Grrrrr..... I Hate Stupid People.

Dog aggression and Human aggression are VERY different. A sound dog will never turn on you. Where do you get your information? Pit bulls were bred to bait bulls originally and then were fought but they were bred to be human friendly when people fight dogs, they would pull them off the dog and they woudln't bite them. They used to be America's top dog. There are many pit bull service dogs and I do not think they have the potential to be aggressive.

http://www.atts.org/stats1.html APBTs look they pass more than a lot of breeds out there. No sound dog no matter what breed turns on you. A lot of the BSL is from the media and the reporters cause it by publishing the stories. You know a lot of people these days can't tell what a true APBT is. APBTs are not the dogs with huge heads and big bodies.

A true APBT is a medium size dog and they are the biggest people pleasers and lovers. I just don't understand why you guys are berating her
(You're not Sarah so don't worry I don't mean you.) THis is why Jadapit left.

Good post!!! You summed up everything I used 3 posts for LOL... but in short, dog and animal aggressive yes, human aggressive never. Unless the individual dog is unsound. But I'd rather be around an unsound APBT than a sound rottie, gsd, or lab ANY day.

And yes people perception of the image is wrong too. Nowadays you hearly xxl, pocket pit, most of those dogs being a completely different breed, the newly emerged American Bully which belongs to the ABKC.

What people don't know they fear. Im glad you guys let me join so I could share my two cents

Coming in very late to this post. I think you missed an opportunity here. Instead of that semi-sarcastic remark, why didn't you take a little time for education? If you had simply taken a couple of minutes to tell her about your dog - his breed, his age, his name, what a wonderful companion he has been - you might have made a convert. You could have invited her to pet him. The possibilities were endless - and wasted.

I agree with this entirely... However I know Tye and if you knew her like I do you would understand that it's like taking your kids to soccer practice, taking them to debate club, stimulating their physical side and their intellectual side and then someone saying "soccer is for punks!"

I'm not going to lie. I read a lot of the posts and I was a bit angry. Not many worded what you said like you. But then again most people speak before thinking, and that's more so when you are truly passionate about the things you love. Its a work in progress, I believe. We learn every day, even when we fail to educate.

I posted also because the stigma around this dog is absurd.

And we welcome anyone because even if you never own one of these dogs, but you can truly understand it, even spreading the good word to one person fights the fight that responsible APBT owners everywhere struggle with.

I don't think caseysmom is making anything against you. She just said this thread is an uproar and some people go on and on. I can't speak for anyone but myself.. but I am very disappointed in the people who are judging you and dragging this on and on when they need to let it go. Enough already. I think you all made your point there is no need to go on about it how she doesn't have him neutered. So what? She isn't adding to the pet overpopulation problem - she shows him and is very responsible! I have no problem with people leaving their dogs intact to show if they are not showing or breeding responsibly (responsible breeders these days are hard to find) , I have a problem with it.

What I have a problem with is people being so judgemental.. She came here to vent and rightfully so. So can't you just give her a break and let this go? If you can't say something nice don't say nothing at all. BTW I am not trying to start something, this just needs to stop. She can vent if she wants. You may not agree with a vent, but I think coming to a board to vent is great. She never called the lady stupid to her face, so why does it matter so much?
