This is a really sore subject for me. I hate the ignorance hate people have regarding these lovely animals.
My parents have always had pits my whole life. Right now they have 2 Pit Bulls, a german shepard, a lab a pug and a mini pin.
They all get along wonderfully. Infact the male pit mac is the most gentle and loving of all the larger dogs when it comes to playing with the little ones. Lady, the mini pin, fully grown is smaller than my Yorkie right now (4months)
IMO the Pit knows he is bigger and needs to be gentle. Just like they are with babies. They are one of the smartest dogs I've encountered.
On the side I would like to say if you think people should stop breeding these animals and do away with the breed because you heard they were mean you are just being ignorant. Should we do away with all Rots? how about Mastiffs? or Chows? Akidas? Siberian Husky?
I have heard many stories or experienced seeing myself all of these breeds and others attacking children and sometimes killing people. Any dog can be mean. Pit Bulls are not the only ones that can be dangerous. Why do you want to punish the animal for problems that humans have.
We are all against puppy mills because they are wrong and cruel, but no one has said we should stop breeding Yorkies. Breeding Pitts for fighting is wrong, but we should try to stop that....not the breed itself. |
