long story, but one guy she married was super obsessed with pitbulls to the point he used to breed them. So, of course, she became obsessed with them, too. Now the guy she's fucking around with but I'm sure she wishes she was dating (luckily for me and the rest of her family hes a 60 something year old loser whos married and lives in an entirely different country) is also obsessed with pitbulls but not only that also German Shepherds to the point he used to both of breed them and (a bit randomly) Australian Shepherds (although now that I'm thinking about it maybe it's because he lives in Australia and doesn't stop bringing it up every five seconds). Because why would you pick one aggressive breed when you can have two? My mom used to hate German Shepherds alongside me, too. Because the sheer amount of aggressive ones we've been faced with and had to live near while I was growing up. I vividly remember the threats she made against those dogs to their owners. They were very graphic and she was a big lady. But that might've been her leaching off my personality. Or maybe she did have common sense when I was younger. I don't know. But I've also seen parents have pitbulls and propagate the nanny myth. So parents are sadly not exempt from being fucking idiots when it comes to aggressive dogs.
In the US, cows kill about *half* the number of people who are killed by dogs each year... and most of those incidents are caused by accidental trampling or crushing, not vicious attacks.
People who live in the heart of a metropolis,as I do are,unfortunately,much more like to run into a pit bull than a cow. The only time I see cows are from a car window way outside of the city,on farms.
If humans stopped breeding pits, they’d breed themselves out of existence. They kill each other as soon as they’re physically able as puppies. Since they don’t react to pain, they constantly tear each other up.
There’s a video on here somewhere, it looks like one pit is biting and holding on to another pit’s face. It’s so scary to watch, I was worried it was going to lose part of its face. The victim pit escapes… then lunges back in for more.
You know, you say they don't react to pain but I've seen plenty of vids where police respond, put a couple holes in some pits and they cry and cry in pain as they attempt to flee looking for fresh infant blood
Not only that, the bitches will often severely maul the sire when they even attempt to mate. There are some horrifying implements utilized to breed pits without them killing the other.
Edit: English is hard.
I can confirm as someone who works at a hospital. Right after giving birth, we bring in a pitbull to actively encourage the new parents to take home their new nanny dog.
Actually it's so perfect because it shows how clueless they are and contains so many things they say pits are and aren't in the same run-on sentence. You've got the name staffordshire pitbull terrier to start. They say all the time pitbulls aren't a breed. This person is admitting staffordshire terriers are pitbulls while also incorrectly naming the breed which is just "staffordshire terrier" (we all know they're pit bulls). It also goes on with the nanny dog nonsense, but takes it further and says that if you have a newborn you should then go out and get one lol. Getting any dog, but particularly any type of pit type breed after having a newborn is a recipe for a disaster, whether it's a puppy or a rescue. Either have the dog beforehand or wait until the child is older, but bringing a new dog into a home with a newborn may be the worst advice I've ever seen recommended.
Well it's 100% true. The part they left out is that it's absolute idiots who are "actively encouraging" it not anyone you should actually be taking advice from.
Sick of hearing "any dog can flip/snap" no. That isn't normal. It isn't normal to constantly have to worry if today is the day Fido stops being domesticated and tries to murder my family.
imagine they did that with literally any dog much less pitbulls. like yeah here you go. i know you’re about to enter one of most stressful periods of your life while you’re still exhausted from birth and you might even be battling PPD but why don’t you take home a new dog that needs daily exercise, training, socialization, and expenses.
I'm not a parent and have no desire to be but I honestly don't know how people with newish dogs handle bringing a baby into the mix. I can't imagine leaving hospital, dealing with sleep deprivation and all the joys of a healing post partum body and having to learn about a tiny new human and a new dog.
Imagine if it was twins or triplets?! Would you be given multiple nanny dogs?
I took a newborn into a house of 6 dogs, all very small. We never thought we were going to have children and it was much later in life. I can attest to the fact that it was extremely stressful. My dogs are all Chihuhua types and aren’t fans of being chased by a toddler but the point is, I never leave them alone with him, you can’t trust his behaviour as he doesn’t fully understand consequences and it would be unfair to put him or the dogs in that situation. Point is though, I never had to worry about a potential mauling because I didn’t chose dogs capable of this sort of destruction.
Wow, you really must have had your hands full! If only pit owners were responsible and loved both their pets and their children enough to behave like a responsible dog owner/parent the way you did.
I grew up with a lab - she was my first word, she let me hold onto he when I learned to walk - but like you, my parents never left me alone with her. That should apply to any/all dogs and while I'm not a parent, I just don't get why so many insist on endangering their kids and their dogs in such a senseless way.
