why is it always "pitbulls" ?

It's not the dog/breed , it's the owner/trainer . Pits , as with any dog , are how they are because of the way they are brought up .

Shepards ,dobies ,rotts ,even Labs have been known to be quite aggressive .

I own an american staffodshire , whose mother and father before him, and so and so on , for 11 generations , have been and are purple ribbon fighters/show dogs . So needless to say , he's got the killer in him .

I raised him to be the perfect companion .

I think that it's immoral to use dogs to fight ,

though my boy has killed before , it has only been when the aggresser prevokes him . He is good until he is called out .

All I'm trying to get at is "any dog can be trained to fight or kill "

Don't blame pits for standing out in the crowd .

I will just say they scare me. I have read of too many attacks by them.

Side: Yes, they should be outlawed

Well no matter what the color of the pit is it is still the same type and breed. Pit bulls are bred for being strong and effective hunters.

However any type of dog has the potential to be dangerous, it is almost always in the upbringing.

Side: No, they're just misunderstood

No Pit Bulls are not dangerous really most animals are not dangerous it just depends on how to raise it. I have two full blood pit bulls and they are very friendly because that is how I want them to be.

You have to understand a pit bull before you can own one. when you get one as a puppy, you have to be kind and very loving towards it. If your mean to it, it will attack you later on, but if your kind, it will protect you and your family.

no, I don't think so, as with any breed its the way you bring them up and treat them.

any dog can be viscous it just depends on the owners and the way they handle them

I am so tired of hearing/reading about people thinking pits are mean dogs..

Yes they were bred for hunting and fighting.

and yes they have more aggressive traits.

But that doesnt mean they are anymore dangerous than any other large dog..

I've had pit's, Labs, Chow's, Mastif's and alot of other large dogs and ALL of them have been loving pets and great protectors of my home.

ANY dog can be raised to be nice or mean.
