I admire your attitude. Do you really want dogs bred to fight in a pit licking girls hands?
The breed is brave, loyal and loving. It gets a bad rap due mostly to bad owners who neglect and abuse PBTs and usually urge on their aggression. It is little wonder to me that most dog attacks take place in lower socio-economic neighborhoods and trailer parks where the dogs are allowed to roam, become almost feral and fight. Here is another story about a heroic "pitbull" saving its master yesterday: click here
PIT’s are our breed of choice too. This morning I was walking my dog and my grand-dog (both BIG Pits, we are dog-sitting) and all the neighbors came out to see and pet them (we don’t have many pets on our street, no when one is out they get attention).
They are excellent dogs, and treated right, make excellent pets.
I'm more concerned about what the dog is trained to do rather than what someone somewhere did with some other dog.
“Do you really want dogs bred to fight in a pit licking girls hands?”
Do you really want dogs bred to kill game licking girl’s hands? Do you really want dogs bred to track/hold at bay game licking girl’s hands? I mean, these are true dogs of death, with bloody muzzles and a gleam in their eye as they hunt and kill fellow creatures, with nary a thought for the pain and suffering they cause. Was that hyperbolic enough?
Guess you don’t like most terrier or hound breeds...or any type of working dog, for that matter. Say, exactly which type of purse dog do you approve of, anyway? And who shall control the list?
What works best about your logic is it is the same as the gun banners. Do you really want an assault weapon created for the purpose of killing in homes with children?
PBT’s have an owner problem, like Lorcin and Raven pistols have an owner problem. Ban bad/irresponsible behavior, not dogs or guns.
