Responsible pit bull owners will normally be the ones OBEYING all of the leash laws, while others will let little fluffy run off leash and tell everybody how friendly he is while he barks and bites the ankles of the next bicyclist that rides by.

Unfortunately, so many pitbull owners are anything but responsible...it's a breed that's attractive to people with an IQ lower than their shoe size...

Exactly!!!

It's not the animals fault!! They have little chance to do right when they aren't trained. loved, corrected for improper behavior or even given proper living quarters.

The good folks that love and own the breed responsibly, should not be penalized, nor should the animal get an automatic "dangerous breed" sticker based on it's skin, fur, head shape or whatever.

The price of a free country is having to allow everybody equality. That means dumb dumbs can own pit bulls, snakes and other stuff.

We can't babysit them all. It's just too bad the animals pay the price.

The worst part about it is that 95% of the dumb dumbs do not even have TRUE pit bulls, but rather mutts and bullies that look like American Pit Bulls....

Speaking of bullies, has anyone seen some of the freaky stuff being produced as 'Exotic American Bullies'

Some of the most deformed and structurally unsound animals I have ever seen. The worst part is that the breeders and buyers like the look and justify breeding these dogs. Most of these dogs can't walk 10 feet without overheating and don't live past 3 yrs old and some breeders say its good because it keeps their puppies in demand.

Just ridiculous.

Oh dear god, I just looked up that sorry excuse for a kennel. I am absolutely appalled. These people are not doing it for the love of the breed, they are running it into the ground! And their page is unprofessional at best. If you can't make a proper webpage, which is going to be a person's first impression of you, how are we to know how you treat your dogs. I am just disgusted, people like this should not be breeding. For the most part, I believe that unless your dog comes from well-documented and is physically and mentally sound, you should not be breeding. Normally I favor AKC-registered kennels, but I know that some of them are just as guilty as these clowns, and that working lines are better for some breeds. These poor things come from neither and probably couldn't run for more than five minutes without passing out! These poor animals have been dealt a poor quality of life because someone thought that exaggerated looks on them-despite them being detrimental to the animals life, would bring them a lot of money. The cheapest puppies on there are $2500+ when I could adopt a more physically sound pit mix from a shelter. There are tons of them in shelters! Money is the only reason why people make a living off of breeding unsound animals when those same animals(I mainly mean this on a breed-per-breed basis)are clogging up shelters. My boyfriend's sister has a pit mix she adopted from the shelter and Tequila(the dog) is the sweetest dog you'll meet, she is neither people nor dog aggressive! More people should take that route, or support reputable breeders if they want a pit. Not these disgusting people.

My brother had a pure pit breed and it was an awesome dog. It loved kids, adults, other dogs, the only caveat was it hated cats. It would kill literally everyone that jumped the fence. Aside from that it was extremely obedient, extremely loyal, and protective over any of the family. Even the family dogs lol. It did however get along with two cats very well, but they were my brother's and the dog even viewed them like part of the family.

Made me want a pit pretty bad after seeing what a great dog they can be.

It's not even just one kennel.
All the creepy little bully mutts are labeled as "exotic bullies".

And its.... ugh. Just so many deformed dogs with rears higher than their head, bowed legs, overly wide shoulders, horrible structure overall. Horrible breeding.

I've seen these exaggerated dogs before, but had to take a look again. Really makes me sick. I don't even know how those dogs move at all, let alone for 10 feet. Those poor girls probably all need c-sections too, like English bulldogs. No way I would ever consider paying thousands for something like that. Give me a dog from the shelter first. If I spend that kind of cash, its going to be for an animal that is sound and functional.
