My 2 cents<---- irresponsible keepers and lack of knowledge by the general public pertaining to whatever animal Is in question is why particular animals get bad reputations. A hundred and thirty pound pit bull is possible but it really shouldn't be considered a pit bull anymore. Breeders call them "backyard bullies" and they are typically a product of poverty stricken urban culture. People from bad neighborhoods purchase these dogs and breed them for wider heads and chests and give them a on a dime protection type mentality. If they aren't being used for that someone is using them In dog fights were a vicarious mentality is sought after and therefore bred into future offspring. This is happening so often that many pits can have there lineage drawn back to either of these two examples. The true pit bull is a slender muscular working dog that was bred to be extremely powerful and loyal to its owner. It's a shame that the breed itself gets demonized for the faults of man. My deepest sympathies to the family of the girl who lost her life but I sincerely hope they do not use this as ammunition to chastise the pit bull breed.
