The pit bull is one of the most infamous dog breed in the world. No matter how tough you think you are, if you see a pit bull without a leash on the streets you will be petrified. And this pit bull could be the sweetest pup in the world, but that’s not going to change the facts that people are scared of pit bulls.
Pit bulls have the reputation of dangerous dogs that can take your life away or leave you with a permanent damage. Now, we can talk about dogs and pit bulls for days. There are plenty of positive stories and negative stories about this breed as well.
But at the end of the day, it’s all about how you raise your dog regardless of the breed. Chihuahuas can be nervous and aggressive too, but they just lack the power to do any serious damage and that’s why we don’t take them seriously.
Pit bulls, on the other hand, poses the power to do real damage and they will do real damage if they’re not raised properly.
It seems like pit bulls have locking jaws indeed, but that’s not the case. Because there’s no functional difference between the jaws of a pit bull and any other dog breed out there.

It’s a shame that these dogs are banned in many places around the world, just because few owners were not responsible. But dogs don’t have the same rights as humans, at least not yet. Which means the productive solution is to simply ban the breed and that’s it. But in reality, if you work with your pit and socialize it at early age, there’s not going to be any signs of aggression at all.

Snapping is not a nature of any dog breed in general, and the same goes for the pit bull. People are adopting pit bulls that were previously used in dogfights, and there were no reports of snapping for no reason. But if you give them a reason, a pit bull just like any dog will snap at you.

When pit bulls are properly socialized, they suck at being guard dogs. Why? Because they’re simply great with humans. They could be protective when it comes to their owners, but that’s not enough for being a good guard dog.

You don’t read about a Chihuahua attack in the newspapers, because they are harmless. But if an abused pit bull runs away an attacks someone, that story will be all over the newspapers. But in general, there’s no stats that proof the theory of pit bull biting people all over the place.

You don’t even have to be into dogs to know that this is complete rubbish. Pit bulls are dogs, they’re not ruminants.

It’s painful to deal with the fact that some people believe that pit bulls don’t feel pain. Of course they feel pain, just like any other dog or an animal. There’s no reason for them not to feel pain. They’re just strong dogs, and they could be more tolerant to pain than other dogs, but that’s it.

And yet another completely false fact. They do have a strong bite without a doubt. However, breeds like Rottweiler and German Shepherd have more bite pressure per square inch.

So until now, we’ve established that pit bulls are not monsters and they’re definitely not ruminants as well. The next on the list is the comparison to zombies, and no, they’re not zombies either.

This is like saying that Michael Clarke Duncan was a mean person just because he was a big fella. They’re not even meant for fighting, just like any other dog breed. Pit bulls will sacrifice their lives without a second of hesitation, but only to protect their family.

We don’t have to say anything about this one. All you have to do is go to YouTube and search for pit bull with kittens, or pit bull with puppies and you’ll see for yourself if pit bulls can’t get along with other animals.

Thanks to breed specific legislation, tens of thousands of dogs are put to sleep every year. According to the American Bar Association, this law is not making U.S communities any safer. If we want to fix this problem, we need to hold the owners responsible.

Every dog has a different personality and describing the whole breed as vicious is wrong. A body made of mussels is not an indicator of vicious.

And again, every dog is different and has its own personality. Have you heard about the story of the heroic pit bull who carried an injured Chihuahua for days? The Joni and Chachi story went viral for a reason. These two were friends, real friends! The story has a happy ending, because the pit and the Chihuahua were both adopted and they’re living together now!
