I really don't think so


!Alle Meschen leben unter dem selben Himmel, aber nicht alle haben den gleichen Horizont!!!

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


clever got me this far then tricky got me in



"trust no bitch"

If you see it that way, than all gogs are bred to guard us... it's like allways the human who made them that way... they humans rased them to do fights... so it isn't the dogs fault...

well..i love pitt bulls...they awesome dogz

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.

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!

I have a pit bull and she wouldn't bite anything outside of her food dish.

love them.. and all animals...

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.

Ok, Spiderswing432,
If you can quote there are no bad guns, just bad gun owners, then how can you be so against pit bulls? The same is true about Pits or any other dog for that matter as it is about guns. I am bathing dogs for a living now. I have bathed several pits or pit mixed dogs and not one of them have ever been agressive towards me as other breeds have. I don't hold any agression agianst that particular breed because I am wise enough to recongnize that it could have been me that was off that day. When I was six years old I was bitten by a great dane, I am not afraid of great danes, I made a bad choice. I almost lost my arm because of that experience but I don't blame that great dane or am I afraid of any great dane because of that experience, and I love pit bulls. Pit Bulls are one of the most loyal and affectionate breeds of dogs I have ever come to know.


All living beings have the right to live and be happy.

Pit Bulls, although not my favorite breed of dog should not be banned any more than any other dog. I do feel that the owners should be held irrefutibly responsible for the actions of their pets.For example if the dog a person owns attacks and kills a human being the owner should be charged with manslaughter. And if the dog attacks someone it should be considered assault with a deadly weapon, especially if it a larger breed of dog.


Intent is the measure of heart

It's like kids. Their actions and behavior is a reflection upon how they were brought up. Not all pit bulls are bad. My aunt had one that passed away of old age and he was the coolest, sweetest dog ever.


All this time looking for love, trying to make things work thast wern't good enough, till I'm through, said I'm done, then stumbled into the arms of the one. I love you Ryan.

I actually work at a no-kill animal shelter and have delt with pit bulls a lot. Most issues we have with the dogs, they are pits or a mix with a pit. I don't trust them and I never will. I think there is something in a pits mind that can "snap" and they will never be the same again. I do agree that any dog can be agressive, but really don't think that pit bulls should be pets anymore. Just my personal opinion. I've seen what even the most loved and trained pit can do to a person and another animal!
