Probably not many.... so ALL of these dogs of many different breeds, could bite someone and be mistakenly labeled under a Pit Bull Attack statistic. |
Wow! Now that's an eye opener! My father in law has a pit. Named Jake. He is 12 yrs old and would not harm a fly! My kids sit on him, play all over him and not once has he ever even appeared unhappy about it. My dh was raised with pits and that would be his dog of choice. However, I wanted a Yorkie (for my lap
). I will say being an owner of a Pit is a very different level of responsibility than owning a smaller dog. They are extremely strong and determined! Trust me, I've walked Jake before. Well, he walked me.
My FIL has made Jake VERY obedient from the time he was a puppy. He gives him simple one word commands and the dog does EXACTLY what he says! It's quite fascinating to watch! Listens better than my kids!
I hate what people have done to this breed. It is a sad shame what people do to animals for self gratification!
On a different note, several weeks ago when my FIL came over and visited, he brought Jake. I will admit I was a little nervous for Bella at first. After a brief introduction he was fine and they were running buddies all day! She actually was barking at him a few times though.
