That sucks. Have people never said anything about Jada before? I would think people would have thought she was a pit bull and that you would already be used to hearing such crap. I'm glad you haven't had to experience that with her, but, sad that you are with Ebony already. Maybe what you could do is just put something together about bad breeding and bad training and bad owners, and, carry a few brochures or pamphlets in your back pocket or something. And, when they say something stupid, just politely say "if you really want to know about the breed, read this"....I would try your best never to be ugly about it, because people are genuinely afraid, ya know? To someone genuinely afraid and who's never heard or seen anything but "killer pit" and things like that, it must be hard for them to understand why anyone would have a dog like that. They're just as confused as to why you have a dog that they know as vicious as you are to why they're idiots. Seriously, though, I know it will get on your nerves and you will get tired of hearing it, but, I would just try to take each opportunity and at least attempt to educate them. If you act out or respond negatively, they'll just go on thinking what they think and on top of that will just think that pit bull owners are mean, too. I don't know, I'm rambling. It's just thoughts......I wish you the best of luck in raising pretty Ebony.
