Pit Bulls and their bad rap

OK, how do I get a video to post embeded?? :(

i agree i think pits, can be really good dogs if around the right people and handled the right way, I my self have a rottie which has a bad rap like the pits, shes 6 months old and the best dog, amazing temperament, i brought her to an AKC show and she won in the puppy division best in breed :D
I am in training to become a dog trainer so i think any dog can be good as long as trained !:banana:

josh00498,

You say you are in training to become a dog trainer. Are you learning from someone or are you attending a school? Just curious. If you are going to a school which one?

couldnt agree more people are closed minded my last pit was a male blue nose (blue brindle) beautiful dog with amazing personality... my neighbors loved him and thought he was great and played perfectly with their small maltese then the wife asked " what kinda dog is he " i replied pit and she goes " oooooooooh " and grabbed her maltese they never played together again.. i was like he was playing fine no rough housing or n e thing.. WHATEVER.. now i have a brindle pit and she still wont allow the dog near her... he played with there maltese when he was a pup once that was it... fine by me, luckily i have a decent size yard to keep him occupied in

I look at pitbulls just like any other animal.


I keep ballpythons, not cobras.
I keep kenyan sand boas, not rattlesnakes.
I have a chihuahua, not a pitbull.


I don't care who you are, or who raised your dog. My rat dog can't inflict serious damage to me. A big, strong dog like a pit can.

thats true soterios ... ive also seen small dogs take chunks outta children though so it goes both way.... i am comfident with my pitbull to play around my 6month old son, he is the most gentle dog ive ever seen when around my son they are like best friends (thats not say i would leave them alone in the same room unsupervised) but i wouldnt with n e dog. wife had a lshasa apso that was miserable around my son when growl try to climb all over. so that dog is GONE! but my pit is amazing around kids, ill take him to petco and children will come play with him and i know i dont need to worry about him...

I hardly think that you seeing a small dog "take a chunk out of a child" levels the field here.

Like I said, my statement is all about lethal potential, nothing else.

oh ive seen articles where small dogs have done serious damage to kids... it does happen just doesnt get the media attention as a pitbull does.. im not saying a pom. is gonna KILL a kid... but there are attacks from small dogs ...

but i do see where u r coming from i wont argue with ur comments, cause i have some friends/family members with UNTRAINED pits that have attacked people or are very unruley and dominate towards otther animals and people... i feel that it has a lot to do with trainin u have to have a strong hand when training them and cant allow them to defy u or they will never listen...

and then u get the people like vick that train them to fight and a pitbull just wants to please its owner so if owner wants it to fight thats what its gonna wanna do... pits are not for everyone i know

but i personally love them
