    Re: Who has a pure-breed?

    Sorry, this a bit long. : (
    But I hope it helps.

    I do not believe in stereo typing any breed of dog.

    I would say that if you read up on the breed standard
    for AKC or the Official Breed clubs etc. that will
    give you a pretty good idea on the characteristics
    of the dog you our interested in.

    Take in mind that hereditary, enviroment and social surroundings
    also can mold your dogs personality too.
    I have 3 dogs:
    2 Akita's and a Norwich Terrier.
    My Norwich fits
    her standard to a capital T personality wise.

    I will talk about my Akita's since you are interested
    in Pits.

    My two Akita's have different personalites, but much
    of their traits are the same and fit their breed
    description under AKC.

    Temperment under their breed standard: (give or take)

    Alert, responsive, dignified and courageous, reserved with
    strangers. (often dominant over other dogs)

    Now this doesn't mean that all Akita's are like this.
    Some Akita's love every human and every dog they meet.
    (but that is not the norm)
    So read between the lines and 2 great sources
    for information on pits, would probably be
    the official Breed club for American Staffs and also
    Pit rescue groups tend to be very honest.

    I strongly advise anybody getting a pure breed dog
    to do their research to make sure it's the right dog
    for their life style.
    Before I got my first Akita I had a long talk
    with a woman who was in charge
    of an Akita Rescue and placement in my area.
    I found her very honest about the breed
    telling me pro's and con's.
    I also read up articles from the ACA Breed Club.

    Hope this helps a bit for informaton for you site for
    choosing a dog. : )

    P.S. I just checked out Buffy at your site.
    She is just adorable, I want to give her cuddles and lots
    of kisses. lol
