(Quote from red98vett) Poor Pitts - they have an instinct that most larger breeds don't have - but - ALL larger dogs can hurt a little dog if they have it in their head to do so -
We just had 2 people mauled in Houston just the other day and they put down the dogs. IF pitt owners were MORE responsible - there wouldn't be so many attacks.
I even see teens now walking around with pitts - they think it's like a bad a$$ status thing
- and you know these dogs aren't being treated with kindness -
I guess even a good dog can go bad - Our little dogs can just be too much of a temptation sometimes[/QUOTE]
^^Sorry cant do the quote thing properly... LOL
And thats the problem... Ppl own these dogs because they DO give a bad ass status!! They are used for all the wrong things. Look at the history of bulldogs... they had the same status as pitbulls used just for fighting and when it became illegal to fight them they were no longer needed and thru time became house pets!!! and look just this year that are number 10 on the AKC list! So go figure... it will take time when this breed will finally get the justice it deserves.