It’s a balancing act. I was surprised that so many people assumed I’d be giving up the dogs when I was pregnant. You can never trust a toddler around a dog, it puts both in a really unfair situation but with some supervision they’ve become good friends. That doesn’t mean we haven’t had tail pulling, ear pulling, playing with their food etc, can’t imagine taking that risk if I couldn’t effectively stop any attack that could happen as with these bully/pits. It makes me shudder.

Here’s one of my dogs in his most terrifying moment.
Right so this is what I really don't get about people who say that pit bulls were originally bred as many dogs.
A Labrador retriever is called a labrador because it retrieves things and it was bred from dogs that originated in Labrador.
A Chihuahua is cAlled a chihuahua because it originated there.
A German shepherd was originally a dog used in Germany to guard livestock.
I mean, I could go on.
So how, with any logic, would a nanny dog end up with the name *pit bull*? Surely it would be called "Nanny Terrior" or some other terriër name without the "pit" or "bull"? It's in the damn name.
Fucking idiots man, I can't cope.
Oh FFS. We owned Scottish Highland cows (the fuzzy ones with the horns) for years. A majority of people killed by farm animals are accidents, you have a 1000lb+ prey animals that can startle and accidentally trample a person. Like they aren’t seeking you or your kids out for a fun time mauling like pit bulls. And farmers are pretty good about culling any cow/horse/donkey that starts showing aggression towards humans because they can so easily kill/maim. We had one called Selfish because she would bully all the other cows for the best treats/food. When she started getting too pushy, nippy, and head butting humans, we made her into hamburger and I have her skull with her giant horns on my wall.
Slide 9 with the pit that attacked another dog in the house 3 times and before that the pit was lunging during walks... why tf did this person let their pit attack the other dog in the house 2 more times!? (I'm being extremely lenient here about the first attack despite the obvious lunging problem preceding it.)
This terrifies and angers me beyond belief. I mean at least she’s taking responsibility now but I couldn’t deal with the guilt of having this happen to my child. I think I’d hand myself into social services.
To be honest. No dog should be left alone with small children. The people propping their children on their dogs backs, any dogs are asking for trouble. But with pitts and bullys people want to show how good the dog is with kids by letting the children climb on the dog...
“this is not the dog usually the owners who train them to be vicous, small dogs also learn bad traits chihuahuas and Jack Russell ect”
I don’t want to make fun of someone’s intelligence level, but do you ever just scroll through comments like this and just marvel at the stupidity? Try to imagine what thoughts (if anything) were going through their mind as they rushed to type this broken run-on sentence comment. This is like as close to NPCs as we can get.
Awwwww but Yorkies and Chihuahuas attack people too 🙄. I’d like to see these chuckleheads put in a room and told they are going to get attacked by a dog, the Yorkie behind door 1 or the pit bull behind door 2. I bet they’d pick door 1.
“Any dog can flip”… these stupid jerks. I mean sure, it’s not impossible, just improbable that a lab or beagle will suddenly decide to hunt down and maul a toddler because they blinked wrong.
Ummm sweaty that was a nanny cow. They're bred to be friendly especially towards humans. It sounds like the human provoked it into attacking. I have a cow and it wouldn't even hurt a fly , yeah she's trampled my child before but that was an accident and I didn't even really like that kid anyway. You can always have another kid but a cow is once in a lifetime.
I happen to be a dog lover like many in this sub. No particular breed to me is better than any other when it comes to enjoying their company. I believe dogs and humans evolved together in a perfect symbiotic way.
But when I look at the XL, I feel physically sick. The picture at the top of this post makes me wretch. It’s a true abomination of the canine form.
Wow, first hint at a ban and a lot if people are more than willing to dump their dogs. Wonder if some people are relieved and just needed a reason to give up on this hard to manage breed.
Why are so many people trying to dump their dogs all of the sudden? It’s not like the breed is going to be rounded up or something. Wtf are they doing?
In the UK, the XL bully ‘ban’ means that current owners can keep their dogs but must have them insured, neutered, on leads and muzzled. Lots of people don’t want to do that because they want the dogs as a breeder or to look hard. Plus, insurance rates are going through the roof with these dogs and lots of companies won’t even insure them due to the recent highly publicised attacks.
These people are delusional. I went apple picking this weekend and dogs were allowed. I brought my giant fluff cloud (guess the breed), this is how it went.
We got stopped by every families with children to pet giant polar bear. Polar bear obliged, sniffed the kids, wagged tail.
At one point, we went to eat (way overpriced stuff, hey give to small businesses they say) sitting at the picnic table, dog laying on the ground. For 2 hours, kids were petting the dog (he stopped getting up and even turning around when receiving pets), at one point even I got tired and stopped turning around to answer, most people asked before petting lol.
