My Pit Bull Got Taken Away From Me!

This is sad. I know there is a DADE county in Miami but not a DAY county. Then, they go and change the dogs sex.

Cheshire... ironically, I've had no bad experiences with my dog and Pitties, but I have had very bad experiences with Labs! I totally respect your opinion though, now that I've gotten a better idea of it. You would know much better than me, having never owned a Pit Bull.

I think it's very responsible that you're so adament about protecting your breed, even if it forces you to miss out on some of the activites. I HAVE seen a few incidents with pretty irresponsible Pit Bull owners that made me question whether they were putting their dog in danger... like, at a very busy farmers market, some man had 2 Pits on very short leads who were straining at their leashes in a not-so-friendly way at passerbys (especially with dogs). In my experience, though, a lot depends on the individual dog, their temperament and their upbringing.

Chesire, I understand you veiw I hold the same veiw on Chow chows (had 2 rescures and Dugan is 1/2) I would not ever want to put one at risk or the public,by having one running free in public. The perseption from the public is important I do try inform when I had them out . Dugan does look a little scary so the people don't rush up to hug him (of course Lady the tongue beats them to him) and stops them from getting to him.He luckly has the newfy personnality but you can never tell if the other breed can come out
I have not had any bad pittie Experances (girl freind raised them for 3 years) .

Now to the troll we should be glad it did get some of us aware of the laws and what can happen to those who try to bust the ban by disobeying the law.

I agree, I can't count the number of labs I have had contact with in the last 7 or so years that were terribly aggressive. Yellow seems to be the worst color for whatever reason that may be. Even a lot of vets, trainers & the like are seeing a lot of agressive labs the last few years.
