Pit bulls
Does anyone here have any pits? Im looking to get one but im not sure yet. Im scared that it will turn out a violent dog and try to eat everyone.
If you have one post a pic of them if you could and tell me your experience with them. Thanks!!! |

the way the grow up is the way u treat them...my uncles pit has been with him since i can remember, most gentle dog in the world...never barks...always playfull even though hes old...down my street, there a pit owner who cut the poor dogs ears and tail...obviously neglected since he smells like shit constantly, and straight up mean
its all on how u treat it man...honestly... dont fall into the bullshit stereotype that there naturally violent...there not...introduce it to love and care introcue it to kids and all that jazz while its still young and itll be used to it and comfortable and never bite... my nephew (2yrs old) has left the room with the pit and we find them both knocked out, my nephew using it as a pillow, its hilarity mang...

yea depends how much expore you give them to people. If you keep your dog chained up and away from contact with people they get crazy since they dont know how to act around them. Pretty much its similiar to how you would raise a kid i would say. Give them the right attention and have them be social and i think it'll be ok.

DALAZ_68 is right.. if you raise them to be viscous then they will be. i have a pit that i work out all the time.. he is HUGE, but he is a gentle giant.
this is DEEBO and he likes to play with my 13 pound Lhasa Apso. |

Mine
Dori a year and a half. Friendly towards humans and just wants to play. Its all about how you raise them. Can't be a afraid to let them know what's up. They'll respect you more that way. She's pretty much all muscle, not fatty like a lot of pits. When she was a pup. |

bro! I think you should not get a pit. Just by your inital statement it seems that you are not comfortable with the breed to begin with. A pure one is a very strong breed and has somewhat a "challenging temper" Always remember what brought up the breed.
If you feel that you might get intimidated by a 100+ lbs pit if it growls at you because he does not want to move from his sleeping spot or does not want to give up your shoes that he is chewing on. Please do not get one coz there is a chance that he might challenge you for the "Alpha" position. Good social skills are the key and responsible ownership is a must. Good luck meng. here: Pet Pitbull - Breed Info |

It's just a dog.
Any dog can be made vicious. I have a friend who's pit looks menacing, yet it's still like a big baby. Even when he play bites you it doesn't hurt. Don't let the media scare you out of them.

The biggest problem with pitts are, that they are inbreed! Search around before you buy a dog, and go atleast four generations back to get a good history!

Not all Pitbulls look mean either.
Some look down right retarded.

I love pit bulls.
Mine is super awesome with people. Still thinks he is a pup. I rescued him a few years ago and was very unruly when I got him. Did a few behavior modifications and he is doing well now. Right now we are slowly introducing my 2 y/o nephew to him so he plays more a little bit more gentler. Here he is: a pic when he was 8 months old, he is 5 now and a lot more cut. |

Ok, I just have to ask one question.
I'm not picking on anybody, I'm just curious. If everyone is so concerned with the negative stereotypes associated with Pitbulls, why do half the pits you see pictures of, have big ass chains wrapped around their necks, like the dogs are pulling down trees or something. I mean, seriously. Do you guys not realize that actions like that do nothing but perpetuate the stereotypes for these dogs given to them by the media. Now, I'm not saying you should run out and buy a pink collar with rhinestones on it to improve the dogs image, or anything. But if you really want to improve the image of the breed, stop "dressing them up" like the cover of a Rap CD.