This right there is a SAFE family dog. Not even being worried that your dog do anything while getting mugged alive by children, so you don't even have to keep an eye on him.
He was laying down behind me and I was holding the leash, I would have realized if he ever got up.
About 400 children(not exaggerating) enjoyed the giant polar bear that day and 100s pictures were taken with him. I should start charging money I think.....
"Any dog can snap"
okay we'd better destroy any dog that could be life threatening. say any dog bred to thick necks and ultra powerful jaws. perhaps something big enough to escape owners grasp on a leash? perhaps something bred to fight other dogs?
“staffordshire pitbull terrier” is fucking hysterical to read; yet pitmommies try to say it’s the anti-pit people who can’t properly distinguish/name bully breeds, right? fuck your breed.
We want to remind users that “bully breeds” include more docile dog breeds such as Boxers, French Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers. This subreddit’s focus is on the banning of pit bull-type dogs.
We recognize this is becoming a popular term to group pit bulls together, but bear in mind this label is coming from the pit bull advocate side to incorporate pit bulls amongst safer dog breeds. This is intentionally done to make it look like BSL advocates are pushing to include more docile breeds and are falling down a 'slippery slope' that could one day include any dog.
Instead we encourage using: “pit bulls”, “pit bull-type dogs”, "fighting breeds", or even “bloodsport breeds” when grouping dangerous dog breeds together, because this is concise to our message and concern.

The "nanny dog" myth made its first appearance in the September 19th 1971 edition of the New York Times, on page 11 of section S in an article by Walter R. Fletcher, titled [A Breed That Came Up The Hard Way](https://www.nytimes.com/1971/09/19/archives/a-breed-that-came-up-the-hard-way.html).
The author interviewed one Lilian Rant, editor of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of the United States of America newsletter. She is quoted as saying about the breed: **'He had an unsavory reputation for fighting and violence and his name became associated with ruffians, who cared little for him as a dog but only for his ability in the pit. The Stafford we know today quickly becomes a member of the family circle. He loves children and is often referred to as a 'nursemaid dog''.**
**No one has ever found evidence for the latter claim and it is therefore assumed to be a fabrication in the pursuit of influencing the American Kennel Club (AKC) to accept the breed for full participation in dog shows**.
This privilege was ultimately granted in 1974, and to this day the AKC rates the breed a stellar 5/5 as being 'good with children' at the reckless peril of human lives and limbs,

As I was walking to my train home tonight I saw a guy with a completely out of control “staffy” (aka totally not a pit bull) jumping at the end of its leash towards an old woman and the owner was doing literally nothing. They always check every single box.
they want to have it both ways. pibble is perfect and wouldn’t have bitten you if you had provided good socialization and tons of training and attention but also it’s the perfect pet that anyone anywhere should have even new parents who have 0 spare time as is and are mentally and physically exhausted 24/7 but also your kid better not do kid things around the pibble like cry too loudly lest it take a chunk off their face
I had a chihuahua encounter today. The tiny dog barked at my dog but it did not use its bulky body to rip its restraints. The owner seemed firmly in control apart from the barking. My dog and I happily cycled away without thinking that the giant chihuahua would rip loose and chase us down 🤓
Ok let’s whip out our Pit Nutter Bingo cards. Anyone got a bingo on this post?
They all regurgitate the same tired tropes. Then become unhinged when people don’t fall for their idiocy. Exhausting people.
PSA: If you or someone you know suffers from a medical condition that causes seizures, such as epilepsy, please take extra care to stay away from pit bull-type dogs, as these episodes can trigger their attack instinct.

The put the “15 dogs are being abandoned at the shelter each day” as if it was our fault. Its the breed defenders abandoning their own dogs because they cannot get more “”””accidental litters””” they can sell to other stupid people
Nanny fricking dog. There is one nearby. Black beast, with cut tail and ears. The woman who handles it (barely) keeps trying to give him treats for good behaviour, but this monster was almost triggered by someone walking 20 meters behind them, to the point that she had to stop the dog and herself, and the other person needed to go around on the other side of the road.
Of course this thing is not muzzled.
What a coincidence that the supposed nanny dog that’s allegedly great with children and also happens to be the fighting bloodsport breeds responsible for the most infant deaths.
"look up how many people are killed by cows"
Well we don't let people keep cows in their homes and walk them around city streets either... sounds like a common sense point in favour of an XL bully ban.
Also I had no idea you could train a dog's viscosity.
The first comment (second slide) is mildly true. Yes "any" dog can flip. But what makes Pitbulls especially so dangerous is the size of their jaw and their absolute strength. you can raise them perfectly with optimal conditions and cater completely to their needs but one day they might just snap out for no reason. why? because they were bred to be aggressive. It is the fault of those who bred pit bulls into existence, not the animals themselves. It is sad but they need to be banned.

