First of all, it's Dogs. Maybe in the countryside they don't teach spelling, but that is the correct way. I am not here to fight, or insult , as you may take the above statement, but I do not intent to insult you sir, I reply on behalf of Yogi and "of Wolf and Man" although I know neither of them, They have great points, as you have a few, Your whole "It's the way you raise them is bullshit lies" theory is extremely flawed and perversely wrong! When people go by that saying and believe in it, it is not indangering the breed even further. It is the way you raise them, and certain genetics do get passed on. NOT ALL! I don't care if you have been around Pit Bull's for 100 years. It is the same as two human, male and female, certain genetics are passed onto the offspring, some are not. It is the same with Pit Bull's. If a Pit Bull is raised in a slum, starving to death and fighting for food, while being beaten by man and mutilated to vicously fight, yes. They are going to be quite mean and protective of what they have, because that is all they know, "How to please" ... The Pit Bull is a very loving and caring dog, One of their key characteristics is to please. They are extremely loyal and are most definitely wonderful around children. I have two, one that is 6 months and the other that is four. And I have 3 Pit Bull's, a Presa Canario,A Doberman Pincher and a Rottweiler. And I have never had a single problem with any of them, and don't reply back with some stupid comment about "Oh, you have six dogs, 3 being APBT's, so you think you know." No Buddy, I do know ... not all, but a lot. I have been around Pit Bull's since I was a baby myself, that's 24 years. I have been researching and studying them since I was 10. My parent's owned a Pit Bull breeding farm where we had between 20-30 Pit Bull's when I was growing up. I have pictures of me sitting on top of and pulling the ears of a Pit Bull, that my mother rescued from a dog fighting ring, he had been there for three years, he was born there, and there is where he was starved, beaten daily, electrocuted and fought for three years. And my mother brought him home, nurtured him, loved him and eventually brought him around my siblings and I. She would tell me stories of how I would bite him, pull his ears, and do all other types of annoying things. He never once turned on me, or anyone for that matter. After a few months of training he was put in the enclosure with the other dogs, and he was eventually bred with one of our females, now I bet you'll think, "Oh well one case and your a genious on Pits?" No .. Like I said before I am not, But I do know quite a few things, Like for instance. The female, Greta, That we bred him with, BTW his name was Rocky, My mother being the gracious and loving women that she is, rescued Greta from a shelter when she was about 2 years old. She got the story on her as well. Greta was born into a ghetto home in Detroit, where she was raised to be a fighter, They didn't originally want to use her, on account of her being a female, but apperently under certain circumstances they had no choice. She was starved to the point of exaustion and then made to fight for a can of food. And this was a done on a short term basis. She was beat with bats and wrenches in the face and torso repeatedly, I remember the scar above her left eye. And we bred her with Rocky. Two dogs who were trained to be killers, bred to be lover's. I remember the litter, 6 gorgeous little babies, 4 male and 2 female. And you know what. They were fine, they wern't aggressive at all, not even a tad 1%. With in a few months they were all sold, except two, to loving families, whom my Mother kept their information and checked yearly on certain litter's, just to see what had become of them. Rocky and Greta's liter was one of them on account of them both being past fighting dogs. Sadly one was hit by a truck before his 1st birthday, but the remaining two males and female, well i'm sure you can guess. They were awesome.

Not one ever showed any sign of aggression. EVER! ... And as for the two that we kept. We bred them with two other past aggresive Pit's on the farm which developed two more healthy litter's whose grandparents were trained fights and rehabilitated to be lover's. And those two litter's were kept track of and once again not one of which showed any signs of aggresion. And even today that bloodline of Greta and Rocky still thrives. I proudly own one of their great great great great grandchildren. And he is an amazing animal. if it wern't for him my 6 month old son may not be alive. When Liam was born, he was about 4 weeks old, laying at night in his crib, and Murphy, My Pit, (From Rocky's blood) layed under his crib nightly, until one night Murphy woke me up barking hysterically, he led me to my sons room where lay choking and screaming. Thankfully Murphy was there to wake me up, otherwise I don't even want to think about what would have happened. So you see, It is not in their blood. I have proven that, as has my mother 100 times over. It IS the way you raise them. It's a shame you believe in those lies you tell yourself each night. YOU and people like YOU are the reason they are going to pass that Bullshit BSL law ... And then your pitbull's go bye bye as well, so I would change my fu*king attitude if I were you. Take a look past the ignorant morons that train these beautiful creatures to fight and kill, and look at the animal beneath that. Only wanting to be loved and to please. I have had a poodle attack one of my pits and me on a walk two years ago, as I've seen numerous golden retrievers attack people. My uncle had a labrador for 4 years named Ben, and when my cousin Scott was born, he was almost a year old, and Ben attacked him with jealousy, because my aunt and uncle payed all their attention to Scott, not because they chose to, he was a baby, they had to. and it's not like they stopped playing,walking and caring for Ben. He just snapped, and he almost killed my cousin. So as you see, a friggin Chihuahua could be a killer. So stop with your ignorance, learn the truth before you speak the lies! <3 <3 <3
