pit bulls
Okay I need to get this off my chest. Pit Bulls in general are not a born to fight breed. I am soooo tired of people automatically freaking out when they hear 'pit bull'. We tell someone we have a Staffordshire Terrier and they are like "oh cool, okay"... but you call them a pit bull and oh my gosh. Have you ever watched animal planet and how so many people treat these animals? Automatically think they should be mean because of their breed. Just pisses me off beyond words on what these animals go through.
I personally have two PIT BULLS, and they are the kindest gentlest dogs I have ever owned. Even though they were both abused.
Timber... our first adopted pit, was beaten and abandoned. She was very malnourished and has seizures from the abuse. But this dog is so full of personality, friendly, loving, literally afraid of flies. She actually will run from them lol :) It is horrid what she was put through before the Humane Society found her. A few days of love in our home and she just blossomed. And has the most amazing dances to show her different moods. How could anyone with a soul ever have hurt this animal?
Our second one, Khera, we adopted six months ago. She is 3 and a half now. Our son just fell in love with her while up walking dogs at the Humane Society. So she is now a part of the family. Can't imagine life without her. Sweetest puppy dogs eyes, just wants love, love, and more love. She was taken from her owner for abuse. She was sent here from another state to live with this guy, since that state has banned pit bulls in general. (whole nother issue I have) So this guy's son sent him here so he wouldn't be put down. Well she was pregnant, he left her outside with minimal shelter and did the bare minimum to care for her. She had them puppies alone outside. When they were about 6 weeks old he was spotted dragging them down the road tied behind his bicycle. Said he was trying to train them to run. Whatever :( So on a better note... the Humane Society got the puppies and mother. She does have some issues.. can tell she was not used to being indoors. But potty trained in days, learned what furniture was not permitted and such. Very anxious to please. Just wants attention and love. Still afraid of the rain, will not go outdoors even if its barely sprinkling out, to go the bathroom. But we understand and love her none the less.
So before you judge the dog by the breed, please realize any breed can be aggressive, and any breed can be gentle. It all depends on the individual dog and their individual situations.
