That’s right folks. In-case you didn’t know, the all American, faithful pup, Petey, was an American Pit Bull. During the course of WW1 and though WW2, the Pit Bull was the family dog of choice, and for good reason. Pit Bulls score an 84.3% passing rate with the American Temperament Test Society. That’s better than the popular Border Collie (a breed who scores only 79.6%), and almost a dead tie with the Golden Retriever (a breed who scores a slightly lower 84.2%) There are possibly more misconceptions about the Pit Bull than any other breed of dog. I suppose that you could place some blame on the media, but if you ask me, the reason that these dogs are so frowned upon in today’s society, is because of irresponsible Pit Bull owners, i.e Michael Vick. I can’t deny that there are some very dangerous Pit Bulls out there, but again, it all comes back to the owner. The Pit Bull is a very owner influenced dog, and when you couple that with it’s determination and unparalleled strength, you have the potential recipe for one bad animal. However, if a Pit Bull is raised in a loving but disciplined home, there are very few breeds that would make a better pet. I have absolutely no reservations about letting Grayson play freely with our Pit Bull, Sadie. She is very protective of Grayson and seems to know that he requires a more gentle approach (it’s actually very amazing.) I’d like to see the day when I can tell someone what type of dog that we own, without getting the “evil eye” from them, followed by the inevitable question, “aren’t you worried that she’ll eat your baby?” Spread the word about this wonderful dog.
-Are Pit Bulls naturally aggressive towards humans?
While many Pit Bulls do tend to be aggressive towards other DOGS (as are most terriers), the normal, well raised Pit Bull has NO human-aggressive tendencies! In fact, human-aggression was actually bred out of the breed. The majority of Pit Bulls are affectionate, intelligent, trainable dogs. In fact, the highest obedience trial record of all time is held by an American Pit Bull Terrier named Maddy!
A man was driving to work one morning and was running very late. He was paying more attention to shaving his face than the other vehicles around him. Before too long the inevitable rear end collision occurred. The two vehicles pulled to the side of the road, the man exited his vehicle and was surprised to see that the other driver was a dwarf. The dwarf said “I’m not happy!” At which point the man said “Well, which one are you?” That’s when the fight started…… Well, Grayson thought it was funny.
Well, as if Xanga, Facebook, Myspace and various other “blogesque” accounts that Annie and I are trying maintain weren’t enough, we’re going to attempt to take on Tumblr as well. If all goes as planned, I think that we’re going to downsize to Facebook and Tumblr only, but we’ll see
