    Smiley The I love Pit Bulls Thread :D

    I have been cuddling in my bed with Leila, my American Pit Bull Terrier all day!! We also went to the grocery store together, and later got Arbys. She's my bestest pal and I heart her!!

    I have been reading so much lately about Breed Specific Legeslations and it makes me so sad. For those of you who don't know about this, many cities (Including Denver) do not allow pit bulls to be in their comunities. If a pit bull is found in your home it will be taken and killed . This is soooo messed up!! Judge the deed, not the breed !! And honestly, it is the dog equivalent of racism.


    In some levels I understand why people are afraid of pits..... media propeganda, just like how everybody thinks strippers are big dirty whores . First of all, it is very common any time there is a short haired dog that attacks somebody, it is called a "pit bull" even if it isn't. Second of all, Pit Bulls have an AKC temperment score of 86.7 percent....golden retrievers, 83 %, most dogs less than 70 %. (Perfect temper would be 100 %)

    But, the media makes these dogs to be vicous, when really they are not. Any dog can bite if provoked or abused. People abuse these dogs because they are "bad-assed" and will "scare away people" etc. (fuck off Micheal Vick)

    I was afraid of pit bulls before I got one because of the media hype..... once I met my friends dog, now Leila's boyfriend, I knew that it was crap. He is 130 lbs of love (technically a Staffoshdshire terrier, or an english pit bull terrier.)

    I ask you to please go out and meet somebody with a pit bull if you can, otherwise, please look at my baby and also at some of the links I have provided. If you are allready a pit bull lover please post your own pics or stories about your doggie. Your mind will likely change....

    My mother just adopted a pit bull from the shelter right before new years. He is the biggest baby! So sweet and good natured. She also has 10 cats and the dog gets along fine with them. He tries to bring them his toys to play with him, lol.

    I think the breed specific sh*t is stupid. I've dealt with way meaner cocker spaniels and dalmatians than i have pitts. It's all about the owner in my mind...raise a dog well and he'll be good, raise him like crap, and you get crap.

    Introduction
    Sixty years ago a delightful gang of kids romped across movie screens accompanied in their antics by their faithful dog Petey, a sturdy white pooch with a colored patch over one eye. Petey performed a remarkable array of tricks to help the kids in and out of scrapes -- all in all, he was the consummate childrens' pet.

    The original Petey was Lucenay's Peter, a purebred dog registered as an American Pit Bull Terrier with the United Kennel Club and as one of the 50 original Staffordshire Terriers accepted into the American Kennel Club. Whichever breed name is claimed for Petey, one thing is certain; today this dog could not be kept within many city limits without facing arrest and euthanasia. American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are outlaws by city ordinance as vicious dogs.

    The American Pit Bull Terrier has a long history as a dog of the common man, and it is from his basic stock that the AKC's AmStaffs and Staffs developed.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    History
    In 1835 the British Parliament outlawed bull baiting, a sadistic gambling game in which bulldogs were used to attack and harass bulls brought to market with the dubious intention of tenderizing the meat. The dog would assault the bull, avoid the stomping hooves and slashing horns, grab a tender nose or ear, and hang on until the bull collapsed. Commoners and royalty alike sought diversion from the violence and diseases of their day by attending these bloody spectacles until a public outcry forced Parliament to take a stand.

    Once bull baiting was banned, dog breeders who appreciated the fierceness, courage, and tenacity of the bull dogs turned their attentions to breeding dogs for dog fighting. They began with the bull dog, mixed in some terrier blood, and produced the Bull and Terrier, a dog that met all of their expectations. The Bull and Terrier was bred for aggression to other dogs, unrelenting bravery, a high pain threshold, a willingness to fight to the end, and an affection for people.

    Bull and Terrier dogs came to the US in the early 1800s as all-around farm dogs and frontier guardians. Samuel Clemons featured a pup of this breed in his short book The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.

    The United Kennel Club recognized the Bull and Terrier Dog as the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898. Buster Brown shoes put its mascot in every shoe with the image of Tige, an American Pit Bull Terrier, to enhance its image as a sturdy, dependable shoe. RCA used Nipper, a pit bull of unknown ancestry, to illustrate the clarity of sound emanating from its phonograph -- after all, it could fool the loyal pit bull into thinking he heard "his master's voice" in person. The breed was used to illustrate American neutrality without fear in 1914, the toughness of Levi jeans, and as a"defender of Old Glory."

