The Truth about Pit Bulls

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 4:00pm
Happy Pit Bull

“Pit Bull.” There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say “Pit Bull.” Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it’s no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.

How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.

Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.

Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.

Sorry to be responding to this article so late for I've been so backed up. And my area (the Rockaways), has been dealing with Hurricane Snady. Yes, the mere mention of the name Pit Bull raises of a lot of negetive reactions. Although I own two cats, I grew up with dogs. And your article was right. I've always known that it's the owners (who are mostly men) who sadly mistreat these animals because turning them into vicious and deadly creatures gives them a false sense pf macho and bravado. It makes them feel "cool" around the ladies while falsely boosting their egos. Animals (especially dogs and cats), are only as mean or as freindly as their owners make them.

We ended up rescuing a pit bull. I'm pretty sure she's a mix because she's not very large - but I've heard that even pure pits can be her size. She isn't very cute - but she is a real love bug! She is overly protective of me and of my grandchildren - but I find that a good trait. She's 50 lbs of pure muscle and is a playful handful - but she would never hurt her 'family' for any reason. I also have four cats and she loves to try to play with them. The younger one joins in with her - the older ones just slap her away. Her addition to our family was unplanned - but I'm very glad it occurred. If you look at antique pictures of the US - you will see pit bulls in a lot of the photos. They seem to be the breed of choice at one time in this country.

I have a American Staffordshire Terrier/pitbull. She is the most loyal , playfull, lovable dog. She has save me many times. I have seizures and many health problems, and when i stop breathing, blood pressure is high, or about to get a siezure she either make sure i sit or get a hold of my husband one way or another. My 9 yrs old son plays with her all the time. She protects us all the time. She loves to play outside in the sand, but most of all she loves laying outside and sunbathing. I wont trade her for the world.
