I am scared of pit bulls not only are they vicious but when they bite there jaws lock which other breeds there jaws don’t lock

people need to be more educated before saying something completely ignorant like that. i work at a kennel for almost 6 years, and trust me i came across the most fun loving pits that anyone would die for. so whoever decides to demonize pits, get your damn facts striaght!!!

I grew up as a kid with a female Border Collie and a male Pit Bull. Both of my “babies” were lap dogs and they never hurt me, my friends or any of my family members. Our Pit was a big, strong, lovable and devoted pet who protected my parents and me. Rebecca is giving Pit Bulls a bad name because of her uneducated views and I doubt that she has had any experience with the breed. I raised my Pit from the time he was 6 weeks old. Most domesticated dogs are very even tempered if their owner allows them to be. But you can train any breed of dog to be a menace, killer or biter! I don’t know of any breed of canine that has “jaws that lock” and I’ve had quite a few dogs throughout my life.

The first dog I ever had on my own was a lab/pit mix, Bear was his name. I went to the animal shelter to adopt a puppy, and found bear, who was 1 or 2 at the time. When he got older(15 or 16), we adopted a 7 week old full American Pit, Harley, who’s mother stopped feeding her pups at 5 weeks. Bear was what I call a great “daddy” dog, to both Harley and my daughter, turning them away from doing something they weren’t supposed to…like Harley teething on my end tables, or my daughter getting too close to an outlet. When I had to put bear down a year after we got Harley, because he lost the use of his back legs, Harley slept on Bear’s bed and wouldn’t eat for 3 days and would only get a small drink of water, which I had to place next to the bed, and go outside 2 times a day. They are absolutely WONDERFUL dogs and extremely loyal to their loved ones. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that this one mourned the loss of his loved one. I just really hope that they either find his owners (if they’re nice people) or find him a great home and a family that will give him as much love as they can! I always tell people, not EVERYONE should own a pit as they are bull headed in the early years, BUT no one should judge a breed that they know nothing about because they only see a few bad stories in the media.

I think pittbulls are wonderful caring animals, I have many friends who have them and they all have great personalities. I have to wonderful dogs of my own neither of which are pitty’s, I love the breed. BUT with that being said I don’t think I would ever have one of my own because off all the stigma that goes with them and the added responsibility with a pitty. I also don’t want to see them all destroyed. Maybe one day I will change my mind on having one of my own. Its just not a breed for me at this time. Hugs to all the caring poeple out there who love there pitty’s and maybe hopefully one day people will be educated enough to euthinize the owner not the dogs.

You know even pits have feelings. They are miss judged because of the way some of them are raised. You raise an animal with respect that animal will respect you and anyone that you know. I grew up with a pitt and she was the most wonderful dog.
You raise an animal to be brutal then they will be. You raise them to fight and kill that’s exactly what they will do. You look at any animal weather it be a pit , doberman, german shepard, any animal treat them good and they will treat you good. This proves that animals have feelings and can show love.

There are so many ignorant people. Animals have feelings as you can see. It is how the animals are raised, they can be raised with a gental hand and be treated with respect and you get the same back.
I was raised with a pitt and she was the most wonderful dog yes people looked at her like she was going to eat them. The only thing she did was look up snif and go about her own way. We had her until she turned 17 and in those17 years she never once attact a person or another animal. You miss trea the animal your going to get mistreatd back. Get the facts before you even judge specialy an inocent animal.

most of my dogs have been german sheperd and pit bull. a german sheperd is more likely to bite than any other dog statistically. it is a myth about locking jaws on pit bulls; people think that only because their mouth is bigger and wider than most dogs. my pit bulls were the most loving dogs i have ever owned. as much as i love sheperds, have to say; pit bulls by far are more intelligent and very loyal and intelligent. my pit bull actually put out a house fire and always warned me when i was in danger. so sad false rumors have made the breed hated by many. you will never find a more loving loyal dog than a pit bull that is trained properly. any breed or size of do can be viscous if they have an owner that is a viscous person. when my mom died her little s***zu was an awful dog and viscous. i retrained the dog to be loving. any animal that doesn’t act right has a messed up owner. also sometimes dogs are protecting themselves and get blamed and in trouble because they were protecting themselves from being abused by a really messed up human.
