I enjoyed the show.

Shorty has more guts than a lot of people I know!

I liked the show - Shorty may not have the best people skills ever, but he sure does love those pitties! I loved him trying to get out of bed in the morning, flanked by sleepy pitties, and one of them just wanted to fall back asleep!

they're not doing the breed any justice. making the dogs look like they are only for criminals and scumbags. the little guy has no control of the dogs and needs to trim their nails. animal planet is doing nothing but confirming the medias perception of a dying breed. those are not even american pitbull terriers. they are bullies and cross breeds.

I don't know about the breeds of the dogs, but he is not a criminal or a scumbag. He is a working actor and runs a talent agency. The neighborhoods may not be the best, but that is where he grew up, and I hardly think he can be faulted for that. And he is opposed to breeding and trying to get people to not breed. His dogs do not seem out of control, and he really does seem to love them. Yeah, maybe they need their nails trimmed, but what dog doesn't, from time to time? The dogs seem happy, clean, well-fed and well loved.

he damaged property and stole a dog ..............theres a process that a rescue goes thru to recover an animal

He refuses to get his own dog neutered. I've heard many many people locally lately use his same excuse "oh I wouldn't do that to my dog, but I'm not breeding them". What about the good points of spaying and neutering. A dog can't get testicular cancer or a very common and deadly uterine infection if the parts aren't there. This idiot is just going to further the current trend of not spaying or neutering.

He explained in one episode that his dog had a very bad reaction to the anesthetic the only time he had minor surgery, so he was advised that putting the dog under for getting neutered might kill him.
