Pit Bulls...America's most hated dog

I've have pits off and on my entire life. I've also had two labs, dachshund, basset hound, golden retriever, staffie, boxer, and a chihuhua.

Who's had a pit and what do you think?

Who likes/doesn't like them and why?

What are your perceptions of the character of the breed?

I know A LOT about dog breeds. I have some connections with professional breeders and trainers alike. I'm interested in what people think.

These dogs are not for the pits.

no offense but all your humor is severly outdated.

I prefer to think of it as VINTAGE!

And Pits make Ok Dog, just as long as thier stupid owners remember these are Powerful dogs.

oh man. this corniness is too much bro.

Do you need a scarecrow?

The stigma pitbulls have is very unfair and sad. All the pitbulls I've ever met were sweet loving dogs no more aggressive than any other. It just comes down to training and the home they come from.

Most of the time, don't blame the dog, blame the owner.

True'er word have never been spoken....and by a Mod No Less!?

now we have bsl where neighbors snitch people out for having pit bull looking dogs. it's sad. pit bulls are victims or inner city ghetto breeding

They are victims. The stigma pushes many of them into a vicious cycle where families do not want them, so they have trouble finding good homes, and so they end up being taken by assholes running dog fighting rings.

Put a pitbull in a good home early on and he'll be as kind and sweet as any other dog.

exactly. like my boys. as I described earlier I've had lots of breeds. i'm a dog person. pits are very good family dogs if given the proper home. I don't crop their ears or dock their tails. I keep them natural. just awesome dogs all around. so are labs. I've had the most problems with boxers...they are great dogs but the energy is too much

Rusty and Biscuit. Rusty is the 100lb+orange pit and biscuit is the 70lb+ tri color

those are my boys but the smartest dog I ever had was Bear, the 105 lb yellow lab. labs are just too easy. pits are good but they are very jealous sometimes and they are hard headed

Yep. Had a few Lab in the day. Fun dog. Almost picked up a Rescue Mutt at a garage sale on sat-day but someone else got to him first.
