Love and kisses. I volunteered for a pit bull rescue group and the only pits that were mean were the ones that were left alone in backyards chained to stakes. Pit Bulls get a bad rap.

All breeds, too. In 5 years I probably have been around thousands of dogs. Some things I've noticed: The breed that is either poison-mean or frozen with fear, no in between? Chihuahua The breed that picks the most fights with other dogs? Dachshund The breed that has tried to bite me the most? Cocker Spaniel The breeds that are generally nice, slobbery and goofy? Boxer Boston Terrier Beagle Poodle Shih-Tzu Rottweiler Pit Bull The breed of the handful of dogs that have actually made me fear for my safety? The one I absolutely *WILL NOT* approach, and only allow to approach me if they are acting very, VERY friendly? German Shepherd The breed of the most vicious dog I've ever seen at my job? Maltese (I've nicknamed him "Satan", he tries to attack any and every dog or person he sees, he's bitten at least 5 employees, 3 customers, started who knows how many fights and has been banned from the grooming salon.)

Those women had no control over those dogs. If either of those dogs "snapped", I get the feeling neither woman would have been able to do much about it. I dunno, JamesM.

When a pitbull snaps, it snaps and there is nothing you can do about it." Not a fan of people who hold tightly onto stereotypes and old wives tales about pitbulls "snapping", especially since this is a term used to refer to WILD breeds being kept as pets... such as wolves. Pitbulls do not "snap" any more than German Shepherds, Rotties, Chihuahuas, Jack Russells and any of your various ill treated dogs. That's the distinction. The Pitbull Terrier has been domesticated for a very long time. Their fault is not in their aggression, but in their exceptionally eager to please attitudes. This is why people say blame the owners, not the pits. Pits are the jocks of the dog world. Strong, exceptionally agile and full of stamina. But they're also the sweetest, most smothering lovedogs I've ever known. Please stop being ignorant and blanketing a whole breed with the horror stories you see on the media. Just as ignorant as relying on one person's bad incident on the road with a person of another race and fearing that you have to lock the door every time you see "one of them." “zavatone
