I mentioned BYBs and puppy mills because those are the types of institutions that churn out tiny puppies for the gullible, impuslive public. I'm sure you know people with yappy Chihuahuas and vicious Poms, but those people usually bought their dogs from unscrupulous breeders, such as BYBs and puppy millers. Those "people" advertise their tiny puppies using coy tactics to trick you into believing their dog is 'special'. The owner really *does* think the dog is somehow more special than other dogs and that's part of how all this spoiling and babying happens to these dogs, with no regards to obedience training. On the other hand, a reputable breeder of any breed will extensively screen you and the prospective owner knows not to mollycoddle the dog and to give it proper obedience training.

As for Pit Chick's comments, I don't know what goes on between her and her pits but those "nicknames" were completely uncalled for.
lil $h!t dogs
That one is just as false and degrading as calling Pits "baby killers". I know all Pit fans have been very disappointed with the false stereotypes placed on their dogs, but *nothing* gives them the right to belittle other breeds.
