Discussion This is a disaster waiting to happen.

The dog isn’t allowed to be around a toddler because he growls at her. I don’t get it. A family dog is supposed to get along with the whole family. Why are the parents concerned about why the dog “doesn’t like her”? What about the child’s safety?

You could argue they searched a lot for data. Or maybe it happens so much that it's super easy to find the data.

I suspect it's the latter and it's a sign of the breed rather than the person speaking out against them.

It’s such an oddly specific issue too, and interesting that pits would see seizures as threatening and not just frightening - I am now curious to see if/how often it has happened with other breeds, because I’m wondering if having a dog in general is just a bad move for epileptics…

But then again I’ve definitely seen a video of a young woman with epilepsy who’s dog was trained to warn her/the family when a seizure might be coming 🤔

My mom has a service trained GSD and he warns her of her seizures. It’s pretty interesting seeing how they pick up cues and safely move her away from objects and tell her to sit down before they hit. Once she has the seizure he will monitor her the whole time until it passes. Once it’s over he stays right next to her to calm her. Truly amazing.

I was about to say aren’t there medical support dogs for seizures…

can you find an equivalent number of seizure-related attacks from any other breed type?

No, they can’t. I’ve had bully breeds when I was younger and they passed from old age but now that I have kids, I would never. They can be great dogs but can also flip a switch with zero warning.

I’m not saying they all would but there was one I had that I didn’t allow around anyone other than my wife and I, he was very hostile towards almost everyone without warning. The day he began to be hostile towards me indoorsI tried training/vet/everything I could think of. He became an outdoor dog on the farm who avoided most everyone until I found him in the barn one day (11ish years old, maybe heart/kidneys)

What's your point here? That someone educated has joined the discussions? OH NO.

Or are you mad that you can't just spread bullshit and others will just let you be?
