Sara,

That was very well said.

I agree with everone here. You should only own animals if you want to accept the responsibility of your animals actions and other peoples. I preach to my children about responsibility all of the time. I know the breed having been around nothing but from the time I was an infant. I am not worried , it was my husband. I am not afraid of the breed. They can be the most loving of animals and the greatest of protectors. I am sorry but I dont believe they can just snap, there has to be something to trigger it. THANK YOU everyone for all of the info.

as long as you are satisified.
Anytime we make a decission, we have to know allll sides of something before we take the "plunge"... Good luck..

And this is VERY true.
To the untrained eye it may seem there was nothing to trigger an attack. Every single dog gives out some sort of warning, wether it be vocal, posture, or looks. An experienced dog owner will know when their animal is upset or bothered by something and can correct it before anything happens.

Something that doesn't seem reasonable to attack/bite/bark over may look completely different from a dog's point of view.

EXACTLY!! I can read my dogs body language like a book that includes my pit bull.

Heather, I'm truly sorry this thread went where it did. You and your family are going to make wonderful, responsible pit bull owners. I hope you come back to share pictures and stories when you get the new baby.

I have one problem with the stuff borzoimom was saying.... I was just reading o another thread and she made references to the show " dog whisperer". If she has seen this then she has to have seen and heard how he talks about pitties. He hardly ever has one of them on a leash. I dont understand her. He has all of his dogs in one pen and they are fine. She confuses me.....

Oh, how sweet! Thank your dad for me would you? Thank you also, I think she's beautiful too. My son gave her to us. She was his dog but his job didn't allow him to spend the time with her like he should. Also, he lives in Aurora Colorado they did a ban on pit bulls. You were allowed to keep one if you owned them before the ban.

My son saw both her parents. Mom was all white, dad was black. So she is both colors.

Cesar adores the pit bulls. He has taken ex fighting dogs then rehabilitated them to live in his pack. He uses Daddy (pit) all the time to help with problem dogs. What do you think of this borzoimom? That dog have NEVER went at or hurt one single dog not ever.....

Thank you!! I dont understand how she cant see that they can do and be good . He makes people look at all of the breeds differently. As my husband said, she is only going to believe what she wants so there is no point in trying to change that.
