honestly dyslexic, I think Pitts had a bad rap long before Vick, IMO.
Yes. they did. Thats why I said he was "icing on the cake"
If it wasnt for his high exposure, the Pitts would still have that shit rep-- the fact of the matter is this: after all of his B.S., people started taking a closer look and realized; it's not the dog (or the breed) it's their fucking P.O.S owners.
Look into Pitt or Terrier history. They were FAMILY dogs, not fighting dogs.
The problem is this: If you kick three puppies in the head and mistreat them from birth, they are going to be mean mother-effers.
If those three dogs happen to be a 1) Doberman 2) German Shepard and 3) a Pitt Bull Terrier, well, the Pitt Bull will be the best suited for strength and fighting. This behaviour is NOT inherent in their character traits, it's taught to them by asshole owners. The Pitts just are better learners with more genetic muscle and bite.
Pitt Bulls are not "randomly" mean dogs.
I'm stepping down and putting away the mic... My Pitts are pussies. It's because all they know is love. Sound gay? Perfect for this forum then.
