Well, I was personally lunged at by a pit bull at a dog park in plano. It scared the crap out of me. If he hadn't been on the leash, I would have been hurt. And, my dog, Bruno, was mauled by a pit bull that I had just the day before walked right past (the pit bull was even off leash then) with him, and, no problems. I love pits, don't get me wrong. But, I've heard more horror stories about them directly from sources (either the owner or the people that were horrified) about that breed than any other. I am not blaming the breed at all, anyone who has read any of my posts in the past, know that I'm just as in love with the breed as a lot of the owners. I think they make fantastic pets. But, the fact is, they can be and are trained more frequently than a lot of other breeds to be ugly and mean like that, simply because of the stereotype placed upon them. I mean, you tell someone they're ugly and worthless, chances are they're going to feel ugly and are more likely going to become worthless. And, a lot of the people that breed them are not doing it responsibly at all. I know three people off the top of my head that have had to have their dogs put down because they were dangerously agressive (that's what happens when you get dogs from the type of people they got theirs from). I even warned two of them from buying from the breeders they chose to go to. They unfortunately learned that lesson all too well. I'm not saying that all breeds can't be and aren't vicious at times, too, with inappropriate breeding, or agressive training.Quote:
