My parents have two English bull terriers back in NC...I love those dogs, they make the funniest faces //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not to mention they think they're humans...I think the female has finally come to terms that she's a dog, but the male isn't giving up hope anytime soon.

he looks cool. just TRAIN HIM RIGHT. no need for pitts to be feared and regarded as savage child eaters

Too late. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif Whats sad is its always the owners fault.

pits just take a little more time to train and a watchful eye cause they are not the smartest dogs and that's not true about them not being family dogs cause i had mine since my son was 3 months old and never even close to an incident that would make me worry in the least and it's been 3 years i don't like the idea of a second hand pit though you never know where it came from (parents) or what has been done to it cute dog though

It only takes ONE incidient. There is a reason that pits are NOT classified as DOMESTICATED.

because pitts are up there is the most tame dogs......you just dont hear about the other "cute dogs" there was a thread stating facts, i believe that was the number. its NOT an aggressive dog unless you TRAIN it to be an aggressive dog. To its unadvantage they are stocky dogs with a great build muscular wise....what does this do? gets them attnetion of being little hard ***** and dumb****s train em to fight. its not the dog, its the people.

My family recently adopted a pit-bull its about 10-14 months. A month after he had recovered from starvation his agressive tendancies became appearent. We came to the conclusion that his old owner was an white male, for he becomes extremely defensive whenever a white male approaches; on the same note, he is extremly nice to women, and 'non-white' males. We are currently in the process of un-training his agressive tendancies. This pit-bull is extremely intelligent, he responds to commands quite well, but he is really agressive. When ever he gets remotly excited he begins to bite. It isn't a hard bite at all, he has yet to pierce my skin, he also loves to Jump on people. I wont be able to stop him from doing this because the rest of my family enables it and think's its adorable... but once this m-fer gets a little bit bigger... people will be falling over. This pitbull is extremly fast, and agile, playful, and intelligent. If you're smart and patient.. a pitbull is a perfect dog. I love the challenge of changing the personality of agressive pit bulls. For the other 6-7 other dogs I've re-trained and put in good homes. My dog.. derby.. has proven to be the biggest challenge, but hes workable.

Gl and Treat'em right.

you paper a pit it is a staffordshire terrier lol pits are a "relitively" new breed that have traceable (easily) bloodlines from other breeds. their short coming is that they are a terrier with size that can hurt/kill people

my dog (eskimo spitz named angel) doesnt like anyone with anything other than white skin. his other owner abused the hell out of her, and we have come to believe it was a dark complexioned family. i dont know whether they were black/indian/asian or what, but it ONLY goes nuts when darker people are around.

yup but if you paper a pit bull thats what they recignize them as we registered and sold probably 50+ pups over a 8 yr period lol had an accident though when the schnoozer got ahold of the pit in heat lol ended up miniature bull schitzels lol they were funny as puppies totally mutty as adults lol. i would also say id rrather have a pit bull pissed off at me than a rhodisian ridgeback i know when u look at the rhodey you would say "why?" they are just really weird they arent affraid of you anyway and their hair stands up like a razor back pig lol when the pit bulls went into the woods and got a racoon you could tell the coons got them good when the rhodey did it he wouldnt have a scratch on him. when they played and what ever the other dogs were scared of him and he was at least 10-20 lbs lighter lol was funny
