As I was reading this thread (took me almost an hours after I re-read almost everything here) I realized there is no point to prove about this breed. We all love our dogs and will fight to the end of the earth to stand up for them. I know I would for mine. I've cared for so many APBT that they really are no different then any other breed. All dogs have the same parts on the inside (unless altered

) they all speak the same language-bark, and they all want to be a human companion. So why fight over what breed was meant to do this and that. Trying to make since of it all and getting lost in the reasoning and thoughts tossed out was all to overwhelming.
The real issue here is educating the buyer on how to care for a dog. A person does not go out and buy a tiger without knowing what they are getting themselves into, for one thing that#%92s illegal. A team of experts get a grant to care for the tiger and work together to train, feed and care for the animal. Dogs are no different, any breed, the owner needs to know what is the proper way to handle a dog and how to feed it and give it what it needs, prepare for it financialy. I don't know everything about my dog and that is why I talk to other dog owners to find my answers so I can give my dog what she needs. There really should be stricter rules on owning a dog then what is already in place. Better screening on the pet shops part and of corse better breeding.
