[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is impossible to find a shelter dog that is not a pit bull mix. You have to go with breed specific rescues who raid puppy mills. Even then, a lot of the dogs are not pure breeds or the mix that the shelter tells you that it is.[/quote]

What's wrong with having some American pit bull terrier in them?  They are adorable, faithful and loveable[/quote]

Everything is wrong with them, especially since she mentioned hood with children as her top priority, which rulles out[b] all [/b]pit bulls or pit bull mixes.[/quote]

Careful!  Your bias is showing!  There are lots of dogs with pit who are great with children.  I know I am not going to convince you but, I am here to stand up for dogs that can't defend themselves.[/quote]

I think the point is that families with children don’t want to take a risk that their pit mix will be one of the good ones. That’s fair [/quote]

They should be careful because children are the most likely to be bitten by ALL dogs.  They yell and scream and move in random ways.  Adults don't teach children to respect dogs and not get in their faces.[/quote]

Plus, not all dog owners teach dogs proper manners around children as well. Being calm and respectful around children is something that dogs should be trained for. There is nothing worse than 60+lb dog running like crazy if it's too excited knocking off everything and everyone on their way. They might get mouthy too - [b]I was recently "playfully bitten" by 90lb golden retriever [/b]who simply was to happy for whatever reason, he jumped on me,put paws on my shoulders and grabbed my upper arm with his teeth. Not fun, even for 5'8/180 lb me. Imagine what would happen with small kid.[/quote]

90 lbs? That’s not a golden! [/quote]
Well, tell it to his owners 🤣
I didn't see his pedigree but I know golden when I see one (hi might be from loosing a bit overweight, but it none of my business [/quote]