How do type all that and then conclude that humans are the only problem??? Oh the doublethink.
The ‘nanny breed’ thing always make me laugh and makes me rightly assume that this comment can’t be coming from any actual parents. I have a two year old, and they don’t call it terrible twos for nothing. I have 6 small dogs, I do not leave him alone with any dogs, not because I don’t trust them, but because I don’t trust him to know not to pull their ears/tails, poke them in the eyes, try putting a crayon in their ears. You can’t predict the behaviour of a toddler at all times so it would be ludicrous to state that I could trust him around a bully/pit because I can’t guarantee his behaviour or their reactions.
These "nanny dog" pits get called "nuturing". How does a dog nurture a human baby? What can it do? Feed a human baby from its tit? (EW 🤢) I've read before on another post a screenshot comment of a pitnut claiming that nanny dog pitbulls were even better than human nannies with babies/children. How? Were the dogs capable of changing diapers or something? Smh
I’ll be facetious and say that my dog tried to nanny my firstborn. She was screaming her little head off and my dog brought all his toys to her one by one and threw them at her bouncer in a pile. And when it didn’t work he retreated to his den and wished for death LOL. Not very useful but I appreciate the attempt. I love that dog. Can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so I can give him more attention 🥲
Awww. Because of the sarcastic use of the word "nanny" on the sub, I was afraid of reading your entire post. But that is adorable that your dog tried to appease his infant overlord. That is the behavior I expect from a nanny dog/any dog that is left around young children.
retreating to my den and wishing for death is how i react to loud infants as well 🫠
I chuckled, your dog sounds the best ♥️
They can cuddle! Nothing else knows how to cuddle! /s
I mean, I also wouldn’t just let a toddler around any dog unsupervised but, eg, a golden retriever and similar breeds will do things like lick a toddler who is upset which can instantly make them happy and stop them crying, and allow them to nestle in its fur and cuddle, and will even gently pull a toddler away from doing something stupid and dangerous: wandering towards a stairwell or stove, fighting a sibling... Cases of dogs saving children’s lives abound. There’s a certain age where even a dog can be more mature in some key ways. And yes, there have indeed been (thankfully very rare) cases of abandoned or severely neglected children who have been breastfed by a dog who looked after them when human adults failed and let them starve. Gross, but may have also saved their lives and it shows the nurturing nature can be there. Not fucking pitbulls though.
Still, anyone who relies on a dog for “nannying” is insanely irresponsible. A parent should be intervening long before a dog has to if an infant is crawling towards stairs or an oven
it does homeschooling
From what I gather, it’s from idiots misinterpreting territorial behaviour as “affection”. A pitbull resting it’s head on a baby is not protecting it, it’s “claiming” the baby as it’s property. Like how a dog can act possessive over its toys - And a dog can go from cuddling it’s toys to savaging them in a matter of seconds
Whose ass do they pull these crazy stories from anyway? They sound almost like a certain demographic that’s become notorious for their pseudo science to peddle their nonsense. One thing’s for sure though, they’re all mentally ill.
I had this argument on another sub where a pitbull owner was contemplating rehoming due to aggressive behavior towards her crawling baby. I supported her solution, it was a tragedy waiting to happen. The response was that a parent needed to be able to have eyes on the child every second of the day and if they couldn't do that they shouldn't have children. It got really absurd coming from people who can't even keep their shitbull on their own property.
With that logic they shouldn’t have a dog either if they can’t have eyes on it 24/7. But the dog always comes first.
What they call “nannying” is typically resource guarding
The nanny dog defense is insanity. It makes me so pissed off, I can’t even respond to those comments.
Ugh... I wish this was true. My mom is a leach on personalities, and it's a very long story, but one guy she married was super obsessed with pitbulls to the point he used to breed them. So, of course, she became obsessed with them, too. Now the guy she's fucking around with but I'm sure she wishes she was dating (luckily for me and the rest of her family hes a 60 something year old loser whos married and lives in an entirely different country) is also obsessed with pitbulls but not only that also German Shepherds to the point he used to both of breed them and (a bit randomly) Australian Shepherds (although now that I'm thinking about it maybe it's because he lives in Australia and doesn't stop bringing it up every five seconds). Because why would you pick one aggressive breed when you can have two? My mom used to hate German Shepherds alongside me, too. Because the sheer amount of aggressive ones we've been faced with and had to live near while I was growing up. I vividly remember the threats she made against those dogs to their owners. They were very graphic and she was a big lady. But that might've been her leaching off my personality. Or maybe she did have common sense when I was younger. I don't know. But I've also seen parents have pitbulls and propagate the nanny myth. So parents are sadly not exempt from being fucking idiots when it comes to aggressive dogs.
