The Most Famous DBRF in American History: A Pomeranian Once Killed a Baby!




"The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog." 

How many times have imbecilic Pit Bull Advocates reflexively parroted the above line making it the most cited DBRF in history?!? 

PART I: THROWING SAFER BREEDS UNDER THE BUS BY IMPOSING A ZERO DEFECT STANDARD

Sure, this 2000 California DBRF of a 3 week old baby infant by an 18 lb Pomeranian was horrifying.... Yet, this Golden BB attack was a bona fide freak accident and statistical outlier. The incident is the only documented case of a Pomeranian causing a DBRF in the history of the breed. In contrast, California's ever increasing Pit Bull body count currently stands at 47 and can be seen below:

The red balloons are pit bull DBRFs.  Almost blocking out the sun in SoCal! 


 pit bull money
A Billion Dollar a year Tax free Pit Bull economy of Dog Fighters, breeders and rescue organizations exists in the United States

Another example of the systematic lies and deception that the Pit Bull economy uses on the public to stay in business is the 2012 incident where a weird, block headed looking Golden Retriever killed a child in South Carolina. A little research reveals that the last American child killed by a Golden Retriever occurred nearly 40 years ago in 1973.  In fact, the CDC DBRF report covering 1979-1998 doesn't list a single DBRF from a Golden Retriever! This is a reasonable safety record considering the size and popularity of the breed yet the pit bull community uses it to throw the Golden Retriever breeders under the bus.  During the last week of June 2013, the pit bull community didn't even make it a week between child deaths and so far in 2013 a pit bull kills an American every 12 days!



 
Horrifying: An owner improvises by using  a tooth pick as a break stick on a fierce Pomeranian 

Actual Pit Bull break sticks which are crafted and sold to pit bull owners with the warning "Never use a break stick on another breed"

 Real world use example:



CASKET STACKING: A Graphical Presentation of Lethality

Back to the Pomeranian vs. Pit Bull Comparison....If one was to stack the caskets of victims on top of each other, the Pomeranian stack would be a minor trip hazard at 23 inches high. The FAA would need to issue a Flight Advisory for the ever-growing Pit Bull stack which is currently at 904.6 Feet tall.   


* As of April 2013. A standard adult casket height of 23 inches was used on the graph resulting in  the Pomeranian Community getting unfairly screwed by nearly 300 percent on the graph. Pit bulls kill adults nearly as often as children so they get screwed just a tiny little bit...Note: Of the 472 documented Pit Bull fatalities, nearly half were adolescents/adults.  This pattern of killing adults in such a high percentage is not seen in other breeds, but the Pomeranian fatality is "horrifying!"

The DBRF which should be the most famous in American history is the Pit Bull mauling death of Bert Colby Leadbetter on Feb 2, 1909....

You see,... Bert's uncle, John P. Colby, was the dog owner, and perhaps the most famous and worshipped Pit Bull breeder in history.  Colby was said to have bred and sold and trafficked  over 5000 fighting Pit Bulls across America and was known as the "Fountainhead of the American Pit Bull Terrier"  as well as "The Mainstay of the American Dog Breeders Association".  Additionally, Colby's APBT "Primo" was also the first dog accepted by the AKC as an American Staffordshire Terrier and served as the Registry's breed standard. Despite having several books written about him by dog fighting freaks, they all somehow omit Bert's untimely death!

The Breed Standard of the APBT and American Staffordshire Terrier is a Kid Killer......
Who knew?!?



PART II: THE LOST DOGS, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE VICK BEAGLES?!?

In another revisionist tale, if you let the pit bull people tell the story, there were only 53 dogs at the Vick complex when it was raided back in April 2007. In fact, there were actually 65 dogs; 53 pit bulls, 9 Beagles, 2 Rottweilers and 1 Presa Canario.  The last media mention about the Beagles and the others was in this August 2008 story
 
One of the Vick Beagles, JR...erased from history by the Pit Bull Advocacy Machine

The 9 Vick Beagles were used for blood donations and baiting, kept in cages, and were totally unsocialized. Yet, amazingly, once released by the court, they were all immediately placed in homes with no rehabilitation, expensive liability insurance or financial dowries!

In contrast, the filing from the Vick Amicus brief where the Pit Bull Rescue requested the following financial resources for the Vick Pit Bull Cash Cows:

"Rehabilitation of fighting dogs is a time consuming, labor intensive effort which requires 4 to 6 hours each day per dog. Qualified trainers earn between $50.00-$75.00 per hour. At 5 hours a day, 30 days a month, this $9,700 dollars per month of training. To this, add food and veterinary care, and the price to rehabilitate a fighting dog is a little more than $10,000 per month. If training and rehabilitating a dog takes 18 months, the cost rises to $180,000 plus the run cost of $10,000 or $190,000 per dog."

