This is something I would never ever never never ever do with any pit bull dog, not even one I believed I knew well. Frankly this isn’t a wise thing to do with most dogs, unless you really really really really know the dog’s temperament over a very long time. That said I do it will my border collie mix who I recently learned is part APBT, but even though she’s incredibly sweet tempered and mostly led by her border collie genes, I recognize this is a risky behavior.

It troubles me to see a photo like this attached to a story about rehabilitation of rescued previously abused pit bull fighting dogs. This pose is high risk in general (anyone know enough about canine behavior and[b] body language to articulate why?[/b]) and it’s alarming to see it normalized with a pit bull of sketchy origin/background. Yikes.[/quote]

The dog's body language doesn't look aggressive to me[/quote]
