I for one have never had any person offer to buy Alex, or use him as a stud dog. I'm not sure how I would handle it, because in some situations, I'm absolutely horrible about keeping my mouth shut (and sometimes I have to suffer the consequences). I have had someone offer to buy Holly from me, on the spot, at a horse show. I of course said no, I had just gotten her (and if I was ever to sell her we have an agreement with my cousin that she would get her back).

It is always frustrating to see intact dogs, but ESPECIALLY pitbulls. And it is ALWAYS pitbulls. As if there werent enough unwanted pitbulls as it is! They are probably the most misunderstood and mistreated breed of all. Ive been with the humane society for over 10 months now and I would say that pit bulls/pit mixes are definately the most prevelent breed there & Im sure it is the same in other shelters. Theres virtually no apartments that will accept them, they are excluded from many insurance policies, and they are banned from tons of cities. And many shelters automatically euthanize them. Errrrg.
I've been with our shelter for around 4-5 years and many pitbulls come in, being turned in by their owners, or by caring people who found them in a ditch on the side of the road, torn up like heck We have horrible problems with fighting rings here, and the worst part is is the athourities can't arrest the people even if they are positive they are involved! They can only arrest if they catch the people in the act Our shelter will usually not adopt out pitbulls, just because they are afraid that they might fall into the wrong hands, or will do something because of the way they were raised. I love the breed, and it's horrible seeing the dogs chained up in yards because I can tell they aren't always loved and cared for like they should (not all the time, just in certain cases). In fact, our neighboors have a pitty that they got as a puppy a year or two ago, and they keep her chained in their yard. She's a gorgeous dog that's as sweet as she can be, but they don't give her the attention that she needs and deserves. If there was any way possible, I'd take her, but they aren't doing anything illegal. Some people just make me so mad, and sick
