I definitely agree with this.
As I said in an above post -- I would NOT own a Pit Bull. 1) I don't think they're that cute, they're not my style of dog, that's not to offend anyone 2) I'm not a strong minded enough owner to control such a powerful dog 3) I wouldn't want to deal with the stereotypes. 4) They tend to be hyper. I don't think they're bad dogs. Every Pit I've met has been a sweetheart to me and to my dog. I'm not necessarily defending Pit Bulls but I see so much bias against big dogs in general on this board and I think it's kind of unfair to assume they're going to kill our Yorkies or something. I think trust is very important with dogs, if you don't trust or respect them, they aren't going to do the same to you. My aunt used to own a Rottweiler who was an absolute sweetheart but my mom doesn't like dogs in general and was terrified of him. He could totally sense her energy and did growl at her once. Me - even as a young kid, I was so comfortable around that dog, he would give me kisses, and love me to death.
