My ex-husbands father bred pitbulls and they are the friendliest, most loyal dogs I have seen (until now that I have my Yorkie). But yes, I used to be scared sh*tless of pitbulls.. NOT because I have been attacked by one or any of my family or closest friends, BUT because of the stories on the news about attacks.
ANY ANIMAL - treated the way some HUMANS treated pitbulls for fighting WILL be very dangerous - regardless of its size. Only reason why a pit causes so much damage because they are very strong dogs!
FYI: from http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-pitbulls.htm
" A well-raised pit bull of proper temperament is the most loyal and loving dog in the world, bar none. " |
Also, Pitt bulls are from the "terrier" line...
