    I rescued a Red Nose pit from some bikers back in the 80's. They wanted "a fighting dog". He didn't have fight in him. Given the chance, I would clone that guy for the rest of my life. Gentle. wonderful, dedicated, and nowhere in that animal was "dangerous". I miss him everyday.

      That's exactly what people don't get with pits. Dog fighters consider one puppy being aggressive enough to be more than a bait dog out of a litter of 8 and then that one litter out of 8 other litters a success.

    I just ran into one the other day sitting in the middle of a dirt road , so I stopped to see what was up and he came right to me . I have not been around pit bulls so I was a little leery at first , he had a harness on with a name tag so I held him by it to read the tag . He was so strong and had this huge head with a cute smile. As we called the number on the tag the owner pulled up and thanked us for watching out for him . He was on a walk and decided he did not want to go any further and sat down so dad went home got the van to bring him home . His name was Domino such a handsome boy :-) so yeh pit bulls get a bad wrap but this one was a lover boy , like any dogs it has a lot to do with how you raise them .

      We lost our pitbull just a few days short of Xmas '22 to nephritis and it was especially hard because we had just lost our black lab mix to old age just days before Thanksgiving that same year. My dad took him in six years earlier after he was dumped off at the shop that he ran. According to someone living in that area at the time who'd seen Roman around before, someone tied firecrackers to his tail so naturally he hated loud noises. If it was thundering outside or someone was lighting fireworks in the summer, he'd just jump onto any of our laps and tremble. Beside that, you couldn't tell he was mistreated at all judging by his temperament. The only thing he ever did wrong was bark a lot.
      I think about all my animals who are no longer with me in this life everyday but it really does piss me off how in today's day in age with all the work people have done to break the stigma surrounding pitbulls, people CHOOSE to remain ignorant.

      @@cv-xu5cs I would just look into those studies a bit more. A majority of dogs implicated in those type of incidents are in fact not pitbull-type breeds or they’re numerous different mixed breeds that have been misidentified as "pitbulls" or pitbull-type dogs. The most recent scientific peer-reviewed studies found that each of the four unique pitbull-type breeds account for approximately 2.5% of fatal dog attacks (or a total of 10% as a group, to be fair). But, importantly, the dog bite-related fatality risk rate for pitbull-type dogs is fully in-line with other strong breeds of similar sizes and strengths when considering breed population sizes. It’s just that a ton of bites get attributed to Pit-bulls when, in fact, the dog has no Pit-Bull DNA. It just looks like one so it gets misidentified.

      But the problem soon became that the Pitbulls actually killed many children in the past aswell as present.

      These were Pitbulls that were raised in loving caring enviroments since they were babies themselves..

    My dog found me 10 yrs ago and started training me from the first night that I saw him running up the street with a full size Doberman. I assumed she was his mom, because he looks like a min-pin. We went after her as soon as I got a collar and leash on him, but we never found her and no one claimed to know anything about them. I tried for months to find a home for him, but I was growing closer and more worried about him never having a good enough place. Now he is sick and going through some issues, but I'm praying that he gets to stay in my life for a few more years. Without him,I have no urge to get up in the morning. He makes me want to see what the day holds for us, and what goofy antics he will come up with. 🙏

    My boy, Sputnik, is also a pitbull cross staffie. He's just turned 4. I've had people cross the street to avoid him. Avoid a beautiful, kind, sweet, boy, who hasn't got a bad bone in him. The neighbours have a little boy, he's also 4, and him and Sput roll around the front yard together. His mum hasn't got a worry in the world with them. We go to a large, off leash, dog park, here in our bit of Australia. He just loves it. He is friends with every dog and owner there. All he wants to do, is run, swim, play tug of war with a stick, and score treats. Plus there's his girlfriend, Luna. He idolises the ground she walks on. It was love at first sight. I love my boy. He's asleep on his recliner now, as we've just got home from the park.

