[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love dogs! But don't get the appeal of pitbulls. They're not cute or in any way more attractive than other popular breeds. Why would you WANT a pitbull mix? I thought people just adopted them because the shelters are full of them. [/quote]True, we adopted ours because that's what the shelter had.  And then we discovered that she was a loving, affectionate dog.  And that's what matters to us, not being cute or attractive.  Just a big heart and a cuddler.[/quote]

We adopted a pit 6 months ago and he is so sweet and cuddly it is funny. I am a believer that dog breeds have natures, live a retriever likes to retrieve,  a pitt bull was breed for fighting bulls.  What type of character that has left in the modern breed I am not sure, but of course I wonder why this breed is one with so many toddler face attacks ( retrievers also high on this list).

Anyway, training is always a good idea. [/quote]

Perhaps it should be required for Pitt owners given the concerns? Hell, golden retrievers too?[/quote]\

There are some cities, sorry I cannot recall which, where Pit Bulls were banned, then Retrivers or Labs took the place top of the list for dog attacks on toddlers. All dogs have this in them, I am a rescue pitt bull owner and love this dog but I am wondering why the bite rates are so high. Partly because the data collection and reporting is very skewed, yes, but I do of course wonder what is going on, is it the pitt bull it self or the pitt bull owners?[/quote]

PP here. My intuition (for the two shekels it’s worth) :lol: suggests it is a combination of both.[/quote]
