• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 8/21/2007 1:56:25 PM Great post, Christina.  And yes, I already figured out that a pit is NOT the best choice for me. []  I just don't have the personality and/or temperment to properly manage a guard dog with a high prey drive.   Joyce 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Laurelin_429 Posted : 8/21/2007 2:01:12 PM Good post!  Very well done.   And yes, pit bulls are not the best breed for me, but I love to look at other people's pictures! *hinthint*     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• badrap Posted : 8/21/2007 2:03:58 PM Agreed, great post, and a fun thing to see when I log on for my once weekly visit...     I would challenge us all to come up with who SHOULD own pit bulls... my number one on the list would be:  someone committed to educating the public about the benefits of the breed. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lorib Posted : 8/21/2007 2:35:12 PM The ONLY thing I take exception with it the "flames down the sides of the car".  I love custom paint jobs! I despise fake testicles, coffee can mufflers, etc. I am the perfect owner for a bull breed (since I have owned them since 1982, I think I am doing well!). I am responsible (some say HYPER responsible), have a thick skin, am willing to go to bat for the breed and, even though Gypsy is intact, she will never, ever be bred and NO, no "accidents" will occur. Nearly everyone I know should NOT have one of these dogs, for a variety of reasons. I have several fellow bully friends who are like me: committed, willing to confront injustice and able to be responsible for their dogs to the Nth degree. My other dog-owning friends should stay with their respective favorite breeds. Their dogs are perfect for them! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• gradyupmybutt Posted : 8/21/2007 3:39:24 PM Beautiful post!  I'll be the first one to admit that a Bully is not for me.  I admire the breed & their dedicated owners but the Terrier group in itself is not for me.  Yes, I do have a dog with a high prey drive.  That does not scare me @ all.  I just know that I am not a strong leader & they, in my opinion, need one. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Edie Posted : 8/21/2007 9:57:15 PM If i had a dog that couldnt be let off lead on walks everyday,then i couldnt/wouldnt own it.So just on that one point,that counts me out [8D] Although i do own a bull breed(bullmastiffs),they are nothing like pit bulls. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 8/22/2007 7:49:36 AM Reason #3 counts me right out (prey drive and reactivity). Another reason I wouldn't want a Pit Bull is their strength and high pain tolerance. For me it translates into- Oww! It hurts when you wag your tail against my leg!
