Take some time and read up on the history of the bully breeds in the US (the days of Boone & Crockett)

Their frontier history makes for interesting reading is ...they were THE dog of the frontier
without them we would have had difficult if not impossible time settling America

They were pioneers first defense against bears, wolves, big cats and Indians bent on ravaging the farm and the women and children..

Not to mention that the rugged cattle back then were capable of taking on bears, wolves and big cats...and it was the bully breeds that were able to take down bulls that went rogue...

Amazing animals...that saved many early Americans lives and property back in those days...

They have to be socialized at an early age...and worked with daily...you cannot chain them up and leave them alone day after day...they need to be with their people..if they are they are and can be great dogs...

And great representatives of early Americana...imo

When dogs attack kids...they must be put down...end of story...

Wow, what an interesting factoid! Never heard of that before - do you mean specifically pit bulls? or any kind of 'bully' dogs? Will definately check that out; like I said, never heard that before. Thanks - do you have any favorite links about this?
