Yes I have a Pit bull

2 comments

I love all my critters, my chins are so fun to watch, my corgi is my little guard dog, but I feel like my pit bull is my cause for social and political action. She's the first one I've had, and she's such a loving dog, a big puppy, really. She follows me everywhere I go, will tear off running down the beach but stop on a dime and charge back toward me when I call her. She wants to meet and love and play with everyone and everything.

and yet...people are so afraid of her. I've heard time and time again, even from the animal lovers on this site, that the breed is bad, their instincts are to kill, and they should all be eradicated. Having her as a member of my family prevents me from living in certain counties, if I were offered a job in Miami I would either have to turn it down or live outside Dade county because they don't permit pit bulls. I have one thing to say to these people, meet her, or a dog like her, bred by a responsible breeder, raised as a member of a loving family, and trained to have good doggie manners. Foxy has better manners than many of my friends' more socially acceptable dog breeds. Judging all pit bulls by the cases in the news is a form of racial profiling, think about it.

every single pitbull i have ever meet has been some of the smartest, sweetest dogs have ever come in comtact with. those people who think that pits are mean and not family dogs must only be exposed to the dogs that have been mistreated. pits remember, they never forget being hurt. thus being some of the smartest. they are also appreciative of being resuced. you should love your pit

Pit Bulls are such wonderful dogs. My mother has a pit/lab mix and I've never met a sweeter dog. Luckily, where my mother lives, there is a state law that prevents entire breeds of dogs from being banned. Just know that every time you take your dog out, you are providing a wonderful example of what the breed is and hopefully changing minds and stereotypes.
