Pitbull

The term pit bull is a generic term used to describe dogs with similar physical characteristics. Usually a "pit bull" is considered one of several breeds including the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Bull Terrier or any mix thereof. In some parts of the world, the American Bulldog and Dogo Argentino are also classified as a "Pit Bull-type" dog, despite major genetic differences. Any dog that is mixed with a "bully breed" may also be called a "pit bull" including those that are descended from the English Bulldog, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier and Cane Corso.^[2] The pit bull is not a distinct breed which may make it difficult for experts to identify,^[3][4][5] and while mixed breed dogs are often labelled a "pit bull" if they have certain physical characteristics such as a square shaped head or bulky body type,^[2] visual identification of mixed breed dogs is not recommended by the scholarly community.^[3]

   Thats a bit of what Wikipedia says about Pitbulls. Now you people see more or less of what are Pitbulls. And what gets me on my nerves is that every one actually believes that "Blah, blah, blah, Pitbulls are dangerous because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.". Some people believe that the Pitbull's skull is smaller than their brain. That was also thought about the Dobermans but it was already proved wrong. There are other people that believe that Pitbulls are dangerous for no reason at all! maybe one of their friends have told them, or sometimes they even read it in a magazine (dont believe in everything you read). The thing is: That's not true! Everyone thinks that Pitbulls are dangerous because people TRAIN them to be dangerous! And then one day a Pitbull bites someone and they say: "oh, Pitbulls are dangerous!"! Oh, stop it!! THE PITBULL'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOME WORM-HEAD TRAINED HIM TO BE DANGEROUS!! and then they kill the Pitbull because he atacked someone and the most that the person who trained the dog has to do is pay some money and it's all right! IF YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THE DOG THEN SEND THE PERSON TO JAIL TO!!

The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) has a strong pleasure to please. The APBT has evoked more human emotional, rational and irrational response than any other breed that exists today. By no means are these dogs people-haters or people-eaters. Their natural aggressive tendencies are toward other dogs and animals, not people. However if they are properly socialized with a firm, but calm, confident,consistent pack leader, they will not even be aggressive with them. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet that is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. Highly protective of his owners and the owner's property, it will fight an enemy to the death. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. The American Pit Bull Terrier can be willful with meek owners and needs a firm hand. They are generally okay with other pets if they are raised with them from puppyhood. They are very friendly, but not recommended for most people, because most people do not understand how to properly raise and treat a dog. Problems arise when one does not understand natural dog behavior, seeing the dog as having human emotions, and ends up with a dog who thinks he is the boss of the house. For a smaller, not as powerful dog, people can sometimes get away with this, however, for a powerful breed, one really needs to understand and follow this concept of keeping a dog. An excellent guide to learning how to properly treat a dog is the Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan (recommended to all dog owners regardless of the breed they own). Excellent with children in the family, they have a high pain tolerance and will happily put up with rough child play. As with any breed, they should not be left alone with unfamiliar children

Dog Breeds

There are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, (ok, I think thats enough) dog breeds. I'm sure I still dont know even half of them. There are Pugs, Chiwawas (which, sorry Chiwawa lovers, I think are one of the most annoying breeds in the world), Pinchers (which, sorry Pincher lovers, are as annoying as Chiwawas or more), German Shepherds, Collies (there are many tipes of Collies, like Border Collies and Co.), Greyhounds (L-O-V-E Greyhounds, they're beautiful and there are many types of them, to. Actualy, I think that there are many types of almost or every dog breed in the world), Beagles, Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Dobermans, Pitt Bulls, etc. And thats just a teeeeeny tiny part of all the dog breeds. Just for you people to have an idea of how many tipes of dogs there are in one breed:

   

And that's just one breed (Greyhound, for those who havent seen the BIG thing writen on top of the color chart that says: American Greyhound Track Operators Oficial Color Chart) !!

Introduction to Dogs

     
       Hey, people! I'm writing this blog for people who like dogs (like me) to know more about dog breeds and wich tipes of doggies (''doggies'' is just a cute name for dogs. To me, doggies include big dogs to) they would like to have for a pet. I know that there are gazilions of blogs about this theme, but what can I do if thats what I like to write about?
       Look, I'm gonna warn you guys (and girls) now that the blog is still starting, that I'm a bit air-headed, so some times I might forget to write more things in the blog, but I'm gonna try to post new stuff every day, so please dont get mad at me if I dont, okay?

                                  Introduction to Dogs

   Dogs are real amazing creatures, because though every one says that they're not rational, there are some times that they actualy seem to understand us (like when your dog is woofing desperatly at nothing and you look mad at him and scream ''SHUSH!!'', he actually shushes for a couple of seconds before he starts woofing again).
   If you want to adopt a dog (I'm against buying doggies, because I think it's unethical and though you cant treat dogs as if they were human beings, it's wrong to sell them as if they were objects, but that's only my opinion, so if you wanna buy a dog, feel free to do as you wish), first you've got to decide wich breed you want him to be (though I dont know if there is any possibility of adopting a dog with a pedigree. But there's no problem in adopting a pooch. Actually, all my dogs are pooches). You also have to know if you want a male or a female. The average female is normally more docile, but since dogs are much diferent one from another, it's better to talk to the person who is donating them. And if you are adopting a pooch (wich I recomend, since pooches are normally more resistant than pedigreed dogs) or if you simply dont want your pet to have puppies, you've got to castrate your doggie.


                          Why You Should Never Pull Your Dog's Tail

   I know that probably everyone you know has already told you never to pull a dog's tail, but I find it very important for you to know why. It's not because the dog will get ''mad''. If you pull a dog's tail, you might dislocate it (the tail, not the dog) and the poor thing will never be able to move it again. So think twice (or more) before pulling your pet's (or any other living being that has a tail's) tail.