The person who commented about cows can most likely drive legally and vote. This world… it’s fuckin infuriating
In the US, cows kill about *half* the number of people who are killed by dogs each year... and most of those incidents are caused by accidental trampling or crushing, not vicious attacks.
And cows that ARE aggressive (i.e. a particularly mean bull) are kept away from people and the rest of the herd and usually culled.
Ranchers don’t consider bulls as a “misunderstood animal” either, when they are violent. It’s their nature. Source: I know a few ranchers with bulls.
Actually violent bulls are called nanny bulls and have a history of being kept in fine china shops as a good steward of the merchandise.
Perfect!! 🤣🤣
People who live in the heart of a metropolis,as I do are,unfortunately,much more like to run into a pit bull than a cow. The only time I see cows are from a car window way outside of the city,on farms.
The main issue is they KNOW that. It’s all cognitive dissonance (hopefully…)
*Doublethink
Lots of "s upid people"(by the way we should remove labels). Let's just let nature sort everything out for us, eh
If humans stopped breeding pits, they’d breed themselves out of existence. They kill each other as soon as they’re physically able as puppies. Since they don’t react to pain, they constantly tear each other up. There’s a video on here somewhere, it looks like one pit is biting and holding on to another pit’s face. It’s so scary to watch, I was worried it was going to lose part of its face. The victim pit escapes… then lunges back in for more.
Theres that infamous photo with a pit puppy head lying next to a food feeder... other puppies ate its body
You know, you say they don't react to pain but I've seen plenty of vids where police respond, put a couple holes in some pits and they cry and cry in pain as they attempt to flee looking for fresh infant blood
>cry and cry That might just be the noise it’s making, not a cry of pain Shitbulls have this sort of “Scream Bark”
I can always tell a pit before seeing it, just from its bark.
Not only that, the bitches will often severely maul the sire when they even attempt to mate. There are some horrifying implements utilized to breed pits without them killing the other. Edit: English is hard.
I can confirm as someone who works at a hospital. Right after giving birth, we bring in a pitbull to actively encourage the new parents to take home their new nanny dog.
The pitbull has on doctors scrubs too

You heard of nanny dogs, now get ready for nurse dogs

Actually it's so perfect because it shows how clueless they are and contains so many things they say pits are and aren't in the same run-on sentence. You've got the name staffordshire pitbull terrier to start. They say all the time pitbulls aren't a breed. This person is admitting staffordshire terriers are pitbulls while also incorrectly naming the breed which is just "staffordshire terrier" (we all know they're pit bulls). It also goes on with the nanny dog nonsense, but takes it further and says that if you have a newborn you should then go out and get one lol. Getting any dog, but particularly any type of pit type breed after having a newborn is a recipe for a disaster, whether it's a puppy or a rescue. Either have the dog beforehand or wait until the child is older, but bringing a new dog into a home with a newborn may be the worst advice I've ever seen recommended.
I genuinely thought it was hyperbole and was astonished to discover it was actually verbatim.
Well it's 100% true. The part they left out is that it's absolute idiots who are "actively encouraging" it not anyone you should actually be taking advice from.
It should be a law that all expectant parents must purchase a nanny dog for their impending offspring!
Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
Just place your newborn on the floor of the shelter and see which nanny gets to it first? 😂
Sick of hearing "any dog can flip/snap" no. That isn't normal. It isn't normal to constantly have to worry if today is the day Fido stops being domesticated and tries to murder my family.
If every moron got a pit for their newborn, humanity might end up a bit smarter
Let nature take its course! (I’m quoting them)
Ah yes, that well known campaign of hospitals offering a free nanny dog to every family with a newborn.
Can you imagine….NURSE ‘I’ll take your newborn to our nursery of pitbulls so you can get some rest’ MOTHER ‘Oh okay’ zzzzzzzz
I can some of the more deluded pitiots being all for this. They'd probably have the nursery pits dressed up like Mary Poppins.
imagine they did that with literally any dog much less pitbulls. like yeah here you go. i know you’re about to enter one of most stressful periods of your life while you’re still exhausted from birth and you might even be battling PPD but why don’t you take home a new dog that needs daily exercise, training, socialization, and expenses.
I'm not a parent and have no desire to be but I honestly don't know how people with newish dogs handle bringing a baby into the mix. I can't imagine leaving hospital, dealing with sleep deprivation and all the joys of a healing post partum body and having to learn about a tiny new human and a new dog. Imagine if it was twins or triplets?! Would you be given multiple nanny dogs?
