~::Saving Our Pit Bulls::~'s Interests
General
Characteristics of the APBT.....No doubt about it-a healthy happy APBT cuts a handsome figure. With his sleek, shiney coat, intelligent eyes, and well developed musculature, he is easily one of the best looking breeds around, and nothing scores higher on the cuteness scale than an exuberant APBT puppy!
It is difficult to reconcile the enthusiastic, intelligent roughneck that is todays APBT with the fearless fighter his ancestors were cultivated to be. This breed would much rather spend their life as a lap dog-albeit a large one-who views the world as his personal playground.
Thanks to ONGOING education about the breeds true characteristics, in time, his unsavory heritage may no longer precede him. After all, the bull dog was once bred to fight, but no one would consider the breed inherently vicious today.
To promote a more appropriate public image, we need to examine just what the APBT is made of, inside and out!
The banner below is to take you to the "Stop Animal Cruelty" page ran by Lisa Hobbs, from "Team Mila and Breaking the Silence for SBS." By clicking on this banner, you will learn more about what you can do to help animals such as the ones that my page is dedicated to and many many more....There are many informative links and places listed on Lisa's page that will certainly help you help these innocent animals, of all breeds! Please go to the Animal Cruelty page after visiting my page...there is stillso much more to learn.....
Pit Bulls, yes, they also deserve the best chance at life with a family who loves them.

"Give a dog a bad name and hang him. The virtues of a dog are his own;his vices,those of his master."---Old English Proverb.
Perhaps no breed of dog has ever been given as bad a name as the American Pit Bull Terrior (APBT). The mere mention of the ambiguous term "Pit Bull" conjures images of a vicious and aggressive canine monster with a taste for small children. Likewise, "Pit Bull" owners are automatically tagged as promoters of the cruel and illegal practice of dog fighting.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Infact, the APBT was once one of the most respected and beloved breeds in the United States. Ignorance and hype have fostered its negative reputation, putting the breed in real danger of extinction. Through education and awareness, though, the public can be shown the virtues of this much-maligned dog breed.
To paraphrase Winston Churchhill, "The Pit Bull is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Never has there been a more misunderstood type of dog. Its oldest friends and most famous breeders want to fight it viciously in a pit and its rescuers often end up euthanizing it, perhaps to save the Pit Bull from itself.
Lets get a couple of things straight from the very beginning with two basic truths about Pit Bulls.
1)The pit bull does not have to be trained to fight. Aggressiveness toward other dogs is, to one degree or another, an inbred characteristic in most pit bulls.
2)While this aggressive nature toward other dogs varies from pit bull to pit bull, it cannot be corrected by training. Any book or individual that does not adknowledge these two immutable truths about the pit bull is incorrect and shows very little understanding of this very special kind of dog!
Throughout their long and storied exsistence pit bulls have shown themselves, except around other animals, to be among the very best of canine companions.
Modern bad breeding notwithstanding, the properly bred, properly socialized, and properly trained pit bull is a dog the stuff of which family legends are made.
LOYAL, COURAGEOUS, STRONG AND LOVING of its human family, the pit bull has, in the hands of the right owner, the capacity to be the very best dog anyone could ever hope to own...
To hear more from this amazing book and author, you can purchase the book " Training your pit bull" by Joe Stahlkuppe, at most pet stores or book stores.
We need to ban together to keep our precious dogs with us...noone should have the right to take our dogs, our precious, loving, caring dogs from us...when OUR dogs have done NOTHING wrong!
