In the local newspaper the shelter has ads stating “terriers for adoption”. I’m thinking maybe a cute little rat terrier or a jack Russell. However, when you look at the selection they’re pit bulls!
“Pitbulls are terriers. Terriers are extremely possessive, territorial and dominant. These characteristics do not go well with young children in the house. “
True.
Pitbulls are terriers. Terriers are extremely possessive, territorial and dominant. These characteristics do not go well with young children in the house.

I haave also observed their high strung temperament makes them extremely excitable. I watched a young child once skipping, running, shouting, and having a great time playing in the presence of a male pitfall and the pit had all he could do to restrain himself. He was literally shaking with nervous energy. It scared the hell out of me because he appeared to be like a ticking time bomb about to explode.
