pitbulls

im sorry i might sound abit out of order here but a dog grows up how its been trained to. i do think it all goes on how you bring your dog up unless its in pain or ill then thats also a reason it could just turn for no apparent reason. im not saying there aren't bad dogs out there im just saying why always blame the dog and it's breed why not look in to how it was brought up.

I believe all pitbull owners should be responsible people, and must have their dogs registered. If their dogs attack anyone the owner must be held responsible, and the animal put down.

I have a Lab/Pit mix that grew up in a very abusive home. The owners were going to put him down but my niece talked me into at least meeting him cause she didn't want to see the dog destroyed just because the owners mistreated him alot. I went to meet him and after a lot of aggression on his part, he realized I'm not a bad person unlike his owners were and came to lick my chin. I brought him home that day and now he's the sweetest dog. Loves to jump in ppls' laps and wash their faces. lol My 8yr old daughter uses him as a pillow/back rest when she's watching TV. He's Lab on the outside but pure pit on the inside. Because of my love, patience, and putting him thru obedience classes, he went from a very dangerous dog to literally a baby who wants nothing more than to be cuddled. So you see, it's not the dog but the owners that make a dog mean or lovable. Ban one breed, might as well ban them all cause I'd sooner have a 'dangerous' breed than a yappy little ankle biter.

i personally dont like pitbulls. unless you own a junkyard i dont see why you need a fierce, overly aggresive dog. they dont even look cute.
