[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The misinformation about pitties is astounding.  I don't own one and wouldn't because of the liability and the image.  I breed, raise, and train GSDs.

First, one of the reasons pit bull terriers get such a bad reputation is because they are often blamed in bites by other breeds. Take this test and be honest.

Second, unfortunately they are the dogs of choice for people that should probably never own a dog.  These are the kinds of people who neglect and abuse their pets creating dangerous dogs.

Third, bad breeding has led to aggressive behavior.  Purposely breeding for aggression creates dangerous dogs.  It could happen in any breed.

Finally, many other breeds are more dangerous yet receive little attention.  German Shepherds bite more often than pit bull terriers and most people love them.

Truth 
Any dog can become aggressive.  Pitties are no different.
Pit bull terriers, like any large breed, cause a lot of damage when they bite. 
"Pit Bulls" are often blamed in bites by other breeds.
There is nothing special about their jaws. They don't even have a particularly strong bite compared to other dogs their size.
The breed actually does really well on temperament tests.

Just as an aside - I am a Hospice Minister.  One of our therapy dogs is a pit bull terrier.[/quote]

I can't take anyone seriously who says "pitties". Are you three?[/quote]
