Pitbull Love

How many of you think that pitbulls are vicious and only good for fighting/being guard dogs? I hope none of you. I have 3 pitbull of my own at home and let me tell you they are nothing but sweet, caring dogs. Nothing like what the media has made you believe!

For over a hundred years the pit bull was known as the nanny dog. For many many generations if you had children and wanted to keep them safe from harm, You got a pitbull as a babysitter! Here are some facts that make pitbulls not the killers everyone thinks they are....

• In temperance tests (the equivalent of how many times your kid can poke your dog in the eye before it bites him) of all breeds the most tolerant was the Golden Retriever. The second most tolerant was the pit bull
• they are not naturally human aggressive (in fact pit bull puppies prefer human company to their mother’s two weeks before all other dogs)
• they feel as much pain as any other breed
• Below are some videos of how gentle they can be!

• This one is my all time fav! A pit who was a rescue and has never seen a baby and is highly unpredictable because he was a stray and the new owners know nothing of his past, Shows his true colors of what the breed is all about, LOVE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_y0L2K1YgU

It sickens me to know that roughly 6,000 pitbulls are put down everyday! Its not the breed that has turned vicious it's the owners! I have a god daughter that has been around my pitbulls since she was a new born and not once was I scared to leave her alone with my pits. Im still not even though now she is at the age of annoyance (haha 2 years old) to a dog where she pokes, pinches, and pulls and yet my youngest pit will just lay there and take it no matter what. He will not leave her side, everytime she spends the night since she was born he has slept right next to her crib.

So I ask of you please don't get a pitbull if all you want is a guard dog or something that looks vicious. Get one because you want an amazing family dog that will guard your home and children out of love!
