A lot of "mixed" dogs are labeled as pits as well due to ignorance.
It is a shame that Pit bulls have image problems and that they are even blamed for things done by other breeds. At least their are people like us who will try to tell people the honest truth about the breed. The negative image of the breed is formed out of ignorance, and it is fueled by evil criminals who use the breed's good attributes of loyalty and turn them into ferocity to make money, or for some sick enjoyment. No breed of dog is a bad dog breed. Pit bulls are a great dog breed. All the major problems on the planet are caused by people. Too many people in this country want to blame animals for the depravity of people. These are the same people who want to blame inanimate objects such as TV, guns, books, the internet, rock music for the fact that people are depraved. They wanted to blame rock music because some evil, psychotic people with irresponsible parents murdered their classmates in Colorado. Everyone wants to defer responsibilty from the people we should be blaming. I'm more worried about what people are doing to society, than what one breed of dog is doing. Some people really are clueless.
