I wouldn’t own a Pit Bull. Labs are best in my opinion.
Agreed on labs and I will/would add in goldies for a GREAT 2 dog combo for those that want 2, (or more!), of these wonderful friends.
Last time I went to the local animal shelter, it seemed that about half the dogs there were pit bulls, some of which were definitely scarred up from fighting.
I told one of the attendants I wouldn't own one. He, of course, gave the standard line about it's all in how you raise them.
I would not own one, period, I told him. I don't like the breed. I also think they're just plain UGLY.
Really?
These took me less than 30 seconds to find.
