[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]

I agree. Honestly I would be fine with blanket restrictions for all dog owners like this. Let's require obedience training for all dogs. I would also like to see a restriction that all dogs over x pounds must wear a muzzle in public spaces, which I'm sure would get lots of push back. But a separate issue is that law abiding dog owners will comply, while the terrible kind of dog owner who is keeping 6 pit bulls in cages will not bother. [/quote]