Still after a million dollars and 24/7 training, 33 percent of the Vick pit bulls still languish in the above ground cemeteries at Best Friends and other rescues.  Since the Vick bust in April 2007, Pit Bulls have killed 128 Americans and put another 200 into life flight helicopters.  Beagles have zero kills...yet the Pit bull community claims success!  F-Minus Breed Stewardship rating is assigned.

  1. I am thankful my child producing years are well behind me as I live with THREE Pomeranians, so I have nothing to fear there.

    Also, to safeguard myself and my husband, we do not live in an area where there is ever thunder, electric storms, loud construction noises, and we have no ladders in the house.

    We keep multiple break sticks around the house, in the car and everywhere we possibly can in the event one of the Poms just snaps.

    I of course can not end the post without posting this Mythbuster and once again sharing the PHOTOGRAPH and article of the alleged "Pomeranian" that killed the baby.

    1. That is NOT a pomeranian. It may be a mix, but it certainly isn't a full blooded pom. At 18 supposed pounds, that is very large for a pomeranian and should ring some alarm bells. Pomeranians are generally between 3-7 lbs.

      Those ears are NOT a pomeranian's ears.

  2. i don't know. i think that trip hazard looks a little too high :)


    but seriously, there are freak accidents (poms and westies) and then there is gross negligence.

  3. Ah yes, the beloved story of the Pom that killed a baby! Celebrated by nutters the country over. Thanks for the graphic of the caskets, I'll be sure to point to it the next time "OMG A BABY WAS KILLED BY A POM I GUESS WE SHOULD BAN POMS!" comes up.

  4. I believe there is a picture available of the so called "killer Pomeranian."

    it is clearly NOT a Pomeranian.

    This was another mislabeling.

    It was a medium size CHOW mix.

  5. If some people glanced at that early newspaper story, they would think the child-killing dog in Newburyport Mass was what we think of as a "Boston terrier," but of course that term at the time referred to a pit bull terrier of a Boston area line, in this case one of Colby's line of pit bulls. Fighting dogs, bred to kill in ways demonstrated by the attack on the child, purchased by dog fighters to kill.

    Colby got some grief from other dog fighters who complained that Colby was cashing in by selling these pit bulls "outside the game dog community," to "civilians," which he was, and they knew it was a mistake. It was. It just called attention to the dog fighters, and people gradually learned what these people were trying to hide.


    He knew his dogs would kill children, he knew he was breeding a man killing line, yet he kept on doing it and he sold them to people with kids and living in communities with kids. Think of the injury that his dogs and their descendants have caused over the years.

    Never had a licensed business that was ever discovered in some digging and probably didn't pay a dime of taxes either. Would be interesting to see his records.

    That mankiller line has proliferated, and may be in the blood of your neighbor's pit bull.

    The Colby family is still breeding this line of killer pit bulls, last I knew. His grandaughter was shooting her mouth off to the media opposing breed specific laws with the usual lies to protect her family's fighting breed line, right in there with the corrupt jackasses at MSPCA of Boston, the fake humane association, run by cashing-in vets that cater to breeders, and people like AKC affiliated breeder and "show dog" enthusiast unethical Amy Marder DVM who has helped destroy Animal Rescue League of Boston and turn it into a promotion house for fighting dogs. She also works for Betsy Saul Berkey of Animal Farm Foundation aiding and abetting pit bull attacks.

    The infiltration of the dog fighting breeder interests into the Massachusetts fake humane (and breeder connected) organizations like these two is an interesting and pitiful story, involving an educated class like breeder Marder who should know better, but chose to pursue lobbying for pit bull breeders and inevitably dog fighters, and protect breeder business interests over public safety or even humane treatment of the dogs themselves!

    Middle class, unethical creatures like Marder have helped to expand the attacks on pets and people with their lies and lobbying, and pressure on the media and politicians to lie. She has the Animal Rescue League adopting out pit bulls they know will kill other pets. The ones that will kill other pets will also kill kids.

    After a baby was attacked in Lynn Mass, (the pit bull was trying to pull the baby out of the father's child carrier that was on his person to kill it) Marder showed up with the usual lies and liars to oppose muzzling laws that would protect people AND the dogs. How unethical can this poor excuse for a human be?

  6. There is a pit bull rescue operating in Massachusetts importing Brooklyn fighting dogs into the state and selling them over craigslist into unsuspecting homes.
    http://www.capecodtoday.com/news/headlines/2012/01/03/mid-cape-dog-rescue-under-investigation-2236
    The nurse who runs that travesty, Sylvia Mitka or Mifka Logan, Wags n Wiggles Rescue, published under her maiden name how much she loves and admires her Colby bred pit bulls and recommended Colby's book. Yeah, dog fighting! Yeah, man killers! Yeah keep on breeding for these traits!

