I didn't read your opinions... cause I couldn't stand it.

I think that dogs behave the way they were teached and that the bad Pitt Bulls some of you think to know act the a theydo because of their owners and nothing else.... and if we're honest, we can see tht on the small dog races... the "nice" ones, cause they are small and can't do that much, no one fears them, the owners rase them wrong and they grew up to little barkers. ...

So all in all.... Pitt Bulls are like every other dog, and if you want t blame someone than the owners... no one else.


I love Pit bulls

they are by nature mean dogs though. Just like my Rotwiler he's pretty nice most of the time but he I seen him go after people unprovoked, Pitts do the same thing. They were bred to be mean.

It doesn't matter cause they were, they were bred to guard you while you sleep and to fight each other.

Here are some excerpts taken from badrap.org.
These people are pit bull experts, and have done many studies on dog behaviour.

Aren't Pit Bulls MEAN and VICIOUS?
No more vicious than golden retrievers, beagles or other popular dogs! In a recent study of 122 dog breeds by the American Temperament Testing Society (ATTS), pit bulls achieved a passing rate of 83.9%. That's as good or better than beagles ... 78.2%, and golden retrievers ... 83.2%. How did your favorite breed do? See for yourself: ATTS.org
In the ATTS test, a dog is put through a series of confrontational situations. Any sign of panic or aggression leads to failure of the test. The achievement of pit bulls in this study disproves once and for all the old tired belief that pit bulls are inherently aggressive to people.
Like any breed of dog, a healthy pit bull that is properly raised will remain loving and friendly. In the past 20 years, we've seen some sad examples of poorly bred and badly treated dogs that are the byproducts of irresponsible 'backyard breeders' and cruel and abusive homes. These improperly raised, unsocialized creatures can show temperaments far removed from the traditional authentic pit bull. Don't confuse these unfortunate misbreds with the huge majority of well-loved dogs in this country that remain solid in temperament, affectionate, trustworthy and friendly to their dying day.

Don't pit bulls have to be TRAINED TO FIGHT?
NO! Pit bulls are terriers, and terriers tend to be scrappy with other animals if unsocialized, poorly managed or otherwise left to their own devices. Just as farmers have used Jack Russell Terriers to do battle with badgers, foxes and other animals, unscrupulous people have exploited the terrier drive in pit bulls against other dogs for 'entertainment' purposes. Like many breeds, pit bulls can run the gamut from very dog aggressive to exceptionally dog friendly, but each dog shares some potential to fight other dogs if mismanaged. Avoiding dog fights involves understanding terrier traits and basic canine behavior in general.

Will a pit bull that shows aggression towards other animals go after PEOPLE NEXT?
No. Aggression towards other animals and human aggression are two totally different things. We've heard this frightened quote, "He went after a dog (or cat) and our kids might be next!". This is one big MONSTER of a myth that has generated a host of damaging anti-pit bull hysteria. It is perfectly 'normal' for a pit bull to be wonderfully affectionate and friendly with people, while at the same time not 100% trustworthy around other dogs. Like any breed of dog that we see in family homes today, a properly raised, well socialized, responsibly owned pit bull should never be human aggressive. Pit bulls that do show truly aggressive behavior towards humans are not typical of the breed and in some cases, should be humanely euthanized.

Are pit bulls unpredictable around CHILDREN?
Pit bulls have enjoyed a long history as favorite children's companions and family pets. When well socialized and properly raised, they're the perfect breed to tolerate the rough and tumble play that kids can dish out. Pit bulls tend to be drawn to the joyful optimism of children and love to meet them with tails awaggin'! Some APBTs may not be suitable with young children because they could knock them down in their exhuberance. Common sense dictates that children should be taught how to properly interact with dogs (of EVERY breed) and should never be left alone with a dog unsupervised.

Please check out this website: badrap.org

No matter what your view on pit bulls, you should at least look in on what the professionals have to say.


...life doesn't begin until you start living it...

So don't be sad when I speak my mind!

Glad to see that some folks can still see things for what they are.
Big problem in the USA today...no one is accountable any more. People no longer have boundaries therefore by default neither do their kids or pets.
Every situation, belief or hobby has it's bad apples. It is the people with enough IQ that give us any chance of sensibility.
