I don't buy the hype or hysteria pushed by the MSM or individuals with anecdotal evidence. The article even quoted one of the people as saying that the dog was a fighting dog with scars all over its face. These dogs were also running loose.

I'm actually planning on getting an American Pit Bull Terrier fairly soon. I like the way that they look as well as their breed characteristics.

Flame away.

So what do you "buy"...the testimony of the guy trying to sell you one?

No flames from me. That is an adorable looking puppy :)

I have some advice for you. Check the breeder out thoroughly, before getting a puppy. I turned someone in for selling inbred pits, and no one did a thing about it.

Such a puppy!

I hope you don’t live in a neighborhood like mine. I live in a close-knit residential neighborhood where people walk in the evenings and all the kids play with one another outside. One house in my neighborhood has pitbulls in their yard.
That house is avoided by everyone in the neighborhood. The kids are not allowed to even walk down that cal-de-sac. Everyone talks about that house and the fear of those dogs. We have a nice, quiet neighborhood where people leave their doors unlocked. But I, like everyone else, have a 9mm handy, just for those dogs.
It just creates tension and uneasiness for the neighbors around you. Maybe you have no neighbors, I don’t know. I am just telling you how they impact my neighborhood.

Checked your homeowner's insurance? Mine won't cover mutilations by pit bulls, an exclusion which keeps my premiums down.

More power to you. And if your dog never menaces me or mine, I won't shoot him.