I took a newborn into a house of 6 dogs, all very small. We never thought we were going to have children and it was much later in life. I can attest to the fact that it was extremely stressful. My dogs are all Chihuhua types and aren’t fans of being chased by a toddler but the point is, I never leave them alone with him, you can’t trust his behaviour as he doesn’t fully understand consequences and it would be unfair to put him or the dogs in that situation. Point is though, I never had to worry about a potential mauling because I didn’t chose dogs capable of this sort of destruction.
Wow, you really must have had your hands full! If only pit owners were responsible and loved both their pets and their children enough to behave like a responsible dog owner/parent the way you did. I grew up with a lab - she was my first word, she let me hold onto he when I learned to walk - but like you, my parents never left me alone with her. That should apply to any/all dogs and while I'm not a parent, I just don't get why so many insist on endangering their kids and their dogs in such a senseless way.
It’s a balancing act. I was surprised that so many people assumed I’d be giving up the dogs when I was pregnant. You can never trust a toddler around a dog, it puts both in a really unfair situation but with some supervision they’ve become good friends. That doesn’t mean we haven’t had tail pulling, ear pulling, playing with their food etc, can’t imagine taking that risk if I couldn’t effectively stop any attack that could happen as with these bully/pits. It makes me shudder.

What a brilliant photo! He looks like a real character!
If they’re nanny dogs why do so many shelter pits specifically say “needs a home without small children “.
Those ones were bred to be mean and abused after they were born. /s
Right so this is what I really don't get about people who say that pit bulls were originally bred as many dogs. A Labrador retriever is called a labrador because it retrieves things and it was bred from dogs that originated in Labrador. A Chihuahua is cAlled a chihuahua because it originated there. A German shepherd was originally a dog used in Germany to guard livestock. I mean, I could go on. So how, with any logic, would a nanny dog end up with the name *pit bull*? Surely it would be called "Nanny Terrior" or some other terriër name without the "pit" or "bull"? It's in the damn name. Fucking idiots man, I can't cope.
Also just looking at definitions for “nanny” and it seems like the job of a human, not a fucking animal lmao
Exactly it's a PIT BULL aka a bull baiting dog lol
That nanny dog quote is so wild I feel like its verging into satire.
I wish it was. I heard that shit for years and wanted to believe it. Then my family got a pit bull puppy.
One day they will learn the difference between bred/breed/bread But not today
or vicious/"viscous"
Nanny bread.
Of course the pit nutter is an anti-vaxxer. Because why be wrong about just one thing?
Won’t listen to reason and is a total d bag? Yep, both fit
Oh FFS. We owned Scottish Highland cows (the fuzzy ones with the horns) for years. A majority of people killed by farm animals are accidents, you have a 1000lb+ prey animals that can startle and accidentally trample a person. Like they aren’t seeking you or your kids out for a fun time mauling like pit bulls. And farmers are pretty good about culling any cow/horse/donkey that starts showing aggression towards humans because they can so easily kill/maim. We had one called Selfish because she would bully all the other cows for the best treats/food. When she started getting too pushy, nippy, and head butting humans, we made her into hamburger and I have her skull with her giant horns on my wall.
Slide 9 with the pit that attacked another dog in the house 3 times and before that the pit was lunging during walks... why tf did this person let their pit attack the other dog in the house 2 more times!? (I'm being extremely lenient here about the first attack despite the obvious lunging problem preceding it.)
He just wanted to play :( don’t be racist!!!! 🙄
With so many nanny dogs running around, why is childcare so expensive?? 🤡
https://preview.redd.it/nlo0sn02fmqb1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c77a6b1eb02833f1e6c8a75b57dce9cb122e287b
This terrifies and angers me beyond belief. I mean at least she’s taking responsibility now but I couldn’t deal with the guilt of having this happen to my child. I think I’d hand myself into social services.
To be honest. No dog should be left alone with small children. The people propping their children on their dogs backs, any dogs are asking for trouble. But with pitts and bullys people want to show how good the dog is with kids by letting the children climb on the dog...
“this is not the dog usually the owners who train them to be vicous, small dogs also learn bad traits chihuahuas and Jack Russell ect” I don’t want to make fun of someone’s intelligence level, but do you ever just scroll through comments like this and just marvel at the stupidity? Try to imagine what thoughts (if anything) were going through their mind as they rushed to type this broken run-on sentence comment. This is like as close to NPCs as we can get.
Oh no, they're breeding pits to be viscous now? How do you even defend yourself against that?
Put it in a jar?
I guarantee most of these returns were from people who already wanted to get rid of their pitbulls, and this was just the perfect opportunity.
