Pigs can and will fuck you up.
But they can also be very cute.

If that dog thought that he wasn't just playing, he would just eat it.
I'm not a dogologist, but look at that thing. That ain't no cat.194
u/bro9000 Sep 13 '16
I'm honestly surprised the dog didn't snap at it. I've gotten nipped by piglets and that can sting if they get a fleshy bit.

Pitbulls generally love that kind of play, assuming they are well cared for and socialized, as this one clearly is.

In my post history, you'll see a Boston Terrier and a pitbull. The Boston treated the pitbull the exact same way and he loved every minute of it.

u/iheartbeavers Sep 14 '16
My old pit mix was the same way. She loooved playing like this, but she was also insanely vocal so I could never let her play too rough in public because it would scare people less familiar with big dogs. She would just start doing an open mouth growl type of thing and wouldn't stop the whole time she played. It was kind of ridiculous.

Can you come explain this at my dog park? The people there really don't get my dog (or theirs for that matter).

Sep 14 '16
there's no explaining it - there's a very natural dog pecking order that some people don't understand - I think I've seen 2 dog fights (not mine) in my very tenured life - some people think of them as lesser dogs but human at the same time - it's weird - don't ever apologize - just say "they'll figure it out" to the owner or if that's too strong of wording something along the lines of "s/he's never ever done anything - s/he's just a bit playful in a different way" - it's helped me diffuse a lot of people with their fashion accessory dogs quiet a bit - but you'll always encounter someone unable to reason and that's the tough one - to those people I have to say "they're dogs - they have their own nature - we have ours - they figure it out" and then call down my dog so I don't have some insane person yelling at me that just doesn't get it

The problem is people don't train their dogs correctly. Most of the dogs you meet are the biggest fucking assholes in the dog world.
Doing no no's like running straight up to my dog past me, then sniffing its face immediately. Well guess what, I have a bulloxer (American Bulldog and Boxer mix) who is an absolute sweetheart to humans and animals. But she doesn't take kindly to rude dogs, and will put these dogs in their place as soon as they show their rudeness.
People get all mad like - "Your dog just nipped at mine"
Well, you fucking stupid human, if I came up to you and started touching your boobs (sniffing your face in the dog world) without proper manners and asking if I could first, you'd fucking snap at me too. Train your dogs. Put them on a leash. Let them know their boundries and you won't have my dog taking a piece of your stupid dogs.
I love my dog for this. She's so alpha and doesn't take shit.

Question:
My house also has a terrier and pitbull running around in it playing. They've rough housed since they were puppies but now the pitbull is bigger and I don't think he knows exactly how strong his nips are for the terrier. The other day he broke a little skin but he backed off immediately after. He knows not to nip people though. What are the correct ways to teach the pitbull to not nip the terrier so hard?
10
u/do_u_think_i_care Sep 14 '16
Don't allow the play if you don't want it. You are the leader. Give them their boundries.
Your other option is to let them be dogs and figure it out.

The other poster hit the nail on the head. Both of mine came away with a little mark here and there, no blood, just more like scrapes, and usually whoever got hurt would make a loud noise and get pretty rough back.
Dogs are smart. They'll figure it out. I promise you it's because the pitbull has no clue how big he is since the Terrier probably ran things when the pitbull was a pup.

More accurately, any bulldog relative has no reaction to "pain" in the face and neck area. Nose and eyes are the only soft spots.
My 2yr old Boston Terrier can be picked up by the neck and even just the skin and she doesn't give a fuck.11

That's not true.
They can and foo feel pain, just like any other dog. They are just inclined to ignore the pain to please their master/continue whatever it is they are doing.
So yes they feel pain, they are just loyal enough that they won't react much to it.

Source? And not just personal story - like an actual scientific source for this information

u/SomeRandomMax Sep 14 '16
"Don't feel pain" is bullshit. "Have a very high pain threshold" is true. I don't have a source, but spend a little bit of time at the dog park and you will see plenty of pits playing very rough like this, and not getting upset at all.
As for "actual scientific sources", not really a humane way to do the research, so I doubt you are likely to find a source comparing various dogs pain thresholds. Considering pits were bred for fighting it shouldn't be surprising. Many other working breeds also have high pain thresholds.

One of my favorite movie speeches of all time.
"You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, 'as greedy as a pig.' "

u/fletcherwyla Sep 14 '16
Robert Pickton took that to heart. He killed 49 women in British Columbia, fed the bodies to the pigs, and then slaughtered the pigs and possibly fed them to people at his restaurant and gatherings which were organized through his charity, the Piggy Palace Good Times Society, which were mostly just fronts for raves with prostitutes. He was only convicted of 6 murders and charged with 20 more, even though he confessed to his cellmate that he had killed 49 and wanted to make it an even 50.

My first day of kindergarten we met the school principal. He had half a hand on one side. I asked him because I was five and didn't have my nosy under control.
A pig ate part of his hand when he was a baby. It got loose, got in their house and ate part of his hand. He then taught us a lot about pigs. Which was not terribly relevant in Metro Phoenix.
However, I have never forgotten the lesson that 5 year old me learned: Pigs will eat you.

It's not cute, it's very aggressive behaviour. This should not be allowed otherwise the behaviour is going to continue when the pig is older and much bigger/powerful. It can cause serious damage to the dog and what's going to happen when he dog does defend itself? The dog will get blamed because of the way it looks.

Typically, hunting pigs with dogs is at least a three dog operation. Traditionally, a cur is used as the bay dog and then there's an alpha and beta pit. The bay dog stays in front of the pig cutting off escape and the alpha will go for an ear and the beta follows with the other ear. Then the dogs hold/pin the pig till a human literally hog ties the pig. If the dogs killed the pig the meat would be useless from the adrenaline of the fight. Not to mention wild pork is too lean, and needs to have the of taste of eating acorns worked out of its system.

Apparently this is because dogs arr predators and pigs are "prey", so they have different styles of play. The pig sees the dog's play as aggression, but the dog is well-trained enough to not attack in return.

This isn't an animal being a jerk, the two are playing and the pit bull is being nice about it (the way s/he opens their mouth to the side of the pig plus laying down during the whole encounter is common among dogs, it's basically a way to handicap yourself when playing with something clearly smaller than you).
