Considering this always a rallying cry for BREED BANS....here's some information on the 'dreaded' Pit Bull Terrier...and why breed bans won't work.

1. If you think banning the breed will work, take this quiz...try and SPOT the AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER in these photos..ONLY one of the dogs listed is an actual APBT. If you can't spot it, who can?



Cheers

This is excellent!

I have owned American Pitbull Terriers for years now and it even took me till my second guess untill i got it.  If you pay close enough attention there is negative news regarding pitbulls almost every day.  The sad part is that 90% of the time the dogs are NOT American Pitbull Terriers.  People really need to do research before they judge.

Pitbull is just a general term for the American Staffordshire Terrior, American Pitbull Terrior, and the Staffordshire Terrior.

Pit Bulls definitely get bad reps. I owe a wonderfully sweet and loyal 9 month old female American Pit Bull Terrier. Kaia is the best dog I have ever owed. If you research the temperment studies on breeds, bully breeds rank very highly.

 Another good websites to check out is www.badrap.org and

I agree. I have met many well behaved and very sweet pit bulls.  They are adorable too!  I think the key is to have an owner that is willing to work with the dog daily and give him plenty of exercise and love.

What i know is that my dog was attacked by a pure bred Am Staf at a dog show.  Both dogs were on a leash and the attack was unprovoked.  It only lasted a moment but an artery was nicked and my dog almost died.  I know that there are probaby a few out there that are nice but because of my experience i will never be convinced that those dogs are safe.
