Pit bull Debate

[Bonny]

My friends son has a female pit bull he got from the local pound. She is very timid.

My friend takes her along with her in her car to different places & once even on a fund raiser walk.

Her son is very careful with his dog because where he lives there are little children living upstairs in the house apartment.

He takes her to work with him & she sits in his truck on nice days, he is a carpenter by trade.

I would consider him to be a very responsible dog owner not throwing caution to the wind.

The only real warning people need about bully breeds, and the reason I avoid getting one, is hip dysplasia and other joint problems. My sister's dog is only about 8 months and overweight and he has what looks to me like luxating patella in a back knee. I'm working on her now to try and convince her to keep his weight down and see a specialist if she can. I may just go ahead and buy him some joint supplements myself if she's too cheap to do it. Maybe I can convince her to get pet insurance. He's probably going to need it sooner than later.

That's sad.

Brennan is a clearly very poorly bred Pit Bull and I can tell by the way his legs are shaped that he's going to have joint problems in time.

He also has horrible allergies (including a corn allergy), and this is also pretty common in Bully breeds.
