have pit bull types that I keep not as pets.
Some of the pit bull pet owners are not listening to the facts and are living in fantasy land. Your constant harping on about "it's all the way you bring a dog up" is starting to hurt the breed in a bad way. Your constant denial of dog genetics having a heavy influence on behavior is becoming dangerous. I have owned over 20 pit bulls for around 20 years. I have worked them. I know what I am talking about and am sick of the garbage some pit bull pet "housewife" pet owners spew. It is leading to resentment from the non pit bull owning community. Truth is the best policy.
Most of the public (give them more credit they are not completely stupid!) is aware that "pit bulls" do not attack anymore than other dogs, but are saying that they create more damage and when the attack happens and it is more prolonged AND DETERMINED than with other dogs. The problem for the pit bull is happening because of all the idiot housewife pet owners that are subscribing to the "it's all the way you raise them theory".
Pit bull dawgs were used for fighting other animals including WAIT FOR IT !!!!!! Bears and HUMANS. YES BEARS AND HUMANS.
Yes pit bull dawgs were also used for human baiting with success.
As for American pit bull well Diane Jessup the so called "house wife expert" and Ceasar Millan claim that "pit bulls" are less aggressive to humans because the human aggressive ones were not tolerated by dog fighters in the pit; for fear that they would turn on their master in the pit. Ha ha ha what a load of baloney. Most of the most famous AMERICAN pure pit bull terriers are descended from VERY human aggressive dogs that were well know for attacking their owners and even jumping the pit and attacking spectators. There you go Diane Jessup and Richard Stratton the( gurus of the pit bull house wives) talking baloney (or maybe telling lies) by saying the pit bull was de-selected for man aggression. That is complete garbage and most of you sucking it up.
Pit bulls have no place in a pet home. Leave pit bulls for people that use them for hunting and live in the mountains etc. They have no place in the surburban communities of the USA, if you like them then move house and live deep in the countryside like I do. Keep them away from little kids, just like you would if you were keeping and raising a wolf. If you take them for a walk in the public park GET A MUZZLE YES DON'T SELFISH PEOPLE.
The safety of humans and other people's pets is MORE IMPORTANT than you being able to keep this FIGHTING AND BAITING breed in you
