Unfortunately, Pit bulls have a really bad rep because of what the JERK humans out there have trained them to do, like fighting. These Jerks ( I want to use another word but will keep it clean) get off on watching dogs fight and making money off it. When it all started they look around for the type of dog that would do best at such events. Sadly the Pit bull has all of the things they are looking for in size strength ect. They look at them and say, "that looks like a good fighting dog". they arent going to say look at a poodle and say" that looks like a good fighting dog. they are strong and powerful, and have the right look to. But there are alot of other dogs out there that are just as strong and just as powerful and if not properly trained could and are just as dangerous.
I work with a Pit bull rescue here in my city. In fact, I am presently fostering one of the rescues. he is the sweetest dog in the world and VERY VERY good with people, cats and my small dogs. He loves Athena ( my yorkie) to death and is extremely genital with her as he Recognizes the size difference and seems to understand he could easily hurt her if not careful. when he plays with other dogs, much bigger he will get much ruffer as they can handle it and do it back, but not with little Nina. when she comes near him he lays down and licks her and loves on her. He is the same way with my cats. and this is a dog that came from a home where he was being neglected and abused.
Yeah, such a furious dog
It is extremely heartbreaking what happen to that poor yorkie, but I blame the pit bulls OWNERS. |
I LOVE yorkies, but, I also LOVE pit bulls, I have many friends that have the sweetest pits ever. If I wanted my back yard to look like Fort Apache I would have one. Because I choose to live where I do,which is a heavily wooded area, and I love the beauty of the woods and the wild animals that come with it, I will NOT put up a 6 foot high wooden fence. For this reason I passed up the offer of getting a beautiful pit bull. It's the owners to blame not the dog or the breed and yes they need to be trained properly.