    The AKC eschewed breeds called "pit bulls" until 1936, when it recognized the American Pit Bull Terrier under the alias Staffordshire Terrier, named after the miners of Staffordshire, England, who had a hand in developing the breed for the fighting pit. The name was changed in 1972 to the American Staffordshire Terrier to distinguish the breed from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England, the ancestor of the American dogs, which was recognized by AKC in 1974. The British version of the dog is 14-16 inches tall and weighs up to 45 pounds. The American cousin is 18-19 inches tall and weighs up to 80 pounds. UKC's American Pit Bull Terrier is preferred to range from 30-60 pounds with females generally, but not necessarily, smaller than males.

    Staffs, AmStaffs, and APBTs produced by responsible breeders are bred for temperament. Many dogs of these breeds are therapy dogs; some do quite well in obedience, and one -- Bandog Dread HIC, VB, SchH 1, CD -- even has a herding title. Another, Solomon J. Grundy, is a service dog for quadriplegic owner Arvid Kuhnle of Saskatoon, Canada, and Bullitt, was shown on the 1985 Easter Seals poster with his owner, Gordy Ranberg of Genesee, Michigan.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So what happened?
    The American Pit Bull Terrier and its AKC cousins had a well- deserved reputation as a loyal and trustworthy family pet in the early years of this century, but of late has been severely castigated as a vicious, man-killing beast, worthy of banishment from the cities, considered guilty with no chance of proving innocence in any case.

    "Pit bull" is a generic and derogatory term that encompasses any of several breeds of dogs or crosses on those breeds. Pit Bull fanciers can be divided into several camps: conscientious breeders of the AKC-registered duo who often deny kinship of their dogs with the APBT; ethical breeders of the APBT who face squarely the slander heaped upon them by ignorant neighbors; and unethical breeders of all three breeds who still indulge in dog fighting or promote aggressive temperaments for illegal purposes. Dog fighting rings still exist--it's only been a few years since a ring with national ties was busted in New Richmond and Blanchester, Ohio--and inner city drug dealers often use the dogs to guard their drug supplies and cash.

    To further complicate matters, those who still breed for fighting are not as careful to preserve the dog's strong instinct to bond with humans as the early breeders did. So, today "pit bull" is a pejorative term that strikes fear in the hearts of many and leads to the spreading of urban legends about dogs with locking jaws that exert 20 thousand pounds of pressure, unstable breed temperament, and overwhelming human aggression.

    In fact, the well-bred American Pit Bull Terrier is a family guardian and protector; an intelligent and obedient pet; a sweet, even-tempered dog that serves well as a help-mate to handicapped owner and friend to small children; and a healthy, hardy dog that complains little and offers much to his family.

    Unfortunately, it has been more important for legislators in many jurisdictions to prove to constituents that they have "done something" about community problems. Spurred on by media accounts of "pit bull" attacks described in lurid detail, these councils and commissioners have banned pit bulls in all their forms from their communities. Never mind that the owners are the ones at fault for harboring a vicious dog; never mind that few of these dogs actually bite people; never mind that the breed and its crosses are not always easy to identify. Just ban them.

    So, many shelters do not offer pit bulls or any dog that might be part pit bull to be adopted. Insurance companies cancel house insurance if a pit bull is in residence. Neighbors mistake everything from Boxers to Pugs as "pit bulls". And those criminals who used pit bulls as protectors of their illegal activities switch to Akitas or Rottweilers.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The standard
    The United Kennel Club standard for the American Pit Bull Terrier is rather sparse. The dog is square and powerful with a blocky head, prominent cheeks and jaw, and taut, muscular body. He has a deep chest, and a short, glossy coat of any color. His ears may be cropped or not. Size can range from 30- 50 pounds for females and 35-60 pounds for males. Although they are from the same stock and meet the same criteria as the AKC American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terriers cannot be registered as an AmStaffs, but AmStaffs are admitted to the APBT registry.

    My brother has a pit, my boyfriend has several. They are wonderful dogs. The BF's pit holds me and offers to let me nurse on her when I'm in a bad mood, she is very sensitive to feelings. Its odd, but she is mothering that way. I get so angry that I shake when I hear about what people have done to them.

    I adore pitties! I had one that was the biggest mushball. You would have to peel her off of you when she started smothering you with kisses!

