I Like Dogs

Why do pit bulls and bulldogs have such a negative reputation?

I've been around both breeds and both have been very gentle and calm with me.

It's not the dog or the breed that makes it violent, it's the owner and the dog being a product of it's environment.

They're dogs just like every other breed.

And, I also really like Shih Tzus and Yorkshire Terriers (off-topic).

Because of the idiots that own them

Not always the owners .a good owner can't tell weather a dog is going to snap for no obvious reason

Of coarse not but as a general rule it's true
To many idiots own bull breeds

A dogs training doesn't just finish with sit and paw a whole range of environments and socialisation needs to take place as well as obedience training

My relations dog just snapped for no reason and there was no way anyone could have prevented it and nobody has a idea why it happened even now ... Your right though there is to many idiots with bull breeds ..

ardentizzy

The fact is though that some of these bull breeds can be dangerous ...

German Shepards have attacked more people in the UK than any bull breeds or all of them put together
