I'm getting kind of tired about this being brought up everytime the Pitbull is mentioned...just my opinion though.

Actually nothing was directed at me ! I did not start this thread and further more when someone introduces there dog as being such then getting upset because he is looked at as a possible pit mix and gets upset?Then why even post this?

Im trying to find the list of the Dogs "Bites" to prove that Pits are not first on the list!

I wouldn't rather either breed to play with young kids. Dogs are dogs, if raised properly most dogs no matter what breed would be just fine with kids. I've had Rottweilers forever and I hear the same things about them as I do pits, but it all comes down to people being uneducated on certain breeds aswell as owners who don't have a clue how to train their dogs..

as the first 'dangereous' breed you can think of? I wouldn't have said that here, rotties are mostly everyone's favorite breed here, including myself. I have a rottie mix and she is the best dog ever! She is good with other dogs, kids, cats, and people. You have your opinion and I have mine.

Your not stupid by any means!!!!You have had a bad experience and that is what has scared you but they are not as bad as people put them out to be....These dogs are being treated like monsters all over they are being used for peoples amusment and to also make them a quick buck and these dogs have it worst of when people get caught for cruelty to pits they get a fine...sad thing the dogs loose there life's and that is wrong!

I think there has been a big misunderstanding on my part and i apologize,I do not care if buddy is a full pit or a mix he is a lovely animal,i just dont agree with when its said to her that he is Zoomer i think he is a pit bull and there is nothing to be ashamed of! I have had many experiences with Pits when i was 16 or 17 i was given a puppy from a old friend of mine the dog was found in a box beside a school it was all brown with those honey colour eyes,beautiful dog,,well pup it did not get to grow into an adult.i only had it for 2 days and i woke up the morning of and he was gone...Im sure now that i know of all diseases and what can happen he might have had Parvo im thinking..and there were no signs he ran and played like a normal pup would...
I do not like the way these dogs are juged i feel as if people should own 10 just to make the law mad! There is a thing in the local paper back home were an older couple are saying that there neighbor have a pit bull and it is bringing down the value of there home?that is obserd right and the only reason they are saying that is because they are influenced by the news!It frustrates me when people (not in here you are all great and see how great animals they are) But they cannot be judged if you have not had contact to one and seen how layed back of a dog they really are!I was walking last night i went downtown and there was a man walking his pit the lead was pretty long and you seen people crossing the road because of "OH NO ITS A PIT BULL" im sure that is why i remained walking with the dog walking toward me As soon as we were getting close the dog was pulling and whinning to get to me Now is that sweet or what?
Of course i stopped,and i had my Lacy with me(Aussie) there was no second guessing the dog i Knew it was sweet.And it was actually very well behaved and i love seeing that i really do cause that is just proving another person wrong....There are many pit bulls that are vicious and there is always the Answer "THE OWNER" a dog cannot make itself vicious..Please for the ones that disagree dont be quick to judge this breed has been around alot longer than some of us have been alive...and i hope this breed survives many years to come!!!But us humans are the only ones that can make this happen!!And in no way have i tried to step on anybodys toes...Zoomer be proud of Buddy no matter what breed he is!!!!No shame in that!
