@1987bugsy seriously? I am a licensed veterinary technician and spend about 45 hours a week with dogs at their best and worst, I have only ONCE had to muzzle/call in extra restraint for a pit bull and he was owned by a piece of trash kid who was proud he was mean. Every other of the hundred or so pit bull patients I have encountered have been nothing but pleasant. Wish I could say the same for the numerous other breeds we have had to muzzle or sedate just to touch. But what do I know

@dirtyfrank81 obviously you need to go to a common sense class to learn that pittbulls and rottweilers and all of those so-called dangerous dogs are actually the sweetest dogs in the world if you really care about them and take care of them.

I'm a pitbull lover :) Chocolate you were on this earth for 7.2 yrs and you made an impact on our life and you changed the perspective of many around us towards your breed including me! I love you and I miss you soooo much I know you're still protecting us where ever you are my warrior just like my mom called you! RIP. Chocolate 11-11-04 - 1-1-12

Before I had my pit and educated my self I was also ignorant and pointed my finger and accused them just like many some relatives currently own a Boston terrier chihuahuas also owned before a collie and a cute mutt but there is no comparison.

In my opinion a pitbull owner needs to be smart constant have patience and show lots and lots of love. The ones who do are greatly rewarded by their pet companion we experience a relationship filled with love trust and loyalty like no other breed can offer!

Omg to TheFara1979 what kind of person or owner might you and your acquaintances be to have a dog you can't turn your back on. I love pitbulls and my baby Chocolate recently passed away so I know something for a fact sadly pitbulls loyalty towards there owner in some cases works in to their disadvantage.

@KMunk7 No, Bully breeds (like Pit breeds) were bred to hold down large game, work on farms, and to be family dogs. Not every single Pit Bulls blood line go back to fighting dogs. There are also many other dogs who are used to fight, but no one likes to talk about them. :/

And there are past fighting dogs that now live in loving homes with children and pets, like most of the Vick dogs. Vick's prized fighter turned out to be the most dog social and is now a therapy dog. Dogs are individuals.

@RoscoTheRat ok,still bred to fight...

[SapphireDiamond19]

No. Your wrong.

@TheFara1979 Honestly, I doubt that very much you have met only aggressive pits. Most people who have an opinion like yours have only met one dog (or one that looks like a pit) that wasn't friendly, and that dog was poorly taken care of. Unlike you I ACTUALLY work with Pit Bulls, and like I said I never had an issue. Unless you surround yourself around dog abusing assholes, I doubt you have met so many "dangerous" Pit Bulls. They weren't ever bred for human aggression, even fighting dogs.

@RoscoTheRat I have been around dogs my whole life.I always had at least1 dog. Everyone in my family has at least 1 dog,as do all my friends,girls I have dated, room mates etc.I have been around 100's of dogs and dozens of Pits.Almost every pit I have been around has shown some signs of aggression.Some more extreme than others.I lived with 3 for a year and you couldn't turn your back on them.Couple that with what I have read and people I know expieriences is why I have my opinion

@TheFara1979 -c- Bernards aren't bred to do anything ivovling animals, their mountain dogs/farm dogs. Pits were actually bred for farm work, family life, and holding (not killing) large game for slaughter that's where Bully breeds come from). Then they have a tendency for being one of the most devoted dog types, which PEOPLE took advantage of. Many other breeds (rotties being 1) are used as fighting dogs, but no 1 talks about the other breeds. I said, what qualifies u to say these dogs are mean?
