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
