I'm lucky, my first dog was a dane/ pit, and the only reason we gave him backe was he was rambuncious and large and already was mouthy and nocked my two year old sister over. My mom and step-dad don't really discriminate at all. My mom just had to have a "dangerous dogs" meeting with some local doctors and succided in persuading them all that it is NOT the breed, and that BSL does absolutley nothing. My dad's a little weary of them though. He thinks I'm weird to love them, when I see them I tell him I have the urge to hug their big faces and he's like "ok, whatever". With my mom and step-dad though, any friendly dog would be welcomed to visit any time. (just not stay for good because out house is a zoo, you know ) My mom calls Niño her "vicious little puppy" because she recons he's at least 1/2 pit bull. I think he's also ACD but she said his eyes are exactly the same as the Am Staffs we met at the IKC dog show.