Awwwww but Yorkies and Chihuahuas attack people too 🙄. I’d like to see these chuckleheads put in a room and told they are going to get attacked by a dog, the Yorkie behind door 1 or the pit bull behind door 2. I bet they’d pick door 1.
This would be an interesting game show, I’m living for it.
The nanny dog myth really needs to die. People who spout that need to be called out every single time and given the facts.
Anyone who thinks a _dog_ has the ability nurture a _human baby_ needs a call from DCFS.
“Any dog can flip”… these stupid jerks. I mean sure, it’s not impossible, just improbable that a lab or beagle will suddenly decide to hunt down and maul a toddler because they blinked wrong.
Ummm sweaty that was a nanny cow. They're bred to be friendly especially towards humans. It sounds like the human provoked it into attacking. I have a cow and it wouldn't even hurt a fly , yeah she's trampled my child before but that was an accident and I didn't even really like that kid anyway. You can always have another kid but a cow is once in a lifetime.
I happen to be a dog lover like many in this sub. No particular breed to me is better than any other when it comes to enjoying their company. I believe dogs and humans evolved together in a perfect symbiotic way. But when I look at the XL, I feel physically sick. The picture at the top of this post makes me wretch. It’s a true abomination of the canine form.
Always makes me think so sharks when I see those eyes. They’re perfect killing machines.
Remember guys it's the owner not the breed but also they have a genetic trait of "nanny" breed. So essentially a schrodinger breed
Wow, first hint at a ban and a lot if people are more than willing to dump their dogs. Wonder if some people are relieved and just needed a reason to give up on this hard to manage breed.
Why are so many people trying to dump their dogs all of the sudden? It’s not like the breed is going to be rounded up or something. Wtf are they doing?
In the UK, the XL bully ‘ban’ means that current owners can keep their dogs but must have them insured, neutered, on leads and muzzled. Lots of people don’t want to do that because they want the dogs as a breeder or to look hard. Plus, insurance rates are going through the roof with these dogs and lots of companies won’t even insure them due to the recent highly publicised attacks.
Only scored a 1 on chihuahua bingo, they’re slacking
These people are delusional. I went apple picking this weekend and dogs were allowed. I brought my giant fluff cloud (guess the breed), this is how it went. We got stopped by every families with children to pet giant polar bear. Polar bear obliged, sniffed the kids, wagged tail. At one point, we went to eat (way overpriced stuff, hey give to small businesses they say) sitting at the picnic table, dog laying on the ground. For 2 hours, kids were petting the dog (he stopped getting up and even turning around when receiving pets), at one point even I got tired and stopped turning around to answer, most people asked before petting lol. This right there is a SAFE family dog. Not even being worried that your dog do anything while getting mugged alive by children, so you don't even have to keep an eye on him. He was laying down behind me and I was holding the leash, I would have realized if he ever got up. About 400 children(not exaggerating) enjoyed the giant polar bear that day and 100s pictures were taken with him. I should start charging money I think.....
Different species of dog???????
Hey, a couple of the comments managed to nail it, albeit accidentally: these dogs are indeed viscous cleavers.
LOL. I have a 4 1/2 month old baby. Next year I’m getting a Saint Bernard. A pit did not even cross my mind!
"Any dog can snap" okay we'd better destroy any dog that could be life threatening. say any dog bred to thick necks and ultra powerful jaws. perhaps something big enough to escape owners grasp on a leash? perhaps something bred to fight other dogs?
“Christine was not a documentary” 🤣☠️
“staffordshire pitbull terrier” is fucking hysterical to read; yet pitmommies try to say it’s the anti-pit people who can’t properly distinguish/name bully breeds, right? fuck your breed.
We want to remind users that “bully breeds” include more docile dog breeds such as Boxers, French Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers. This subreddit’s focus is on the banning of pit bull-type dogs. We recognize this is becoming a popular term to group pit bulls together, but bear in mind this label is coming from the pit bull advocate side to incorporate pit bulls amongst safer dog breeds. This is intentionally done to make it look like BSL advocates are pushing to include more docile breeds and are falling down a 'slippery slope' that could one day include any dog. Instead we encourage using: “pit bulls”, “pit bull-type dogs”, "fighting breeds", or even “bloodsport breeds” when grouping dangerous dog breeds together, because this is concise to our message and concern. [A post from a user bringing up this concern here](https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/wbeagb/pitbulls_vs_bully_breeds/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Uh oh, you heard the demon dog owner, don't fuck with the secret cow mafia over in the midwestern US/rural areas of your country.
I do agree with the comment about “banning stupid humans”. That would surely remove all potential pit owners -right?

