The Truth About Pit Bulls

First off, I'd like to make something clear. Pit Bull is NOT a breed, rather it is used to describe many breeds of dog in the molosser family, such as Staffordshires, and what people commonly think of, American Pit Bull Terriers.

These dogs need to be socalized around other dogs and people. Please, continue to learn and edjucate others about this Pit Bulls and other breeds that get bad rap. End BSL! This video includes only SOME information of Pits. Please, do your homework before you get any type of dog!

I've actually wanted to do this for what I believe is a year... and I think this turned out really well (for me, atleast). It took 2 hours, though in those 2 hours I took frequent breaks and also Zero was sitting on my shoulder the whole time, either trying to eat my shirt, attack the computer mouse, or decide she would try to type...

VERY special thanks to Gillsmeadow, for allowing me to use videos of her Pit Bulls , aswell as some pictures! Check out her channel and sub:

UPDATE 12/21/10:
I got the news that Bella, the tan Pit Bull in the beginning picture died a few weeks ago at age 9. The exact reason is unknown. Rest in Peace, Bella... I miss you so damn much.

Yes I agree with you, but this does not means that you can leave your children alone with your dog. All dogs of this sort of size should NOT be trusted around young children. The pit bull is no exception it has a strong muscular body and was originally bred for catching wild pigs. They would bight down on it’s nose and never let go. Always remember that dogs are descended from wolves and should be treated with care. Too many children have been lost because of their parents stupid mistake.

@Lipzah I somewhat agree and get at what your saying-- but that's where having a strong bond, being responsible, and having TRUST comes in to play. Now, yes, if the dog was aggressive then the kids shouldn't be around it in the first place. My cousins grew up with 2 pit bulls and a German Shepard Pit mix that we trusted. Though they're rarely left alone in the first place, when we walk out of the room (aka make that "stupid mistake") we never came back to a dead kid on the floor.

Cool Music - tell the folks to leave the dogs ears and tails alone too.

Hi, good video, i like your concern for the breed, but when you say above "Pit Bull is NOT a breed, rather it is used to describe many breeds of dog in the molosser family" That's wrong, it definately is a breed, and it's NOT an american breed, it's the Dog bred by the English and taken to the USA by Irish immigrants generations ago, the breed intentionally bred by crossing bulldogs with terriers to produce a smaller, faster game & agile dog for fighting dog on dog in a pit, = Pitbull

they aren`t forced to fight, you won`t make a dog fight if it doesn`t want to.it is their wish.put other dogs into a ring they will jump out of the ring despite their owners` s will
