You dont like the breed, fine I can respect that BUT being the owner of a pit bull, its hard for me to read all the bad things being said about them. Ebony has NO baggage. She is one of the best dogs around. The media only shows one side of the story when it comes to the pit bull breed. Its not right and its not fair.

I love the breed, its hard to see them being put down all the time. I'm sure not one of you would like to see the breed you love hated as much as the bully breeds. A whole lot of the "sweet souls" languishing" at the shelters happen to be the bully breeds. They will never get a chance for a home when people think and believe they are monsters that attack anything they see.
Jadapit, if poodles were in the paper as often as pitbulls are I would have never owned a poodle either. No one here has said they hated the bully breeds. You are missing the point. It is about freedom to choose. I am glad that you have your dogs and they have you. Everyone should be able to do the same.

Yes my local shelters are full of pitties and pittie mixes. There are ads each week in the local paper where people are selling pittie puppies (inner city people) which obviously know nothing about breeding dogs. These are the very same dogs that wind up at the shelters shortly after, God only know what, has been done to them. You wonder why someone would hesitate to adopt such a dog? Please it is not about hating the breed but being informed as to make the best decision.
