![]() ![]() So that doesn’t help poorly bred pitbulls’ cases. I do believe breed traits matter, and well pitbulls were bred for a specific reason, and with so many BYB’s / irresponsible people breeding/ mills theres so much bad genetic pools out there…. Not even giving this beautiful little baby a chance.Īlso true. Imagine giving up this pup just because someone said it looks like a pitbull. Your pup could very well have zero pitbull in them. We got a DNA test and it turns out they have zero pitbull in them. We adopted a medium hair pure black puppy from the USA knowing fully that she may be part pitbull, many of her siblings looked part pitbull, and we have a ban on bully breeds here. They're labelling this pup as a lab mix for the same reason of why you're now saying this dog isn't for you, the stigma against pitbulls and any dog that even remotely looks like one is insanely unrealistic and puts so many dogs at risk of life at a shelter or euthanized. I've met so many pitbulls and none of them have ever been aggressive to kids. If you adopt a shelter mutt you must acknowledge that any dog no matter the size, shape, colour, or fur might have pitbull in them. Then find a dog from a responsible breeder. And this is just purely MY opinion from what I’ve kind of gathered and realized in my own experience and reading about it as well. You’re not finding no Great Dane or Beagle or golden retriever in shelters in those places. Areas that don’t have a lot of resources ARE full of pitbull mixes. If a person did^ that to a yorkie… or to… a pug. The problem: irresponsible people who know nothing about dogs who get pitbulls and do no training with the dogs may even mistreat them unknowingly and also poor genetics and then the dog grows up to be reactive with behavioral issues: that make them dangerous because they do have the capability of doing a LOT of harm. not saying all pitbulls attack, not making any blanket statement However if someone irresponsible had a pitbull and it came to attack me, well there is a lot more at risk. Of course I hate all irresponsible pet owners, but if someone is irresponsible with their chihuahua or dachshund, it’s not putting me or my dog at much risk… that’s really what it boils down to. I’m not blaming pitbulls - but the irresponsible people who own dogs in general. You won’t be seeing Dobermans filling up shelters - these are rare-er breeds. Areas where there may not be a lot of resources.