    It annoys me when people are terrified of or condemn a breed because of media hype BS. Pits are amazing loving affectionate dogs when people dont fuck with their heads. I used to watch people in the hospital waiting room edge as far away from a calmly resting pit as they could...then go right up and stick their hands in the face of a chihuahua or mini poodle..which are FAR more likely to bite then any "dangerous" breed(pits, dobermans, german shepherds, etc..etc...). In fact..for many many years the most dog bites per year was by cocker spaniels. The "family friendly" dog.

    Theres a REASON the so called dangerous breeds are the most often used as police dogs and such....they are easily trainable and extremely loyal..doing whatever it takes to make their humans happy. Even if that includes being aggressive. They arent like that naturally.

    The only real "dangerous" breed...is humans.

    Pits are so trainable and very friendly; people don't really understand the process of breeding and training that went into training fighting dogs. They weren't really trained, much less bred, to be indiscriminately violent.

    The video made me think about my moms pitt. One night he was fussing a lot at a window he never fusses at and kept going back to my mom and then the window trying to get her attention. the window looked over the back yard. she thought he needed to go out, so she took him downstairs, but he didnt need to go out, he didnt even step foot outside...one of the cats had wandered out when hehad been let out earlier, and had gotten locked outside. the cat wqs an indoor only cat, had even been born i the house...he was scared to death. apparently he had been meowing, but only the dog heard him. the dog licked him all over as soon as the cat got in the house.

    Animals are so smart

    that video did make me cry a little though.

    I love pit bulls, and ALL other breeds. I also agree that breed prejudice is a bunch of bullshit. Dogs are what you train them to be. Granted, some breeds are more relaxed, and some breeds can be more tempermental, but that doesn't mean a damn thing with proper training. You should see my moms chow chow, the lap dog.

    We had a pitbull named Phoebe that wandered into our yard with barbed wire embedded completely in her neck, and she was the sweetest animal I've ever come across. And whenever I would cry (I get very emotional over certain films lol) she would jump into my lap and press her face against mine and just stay still like that. So precious!! She had the biggest golden eyes and a lot of times she would just sit at your feet and stare at you.

    I love pitbulls, we have only one now and they are such a sweet, human-like breed lol. Wonderful with children. They are my favorite breed by far.

    a pit probably saved my life!

    when i was about 16 or 17, i was walking home from school. my neighbor (and family friend) directly across the street from us had a big ol pit named Dude. lol

    he was the BEST dog! just a big ball of love.

    anywho's, as i was walking down my street, another nieghbor 2 houses down left his fence open (he was there but did nothing), his labrador and i think a german shepard were barking at me, as usual, so i just walked on the other side of the street, not realizing the fence was open. as i passed their house, and fully past the fence line, the 2 dogs came running out at me. both of them jumped on my back, i knew not to run, one got the back of my coat and the other my backpack, i'm freaking out, but still trying to be calm (this all happened in a matter of seconds). next thing i know, dude pushes through his screen door, bolts towards us and jumps on both of the dogs and starts attacking them! the dogs ran back to their house, dude come walking over to me, wagging his tail, panting with his tongue out with a look on his face like "did i do good?? huh?? huh?? did i?? did i??" he sniffed me over to make sure i was ok and gave me big puppy kisses! i hugged that dog forever!

    needless to say, my dad went apeshit on the guy down the street, 1. for having his fence open and 2. for not doing a damn thing! they let him know that if dude had to attack again, that was on him, not dude.

    i loved that dog!!!!

    What a terrific thread!

    I'm chilling on my sofa with my pit bull right now. He's a perfect dog. Extremely low maintenance with a really relaxed personality, almost too relaxed to the point where he's too lazy to want to even play. lol. I made him a spring pole so he could play tug o war with himself/ with little effort on my part, and hung it from the ceiling. It's a struggle to get him motivated, and when he starts tugging on the rope, which is a great workout for him, he gets tired easily and stops after a couple minutes. He's a big cutie!

    I've met amazing Pits and asshole Pits, but that's the same with any dog, right? The thing that bothers me is going to the shelter. The SPCA by my house is, no lie, at least 50% Pits at all times. Anyone who breeds Pits needs to stop. There are thousands being killed monthly around the country, and there is no reason at ALL to breed yours, no matter how cute you think it is. Hi, I'm Bob Barker, please help control the animal population and spay or neuter your pet.

    I've been "attacked" more by small dogs, the difference being I'm never worried a chihuahua is going to tear my throat out.
