exactly. there are lots of kids in our neighborhood, including my 5 and 2 yr olds. they like playing outside with our dog. no way i'm going to wait for something bad to happen.
Sounds like you handled the situation perfectly. At the very least the owners will have to pay a little fee to get their dogs out of lock-up..I think it is 75$ a dog in Ames.
it is a little troubling that so many people have the different variations on anti-freeze .. what are we up to now?

heres what you do. I have a pit bull and i feel bad for these dogs cause they are great dogs...like any if raised right. sounds like bad owners and i hate that with any dog because i love them. 1st thing you should do is not hit them hahahahaha they are capable of ripping whatever object is out of your hand then taking your arm if they are mad enough. 2nd....call the cops because chances are they are not insured which unless you live in ames...they have to be. Mine is licensed, insured, rabies shots and if the dog is not in a kennel and its a pit it cant be running free. Even on a leash the owner has to have the insurance papers with them. Id call the cops and say you have a major problem regarding neighbors pit bulls. There wont be any messing around. 1st thing theyll take the dogs and give the owners 1 chance with 3 days to get everything taken care of. If they dont.....they unfortunately put them to sleep. Makes me sad to tell ya this but that is the most appropriate thing to do for your kids safety, yours and your dogs when it comes to pits/similar breeds not trained properly IMO
Not offended since they have a bad rap.....id love for a lot of anti pit bull people to come meet mine....raised properly they are great dogs. Unfortunately alot of them are raised horribly because they are so strong with their jaws etc.
Growing up on a farm we had neighbors about a mile away or so that had several dogs that were either malnourished, abused, or something because they eventually started terrorizing the neighborhood. Came home one afternoon and one of the neighbors was riding down the gravel road with a gun and motioned us to stop. Apparently he witnessed some of their dogs run one of our cow/calf pairs through a fence and the dogs killed the calf in the creek. He had already shot a couple of them and were waiting for the others to come out of the woods to finish the job. We had already called the sherriff out a few times before and eventually we started shooting the dogs on site if they came onto our property. They got mad after we shot one of the dogs they claimed was worth $500 and we just told them that's too bad, their dogs killed one of our animals and probably some of the neighbor's livestock too so we probably weren't even yet.
I have strong feelings on this issue and am glad you handled it the way you did. Poisoning the dogs is illegal, and one can face serious fines and/or some jail time.
I have a half-border-collie-half-pit-rescue and she's the best dog I've ever owned... Typically pitbulls are very sweet dogs. As many have said, the problem is with the type of owner they attract. People should have to have a license to own a dog, because raised improperly, any dog can be dangerous. I've seen some real pieces of work here in the city. Any fool who puts a 20 lb chain on his dog's neck is a real POS... It's too bad that this breed has attracted so many trashy owners...

Missed the whole point of the conversation and what i was saying. Raised properly they are great dogs like any. If you have a pre conceived bad opinion about the breed it wont matter what i say though. Bad owners=bad dogs.....period
Raised the wrong way like it sounds in this case they probably react different when you smack them with something and their temperment is completely different and they are capable of doing some wrong.
Maybe those neighbors need this and the bad name wouldnt be a problem

I think I'll put these in their mail box. Their dogs have not shown any agression except the small one ( I think he's just ****** he's smaller than the others) that's why I took the chance on getting them in my fenced in part of the yard. Maybe wasn't the smartest thing, but I wasn't getting any where with authorities. It worked, so great.
I agree that these dogs or any can be great or not, depending on how they were raised. Hell, I have a friend with a dauchsaund that would rip your arm off.
Serious question; if you have to go to that much trouble to assure your dog doesn't hurt somebody, might it be the breed that really is the problem? I don't fall on one side of the argument or the other, but I wouldn't want a dog that dangerous around my kids. I fully understand any individual dog could cause problems, but you don't see a commandments list like this for golden retrievers.
