Ive always loved pitbulls, and cant believe some people wouldn't! They are a very good family dog, and very affectionate! People who say pits are bad dogs, or aggresive have never really had one, or they think of the horrible reputation pits have!:(

:( It's sad how most Pit Bulls are mistaked for "bad" dogs, because not all of them are bad! Some of them are so affectionate(sp?) and people don't realize(sp?) most of them are good natured dogs. My uncles, brother had a Pit Bull named Zeus and he was so nice, he loved to cuddle and ADORED kids. But unfourtunatly the dog got hit by a car last summer:(

I agree! I like the site a lot! Thanks for sharing!

But what about all these people who hear about dog attacks, they are such idiots, and they automatically think it's a Pit Bull! And those horror stories:

"A lady was walking down the street, carrying a baby, and then this huge Pit Bull just ripped the baby out of her hands, and tore it apart. Tha lady didn't do anything to the dog, or it's owner's property."

I don't get it! They can be soooo sweet, but then they can be sooooo mean! No offense to you, KayAnn! I know it's the dumb owner's fault if they are mean dogs, though!

Myth: Pit bulls have locking jaws.
Fact: "Locking jaws" do not exist. No one has ever found a mechanism that enables a dog to lock its jaws. However, a pit bull's strength and determination can make it seem as though the dog's jaws have "locked".

I thought they had locking jaws. I have also herd ppl say they have two sets of teeth. :confused:.. I love pitt bulls I hope to own a Bull terrier one day if that counts lol. I love their cute faces!!

Yeah, Pitbulls are awesome dogs.
Because of their backgrounf of fighting dogs, people reject them. There are SO many at the local pound in Arizona.
I'd love to have one, but my mother is so stereotypical (sp?) that she automatically thinks that it is going to attack me. :mad:
I don't think they'd let Pit Bulls be pet and open to adopt if they were going to attack. Am I every bit right? ;)
Pits are great dogs. I've always had a special love for them.

I don't know if ALL dogs can be trained to fight, .....but it is not only this breed that has had a bad name - - -Collies ( Lassie type).There was a time when they were known as " one which could easily turn". What about the G.S.D.??? ( by the way I have owned both) - they were the most fierce of all. My goodness, in the early '70's an entire male or non-sterilised female was not allowed into Western Australia, because of the fear of them inter breeding with other dogs. Mention their name and you would shudder. - - - - now people sell from their back yard, and " Oh yes, it has Shepherd in it, it will be a good dog." (maybe in it's left toenail).........
Then the Bull Terrier ( Pig Dog ) - nasty creature, got to watch those buggers......and the Staffie with it's ""Locking Jaws" - nasty piece of work them.

What about the small dogs, the little terriers, that attack and bite and forget to let go, nothing is ever said about them ( I have had terriers too ),,,,,,,,,and the small Poodle ( I have had many ) they can be nasty too, and bite. - - what is said about them??? Nothing except how smal and good they all are to have in a back yard.

I have never had a Pit Bull Terrier, and they have a bad name here, BUT - like any big dog, it needs training, obedience most of all, . . . . . . . but because it has a "Tough Guy" image, bad people get them and do bad things with them. Some dogs will turn, it does not matter the breed..like humans, some are good, others are not!!!

Bred properly, APBT's are onlly supposed to be 40-50 lbs. Not giant dogs. Those big ones have something else mixed in.
