not trying to make anyone like the breeds....you can hate whatever breed you want because that is your choice....I love Pit-bulls, have had nothing but good experiences with them, you can throw whatever stats around ya want, whether they support or bash the breeds that make up the Pit-bull family, but stats mean nothing to people who have had personal experiences, good or bad
Obviously, pit-bulls are a popular breed in America, among several different kinds of owners. Pit-bulls who just "snap" more than likely were abused, starved, or inbred. Many breeders know the popularity of the breed and stupidly will breed brothers and sisters for a profit making inbred offspring that, just like humans tend to be, come out 'retarded'. If someone gets a pure-bred pitbull as a pup, socializes him with every one and everything, he will be an amazing dog. Pit-bulls are the most loyal dogs (something that I have read in COUNTLESS dog owner books)...but thats just the thing, they are so loyal that once they are raised in an environment, anything that was not introduced is a potential threat to their owner in the pit-bulls eyes....we have 2 pitbulls on my ranch that are way 2 different dogs...both are amazing dogs around the family, but the female is very suspicious of strangers and will watch every move they make with her ears perked up just making sure no one makes a wrong move to anyone in my family...but once that person comes around more, she warms up to them. The male, on the other hand, loves EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. When he was a pup I took him everywhere, my dad took him to work, my friends all have fallen in love with him. One day some kids had their rotweiller on the lake-road outside the entrance to our ranch, our dog went down there tail wagging to play, (we saw him trotting that direction) then we heard the kids yelling and screaming and heard the dogs getting into it....when we asked the kids what happened they said OUR dog jumped theirs which i was suspicious they were lying, and i told them "Buster loves playing with other dogs and he has never attacked any other dog he's confronted"...after that they said ".....oh...he doesnt?!?!" and you could tell by the way they said that that they had lied and then they apologized and left.......
bottom line.....if you're going to own a pitbull in town, you better socialize it with babies, elder ppl, hispanics, blacks, whites, and other animals...that way it will be more welcoming of those because like I said they are EXTREMELY loyal and ready to defend their home and owner....it is wise to get a pup from a more known breeder...sry but getting a pitbull pup from any kind of trash is asking for one thats probably inbred...treat it well, give it affection, and you will be rewarded with the most amazing dog breed ever....they are very smart, very instinctive, very athletic, very playful, and have a high pain tolerance which makes them GREAT around kids.....but if you raise it secluded from other ppl or animals than it is going to be cautious of anything, making it a GREAT guard dog, but ya better be living in a rural area and not a residential area.......
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE OWNERS AND HOW THEY RAISE THE DOG!!!!!
Every pit (except inbred) has the potential to be a great dog...and those of you who say the only good one is a dead one..you have done nothing but shown your ignorance and I actually pity you because if you are THIS closed minded about pitbulls, i'm willing to bet youre closed minded about several othr things and are probably someone no one likes to debate with because you are biased with skewered facts
