More famous pits: Petey, the dog from the little rascals , the RCA Vitrola dog, Buster Browns dog. In films pits are often use, because they have that typical dog look to them. The American pit breeds were considered THE American FAMILY dog circa 1914..times have changed and over the last 40 years we've gone through a slew of so-called "killer" breeds from German shepards, dobermans, rottweilers, to the current so-called awful dog the pit breeds. Adding to the confusion, that quite a few breeds are classified as pits, so it is difficult to say that "which" one is the problematic animal.
I have two dogs, a min-dachs and an American Pitbull terrier....the dachs is the Alfa male.

I saw a show on TV about the GESTAPO animal police visiting people in England when their pit-bull laws went into effect - seizing and destroying family pets for no justificable reason other than that they "looked" like pit bulls.

This country is going the way of Sweden and England.
