Years ago,I had a lovely pug male who was to be my possible foundation stud.He had everything I was looking for.We loved him to pieces.We were away for the weekend and he was killed by a pit bull that was allowed to run loose in the area.My dogs were kept in a fenced yard always.The pit grabbed his leg and shook him from the other side of the fence.He had internal injuries and died before we got home.We were heartbroken and livid at the owner who we did confront.Owner and dog disapeared soon after.Don't worry,we didn't do anything to them,lol.
Even after all we went through,my husband and I do not hate pit bulls.As a matter of fact,my husband had one himself.I have worked with and groomed quite a few at the shop.Only one was people agressive(due to mistreatment) the others were all big babies and wanted to be lap dogs.Some were dog agressive,but some were good with other dogs.I now feel more cautious arround chows,cockers,and lhasas(until I get to know them)than with pits.With all the breeds I have worked with,those three tend to give me the most problems.This is just from my personal experience though.I only wrote this to tell what I have gone through and have seen with this breed,not to try to change minds,but I do like the breed. |
