Bullydogs

Check out the links I put under "Blogs & Sites of Interest." I put some of my friends there whose blogs are especially interesting, and activist and Pagan websites, as well as Bad Rap because they save abandoned and abused pit bulls, a very misunderstood breed that are some of the best behaved and most beautiful dogs. Get a pit bull if you want a wonderful dog who will love everybody in your life. Pit bulls aren't always for people with other pets or little children and you should not buy from breeders. Adopt from a responsible adoption program that socializes their dogs extensively.

Why do pit bulls have such a bad rap? It is because they have been used as guard dogs. This probably evolved from their use in dogfights--they are built, tough and have serious teeth and jaws. So, people want pit bulls to guard, or to be a tough scary dog to show off to their friends. This leads to pit bulls being treated like monsters and left at the end of a chain to grow progressively more violent and aggressive. The problem with using pits as guard dogs? Pit bulls weren't bred for violence against humans. Dogfighting dogs need to have a strong bite inhibition against human handlers. Pit bulls don't bite people naturally, but their reputation as mean dogs led to bad treatment and bad breeding. Pits aren't naturally aggressive. They are super-happy, bouncy dogs that love to cuddle. They won't protect you, but their reputation might.
