Are pit bulls not allowed in your area? Maybe that is why he was hesitant to take it to the vet, I think that in my area if animal control takes in any dog that they even think might be a pit, they just put it to sleep right away. It was very brave to approach that dog, I''m pretty scared of pits. I took my little 7 pound mutt to PetSmart a few weeks ago and some lady came in with two pits on leashes. She could barely restrain these dogs as they barked and growled at my little puppy, licking their lips like she was a treat. Three employees came running out to keep those dogs away. I picked my dog up and she was so scared that she pooped on me.
Pits are a very misunderstood breed. They''re powerful, so they can be trained to be fighters, but in the hands of a responsible owner they can be the sweetest, most loving dogs. We currently have a pit mix and I''ve never had a more affectionate, eager to please dog in my life.
That woman with out of control pits should be ashamed of herself. It''s people like her that give the breed a bad name.
Agreed. It''s usually the owner that doesn''t know how to handle the bred. People just think "oh I love how this dog looks" and think nothing of their inherited traits. Are they a working dog, a lap dog, a guard dog? It''s just aggravating how little research put into finding a dog that fits in with their family.
My coworker has three pittbulls... mom, dad and baby. They are so sweet and playful. It just takes the right kind of owner.
