A new neighbor moved into our quiet neighborhood a few years ago. He had two Rotweilers that he took everywhere with him in his truck. One evening the police came down the street, searched his truck and arrested him for dealing drugs. He had been using the dogs to guard the stash in the truck. Nice. Then the house was sold and we got new neighbors.

Pieter, On another note. I was walking my two labradors in San Diego and a woman with a pit bull on a lease was coming toward me. I put both of my dogs on a lease and proceeded to walk toward her. The pit bull ran toward us and she could not hold him. He jumped on the back of my black lab and started to chew on his neck. I grabed in by the nape of the collar and threw him to the ground and put my knee on his neck pinning him to the ground. I told the woman if she could not handle him I would put an end to him. She grabbed the leash and went back the way she came. I said I would not be so kind next time. Never saw her again. Jim Jim, This is amazing, because I had nearly exactly the same experiance in Arnhem, when I had to take care one weekend of a big (friendly) Labrador of a friend of mine. Actually he was a mix of a Labrador and a German shepperd, but he had the character of a Labrador (not that of a German Shepperd). I like Labradors and Golden Retrievers, because they are the best friends of humans, and friendly to children. So one saturday in the late ninetees I was taking care of this dog, who was called Nietsche (after the German philosopher, sometimes I wondered if Friedrich was reincarnated as a dog, because this dog had some human behavoir, like sitting on a chair when friends of my friend where at his place, and following the discussion of the fellows around the table), and just outside the door there was a lovely little girl (8 or 9 years old, Indonesian half blood) playing with a pitbull. And before I knew what was happening the same happened as you described with your two dogs and the San Diego Pit Bull. Nietsche got into a dog quarrel or fight with the Pit Bull and the Pit Bull bites Nietsche in his neck. I went outside and tried to pull the pitbull of Nietsche's neck, but the Pittbulls teeth and jaw were very tight attached to Nietsche's neck. And I started worrying, because I did not know what to do (unlike you). I grabed the dog around his neck and started pulling harder and harder. Getting more agigated by the minut, because I was thinking about the doctors bill if Nietsche wood be badly injured, and I was simply worried about Nietsche's health and did not like to see the kind dog suffering. Suddenly the little girl (it was hard to get angry at the little girl, which was a sweet child) touched the Pitt Bull, stroked it gently and spoke a few sweet words, and the dog let loose. And I was glad that Nietsche had a tough skin because he did not have any injuries, but a bad memory. The parents of the sweet child are crazy to let this girl play or live with a monster like that. I have read several stories in Holland that babies were killed by Pitt Bulls and kids or adults that were wounded or mutulated, because of the attacks of Pit Bulls or other agressive dog races. On another occasion Nietsche was hurt, when he broke loose from his line, and ran towards the neighbourdog, a Lassie with sharp teeth who bit him in his large nose or front of his head. He had a big wound just under his eye from the dogfight. Nietsche was friendly but not always that intelligent, because he sometimes wanted to test his strength with larger or more agressive (trained or bad character dogs), and he was a very strong dog. If he wanted to go you had a hard time to stop him. I always thought that he behaved like that as a protest against the fact that he was castrated. But I don't know for sure. Nietsche died a few years ago from elderdom. Pieter P.S.- Running away for the Dobberman was the only time that I reached the level of a top sportsman. It was literally running for my life. Again I think that it was my fear, a couple of guardian angels that accompanied, and the lord who heard my boyish prayer of that moment, who saved me at that moment. Ofcourse the lord thought, let that boy run for a while, I haven't seen him in the church for a while. ;D

Jaga, Did you read the following review? Borat and Kazakhs jagahost.proboards79.com/index.cgi?board=books&action=display&thread=1163395892The man (Sacha Baron Cohen), who portray Borat is Jewish. According to a US State Department report on human rights violoations around the world - Borat is suffering "human rights violoations" at the hands of the Kazakh government! Can life get any more absurd? Yes, Sacha was born in England and he comes from traditional Jewish family. To portray Kazahs like that is a bit out of place. The Jewish lobbies in America cannot accuse him of being anti-semitic since he is a Jew. I met some Kazahs and they have very different features. I do think that this is more of the joke about American culture than the Kazahs one.

Kazachs have an asian feature and certainly look not like Slavic people, only the large Russian minority does. Pieter

Pieter,
the Jews who participate in the conference in Iran are anti-zionists, so you are right to the certain extend at least

Jaga,
I was watching the Borat movie yesterday, and nearly died of a heart attack, because of my laughing, I could'nt stop. The culture clash makes the movie funny and the extreme political incorrectness. The Old Dacia with horses in front of it, the silly disco dancing in the Rumanian village, his arrival in New York and the miscommunication that appears. The chickens in the Subway, his visit to an elderly jewish couple, the terrible wrestling with the gypsy man and the two guys running naked through a meeting at a hall, Borat being baptised, Borat chasing Pamela Anderson and Borat singing the Kazakh national anthem in a Rodeo stadium in the South.

Jim, Pieter, terrible stories with the pitbulls. I would never want to have such dog, I wish they banned them. Jaga, I agree with you totally, and in the Netherlands they are forbidden, but in the same time you stil see them everywhere (illegally). It is very hard to ban them, because there are a lot of rediculous people who like them. These people put the lives of their kids at stake and in the same time the lives of other people. It's proven that because of the way this race is bread, it has faults (unreliebilities) in it's genes. It is a dangerous animal. Criminals, a-social people in general, Hooligans, Skinheads and foreign thugs like these animals in the Netherlands (and other people), because in this way they can intimidate others, dominate streetcorners, have gang gatherings and bread this race into more extreme behavior. I have never seen normal people with these dogs, only people with dark intentions, tatood criminal types. I remember the Pit Bull fights in my neighbourhood when it still was the red light district. Pieter