    She is running this pit bull sales oparation out of a $700,000 plus house on Cape Cod, and Marder appears to have given the ok for this debacle and put pressure on local animal control to look the other way, even though there were also health certificate questions and quarantining failure.

    Think she's telling the people she sells these dogs too how much she admires man killers, or what's in the genes of the fighting breeds she's selling, fresh from the Brooklyn pits.

    This is the pit bull lobby, tied inextricably with the pit bull breeding lobby, and operating under this giuse of "rescue."

    All of this is a lesson to anyone out there who wonders why these lies are perpetuated and who is doing it, and why they get away with it in the media and politicians. Primarily rich educated middle class white women preying on others with these dogs and cashing in, and coming up with these infantile lies and tall tales, that their friends in the media gladly reproduce to "sell" to the ignorant. Selling dogs they admire for their game bred aggression to families, senior citizens, teenagers, college students, ex cons the naive.

    Their political connections also get cops and local authority figures to join in the game, and the bodies keep piling up.

    It's all about the money. Isn't is always?

  7. Colby also breeds fighting birds, and his clientele have posted online about bird fighting, and why they buy his stock. Take a look at an old entry about Colby on the craven desires site.


    Operating in plain sight, with the blessings of the Newburyport cops and mayor I guess and the MSPCA and Animal Rescue League. Maybe some were/are clients?

  8. Thanks for this post about the THIRD attack by Teddy R's beloved pit bull. I wasn't aware of that one or had forgotten it. Its hard to keep track of all the attacks by America's Dog.

    And Colby's dogs have been called Boston Terriers, and he advertised his pit bulls as bull terriers, bulldogs, and pit bull terriers.

  9. Pete has been credited with at least five attacks.

  10. It is amazing that people drink the Kool Aid and justify taking risks with the lifes of innocent people. It is almost like the deaths prompt these weirdos to like the dogs more.. SICK.

  11. You forgot one thing: a majority of attacks are done by unaltered males. In fact, that makes up 90% of all attacks. How many of those dogs listed are just labeled "pit bulls", just because of their looks? There is close to a dozen breeds that look like pits, and that doesn't include mixes, like American Bulldogs/lab mixes, and boxer/lab mixes. Also, these are not just dogs you can throw in your backyard. They need stimulation, they are highly intelligent, and highly driven. If you cannot provide the proper mental stimulation that these dogs need, like any other breed, they can become aggressive. They also have a lot of allergies, and food allergies have also been proven to be a source of aggression.

    . I have known many pit bulls, as I worked with dogs, and only one has ever attacked. The circumstances surrounding that, was that he was tied to a tree for several months on a six foot tether, with a bullet lodged into his leg. The only human interaction he had during that time, was his POS owner feeding him and giving his water. Not even for clean up. The poor dog was surrounded by his own feces, and even had burns from his own urine, as it soaked the ground around him. He bit several rescuers, who were just trying to help him, but it was out of fear, not aggression. He is fine now, and is a therapy dog, for wounded vets, being rehabbed. Living near Fort Carson, I know for a fact, that the number one breed used as therapy dogs for disabled vets in this area, are pit bulls.

    I was attacked by a lab, when I was a teenager, I know two people who were attacked by golden retrievers as children (those attacks are rising due to poor breeding), with both of them needing surgery. Working with dogs, the most bites I have had, or narrowly missed, came from dachshunds, who were bred to hunt badgers. Then it was cattle dogs, chihuahuas, huskies, cocker spaniels (Google "cocker rage"), an assortment of other little dogs, and two German Shepherds.

    Ask any vet, vet tech, doggy daycare workers, etc., about pits, and you will get the same answer over and over again. One, maybe two, pit bulls that they see on a regular basis are aggressive. Then ask about dachshunds and chihuahuas.

    Just because a dog is smaller, it doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be aggressive, or that it is any better. It is just as bad. Also, BSL doesn't work, and has been proven not to work, because the same irresponsible people that would raise a "bad pit", will also apply their poor raising skills to other breeds. In some cases, serious bites and attacks actually escalated in those areas In fact, several countries that enacted BSL, have thrown it out the window, because bites have been increasing.

    I'm sure you are set in your ways, but as a victim of a pretty bad dog attack, and a victim of dozens of dog bites, I have no grudges about any breed, only towards the people who do not breed, or care for their dogs properly, that lead them to biting.

  12. Hi Anoni-Nutter

    The fact that you are compensated for "working" with Pit Bulls is not germane to the public safety situation.

    More pit bulls equals more blood money for the industry.

    PS...Quit provoking Labs!

  13. At last, the voice of common sense. Thank you. Gayle Button - Paws With Potential Dog Training. BSL is flawed in that ANY dog can bite, given the wrong circumstances. I thought I would share a website where more information and education is available on dog bite prevention go to Doggone Safe website
