The pit was one of those enormous fuckers. The owner through it would be funny to let the pit out after a wolf that was in a field behind his house. The pit ran and grabbed the wolf by the throat. The wolf shook him off and proceeded to crush the pits snout and head. Lol. Never mess with a wolf. Lol. A gray wolf is an incredible killer. No domestic dog stands a chance against one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobermans went through the same scourge when their popularity increased. Instead of becoming vicious, they developed horrible health issues. What helped save them was the pristine dobes from the soviet breakaways. That closed society kept good Doberman genes intact. Pits were also America’s most popular dogs following WWI. They were everywhere and never was there an attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I had a buddy who was a professional dog trainer who taught us how to defend ourselves from a dog attack. Worst case scenario being multiple dogs, then you're fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good breed for the novice dog owner, they have to be socialized very carefully as they are naturally very protective. But with the right owner they can be really great dogs.

Ours is 50/50 English mastiff and cane corso. He’s actually on the timid side but he’s only 6-7 months old. Last one was a Mastiff\boxer cross. He was hyper and too aggressive and started attacking people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would protect them to the death from any perceived threat. We had to get rid of him because you couldn’t trust him around others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a doc on Yellowstone park the other night and it was the reintroduction of the wolf back into the eco system as they learned the hard way, removing a link in the chain has other drastic affects/consequences. They talked about how far a wolf can run and its endurance. I honestly had no idea they were marathon type runners and can move at a decent pace as well. It was a great doc, btw.

It’s Official: Wolves Are Headed To Colorado’s 2020 Ballot For more than 25 years, Rob Edward, president of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund, has dreamed of returning wolves to Colorado. His vision is now much closer to reality. On Monday, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced Edward’s campaign had gathered an estimated 139,333 valid signatures — above the 124,632 signatures needed to earn a place the 2020 ballot. If it passes, the measure would require state wildlife managers to reintroduce wolves to Western Colorado by the end of 2023. “We are extremely excited to move into the general campaign and have a full-throated conversation with Coloradans about what it means to have wolves on the landscape again,” Edward said. The measure — tentatively known as Initiative 107 — promises a new kind of battle over the controversial predators. In other states, wildlife officials have decided how to manage the animals. The Colorado ballot measure is the first time voters in any state will choose whether to bring back an endangered species. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It doesn't look like wolves are very fond of Pit bulls either. This pit is chained but the pack attacks and kills it leaving the other dog entirely alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall what it is, but there’s something unique about the wolf’s lung/heart structure and it’s ability to utilize oxygen very efficiently.

Yeah, I'd have to watch it again but they talked about what you mentioned and how physically fit they are compared to most other animals. Dogs and yotes can't even come close to outlasting one in a long distant run. They can run at an easy lope of 5 mph for long long time.
