Pitbulls.

It is hard to trust shelters who try to pass off obvious pitbulls or pitbull mixes as "mixes", "labs", "lab mixes" "terrier mix"

Avoiding a pitbull in the bloodline makes a breeder super appealing.

I used to be pro mutt back in the day, but with the number of rescued pitbulls appearing in my child filled, suburban neighborhood has made me very anti rescue.[/quote]

I suspect your antipathy towards mutts increased along with your income.  [/quote]

No.

It increases every time a child is mauled or killed by a gentle family pitbull nanny dog.[/quote]

This does happen, despite a skeptical PP.

In the last neighborhood I lived in, a family's pit bull got loose, bit several people and ran around loose. It couldn't be caught.  Police helicopters were called in to help track it and the dog was gunned down on the sidewalk.  Literally.  Three doors from my house.

This was at like 7 am  so the helicopters and megaphones warning me to stay in my house woke me up (I had no kids at the time, now that would be not so early).  I was terrified, especially because I was home alone at the time.   I thought there was a serial killer on the loose.

The people bitten were not seriously injured but I would never consider such a dog, not just because of such an experience, but yes, attacks happen.  And this event didn't make the news, so I'm guessing for every mauling that did there are tens or hundreds more cases like this one or perhaps even worse.

The sweet family pet pitbull that killed that 1 year old baby this past week in North Carolina was beaten, stabbed and shot and would not stop maiming that precious baby.

It let go after it was shot a 2nd time.[/quote]
