Pit Bulls and their bad rap

[Redneck_Crow]

Some of the nicest dogs I've ever met have been pits. Also a couple of the nastiest.

I think that pits tend to suffer not only from owners who encourage them to be aggressive but from owners who are too afraid of their own dogs to correct them and keep them in line. You get the same result as you see with small dogs whose owners think that they're too cute to correct when they snap and growl...only with a pit you've got a dog that is physically capable of being more than a heel biting annoyance.

It takes a committed thoughtful owner to raise a pit correctly. Raising a pit is kinda like having a retic--many people have proven that it can be done responsibly, and when it's not done responsibly the animals and the decent responsible owners bear the brunt of jackass irresponsible owner's screw ups.
