Thank you
Eh I am not really trying to break any stereotype, but inform people that they arent a dog for everyone. They arent a dog that will ALWAYS get along with other dogs, that shouldnt go to dog parks, or that can be left alone with small prey like animals.
The problem I have is people dont seem to understand that Dog Aggression and a High Prey Drive DONT mean the dog will ever go after people. Some people see a dog wanting to go after a Poodle or eat their beloved cat and think "Oh [darn], gotta get rid of it now! Its gonna turn on people!" Which is completely false, its like me saying "Oh [darn], that snake ate a mouse! Its gonna turn and attack people now!" A little stupid lol
As with all my Game Dog/APBT friends and owners, Human Aggression in ANY form is something very very bad and completely looked down on, these dogs should NEVER have any kind of aggression towards a human and if any dog shows ANY signs of it, it is to be put down immediately.
The problem started when people were breeding back yard mutts that werent even close to a real Pit Bull and they get loose and bite someone, then the media says "Oop short hair and blocky head, yep MUST be a Pit Bull!" when it was really a Boxer, or Lab mutt lol or people breeding APBTs for the wrong reasons, such as guard dogs or protection animals, incuraging traits in an otherwise completely people friendly breed.
Now yea, Dog Aggression and a super High Prey drive is what SHOULD be in this breed, I mean they are Terriers for Christ sake
Makes me sad when people get them and label them "dangerous" for being themselves and true to the breed standard.
Funny thing really, most people wouldnt know a real APBT if it walked up to them.
Okay /ramble lol a little passionate about the dogs and dont know when to hush