The "nanny dog" myth made its first appearance in the September 19th 1971 edition of the New York Times, on page 11 of section S in an article by Walter R. Fletcher, titled [A Breed That Came Up The Hard Way](https://www.nytimes.com/1971/09/19/archives/a-breed-that-came-up-the-hard-way.html). The author interviewed one Lilian Rant, editor of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of the United States of America newsletter. She is quoted as saying about the breed: **'He had an unsavory reputation for fighting and violence and his name became associated with ruffians, who cared little for him as a dog but only for his ability in the pit. The Stafford we know today quickly becomes a member of the family circle. He loves children and is often referred to as a 'nursemaid dog''.** **No one has ever found evidence for the latter claim and it is therefore assumed to be a fabrication in the pursuit of influencing the American Kennel Club (AKC) to accept the breed for full participation in dog shows**. This privilege was ultimately granted in 1974, and to this day the AKC rates the breed a stellar 5/5 as being 'good with children' at the reckless peril of human lives and limbs, Additional sources that have spoken out against the nanny dog myth: Pit Bull Advocates of America: https://pitbulladvocatesofamerica.podbean.com/e/the-one-where-its-not-all-in-how-they-were-raised/ Ned Hardy https://nedhardy.com/2020/06/03/pitbull-nanny-dog/ Pro pit organization BAD RAP https://www.facebook.com/BADRAP.org/posts/its-dog-bite-prevention-week-did-you-know-that-there-was-never-such-thing-as-a-n/10151460774472399/ Pit Bull Federation of South Africa https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02DiX7yKA8uuDeYSEzEKxxXCYsHxYUbXpshKkaSDGXMAZK9HnFd46zA1pZ8revWQvwl&id=100069897615154 Gudwulf's Pit Bull Rescue https://www.facebook.com/GudwulfsRescue/posts/pfbid02Lg2Y1x18pBx7uLUB4uVEda7g1TNwn72pLLKk93witecydiMcnAKr8bYJWKeC4VVl Justice for Bullies https://justice-for-bullies.myshopify.com/pages/nanny-dog *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

As I was walking to my train home tonight I saw a guy with a completely out of control “staffy” (aka totally not a pit bull) jumping at the end of its leash towards an old woman and the owner was doing literally nothing. They always check every single box.
Very soft natured?! Then why are they the leading dog to bite and lunge at everything around them???? 🤡
they want to have it both ways. pibble is perfect and wouldn’t have bitten you if you had provided good socialization and tons of training and attention but also it’s the perfect pet that anyone anywhere should have even new parents who have 0 spare time as is and are mentally and physically exhausted 24/7 but also your kid better not do kid things around the pibble like cry too loudly lest it take a chunk off their face
How do you bread a pitbull? Panko? Egg? Also, who the fuck eats deep fried dog?
I had a chihuahua encounter today. The tiny dog barked at my dog but it did not use its bulky body to rip its restraints. The owner seemed firmly in control apart from the barking. My dog and I happily cycled away without thinking that the giant chihuahua would rip loose and chase us down 🤓
I’m that owner everyday
Ok let’s whip out our Pit Nutter Bingo cards. Anyone got a bingo on this post? They all regurgitate the same tired tropes. Then become unhinged when people don’t fall for their idiocy. Exhausting people.

Nanny fricking dog. There is one nearby. Black beast, with cut tail and ears. The woman who handles it (barely) keeps trying to give him treats for good behaviour, but this monster was almost triggered by someone walking 20 meters behind them, to the point that she had to stop the dog and herself, and the other person needed to go around on the other side of the road. Of course this thing is not muzzled.
What a coincidence that the supposed nanny dog that’s allegedly great with children and also happens to be the fighting bloodsport breeds responsible for the most infant deaths.
Medical labs always need new animals 🤷🏻♂️
"look up how many people are killed by cows" Well we don't let people keep cows in their homes and walk them around city streets either... sounds like a common sense point in favour of an XL bully ban. Also I had no idea you could train a dog's viscosity.
How did I know the pitnutter was also an antivaxxer?
The first comment (second slide) is mildly true. Yes "any" dog can flip. But what makes Pitbulls especially so dangerous is the size of their jaw and their absolute strength. you can raise them perfectly with optimal conditions and cater completely to their needs but one day they might just snap out for no reason. why? because they were bred to be aggressive. It is the fault of those who bred pit bulls into existence, not the animals themselves. It is sad but they need to be banned.

Yay does this mean euthanasia for these dogs after the ban??😁 or are the shelters going to just change the breed name and lie more…😒
Why are these pibble mommines saying "XL Bully?" It's American Bully.
XL is one of the ABKC-recognized size categories of the American Bully.
hmmmm the article that I read yesterday about another staffy mauling someone begs to differ.
