MISUNDERSTANDING PITBULLS

DEPENDING ON THE BREEDING AND RAISING OF A PITBULL DEFINES IF IT CAN BE DANGEROUS. PITBULLS CAN BE THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD BREED OF DOG THERE IS. IF YOU GET A PIT BULL YOU NEED TO KNOW THE BREEDING HISTORY. THEY ARE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THERE FAMILY. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SOCIALIZE YOUR DOG WITH OTHER ANIMALS AND PEOPLE. SPAY OR NEUTER THE DOG WILL HELP MAKE IT CALMER AND AVOID UNNECESSARY BREEDING. AND YOU MUST TRAIN YOUR DOG!!!! DON'T HIT IT OR FIGHT IT. THIS IS HOW THEY GET A BAD RAP. ALL DOGS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BITE. WHENEVER A PITBULL BITES IT'S USUALLY PROVOKED IN SOME WAY AND GETS IMMEDIATE MEDIA ATTENTION. YOU DON'T HEAR THE MEDIA REPORTING WHEN A COCKER SPANIEL MAULS SOMEONE. THERE ARE DOGS THAT BITE IN EVERY BREED!!!! PITBULLS ARE EXTREMELY SMART AND LOVEABLE. I RESCUED ONE WHO IS NOW A BOMB SNIFFING DOG AT BIRMINGHAM, AL AIRPORT. ROSCOE IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST DOGS I EVER MET. ALL DOGS HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BEING VICIOUS. IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM MEAN BY MISTREATING THEM AND TRAINING THEM TO FIGHT. ANY DOG WILL BITE IF YOU TEASE THEM AND PROVOKE THEM, I DON'T CARE WHAT BREED THEY ARE. ALL ROSCOE WANTED WAS TO CRAWL UP IN YOUR LAP AND BE LOVED!!! AND PEOPLE MUST NEUTER AND SPAY THERE DOGS IT MAKES THEM LESS AGGRESSIVE, PLUS IT CUTS DOWN ON ALL THE UNWANTED PUPPIES IN THE WORLD.