Anyway after a year of my 2 labs passing someone asked me if I would take their 9 year old rescued pit used as a bait dog as they had started working away and couldn't keep him. Obviously I said yes but I never expected the constant negativity he and I got in a way I've never experienced with the labs. It got so frustrating I thought I'd end up shouting at someone I found him a green bandana with Friendly in big black capitals sewn onto it and thankfully it worked, now he even gets to play with little dogs who are his absolute favourites, presumably because he doesn't feel threatened by them.

It was a beautiful grayish color and I could tell before the owner open the glass door to let me in that this dog was DEFINITELY friendly. It was wagging it’s tail back and forth as it was really exciting to greet me. It immediately lowered my inhibitions or fears and myth’s that pities were dangerous. While hanging at my friends shop, we sat down one the floor (3) of us and the dog had to lay in the middle. My only regret was not taking a photo of the moment. Since then I have met 2 other incredible pitties and thinking very hard about adopting one. They have been given a bad rap because of their owners. I am convinced of that. Every pets demeanor is a true reflection of it’s owner. Plain and simply.

      They are smart, and they are people-pleasers, which makes them _trainable._
      That’s why they’re chosen as fighting dogs, not because they’re more aggressive. They don’t wanna fight, but they’re forced to, and they’ll do it, to please their human.
      Calling a dog who’s forced to fight aggressive is like calling a woman forced into sex trafficking a slut.
      Let that sink in.

    I used to go to work in a house where there were 2 boxers, 1 pit bull and a pit bull boxer cross. I had to climb the cellar stairs to get to the kitchen, where I was greeted by these 4 big dogs. The only thing I ever worried about was that in their jubilance, they might accidently knock me down, which they never did. Well behaved, and much more manageable, than 2 small poodles. I was not brought up to be a dog person, but these dogs were good smart obedient citizens. They get my vote.

      I've heard that rescues and some nice pet daycares and pet groomers will write their breed as a mix of bigger/ bulkier breeds such as those so that people don't make assumptions and for the protection if the dog and service from people seeking to force them out because of dumb breed specific laws. It's almost always about the environment they grew up in and pitties are just disproportionately unlucky in that department.

    I've been around dogs all my life. I have had dogs all my life, and though I have never had a Pit or a Staffordshire of my own, in the nearly 50 years that I have been around I have been associated with dozens of them. I have also fostered several Pits for up to a couple months at a time in the past. I would put my name in a nano second with 100% confidence on the fact that they are "without" question among the most loving, intellegent family friendly breeds I have ever been around. They are also among the most loyal breeds I have ever encountered if not the most. Now they aren't for everyone as with any breed, some are very high energy as pups and young adults and they are also "extremely" strong little dogs which may not suit everyone understandably, however they are compatible with anyone who wants to be compatible with them, and if they are not a compatible breed for someone I guarantee it's not because of the dogs nature. It's ironic that there is Dalmation in the blood lines, and that it's the Pit, people are concerned with. I have been around many of them as well and they are a wonderful breed in there own right, however as a family dog, especially one with small children, I would never recommend a Dalmation. I would however have no issue recommendimg a Staffordshire or a Pit Bull to anyone ever. I'm not saying Dalmations won't and don't make good family dogs because I have seen them and they certainly can, but in general they are not patient with small children and there dispositions (again in general) are not anywhere near as good natured to that of a Pit. That being said people are always going to judge what they don't know or understand, for good and bad and with blind ignorance. The important thing I believe is the relationship you have with each other. If you make each other happy then it's a match made in heaven, and I believe that goes for any breed. Pits however certainly are amazing dogs and it's sad because not only does the breed unjustly suffer, but those people who choose to be stubborn are missing out on one of the most amazingly wonderful breeds we have. Maybe even better than there very own....

      That's not quite accurate. A fighting dog will most often be culled by his enslaver for showing aggression towards people. They know they've created a monster that they couldn't handle if the dog had a mind for revenge.
      I'm also pushing back on calling them something else. Giving them a softer friendlier name is deceptive. People think they're getting some sedate puppy when they aren't. There are several dead cats and a wounded horse in San Francisco because of that exact complacency, not to mention all the pitties that were returned to the shelter. Instead of rebranding them, how about we do our best to show them as they are? It's not like that would be a hard sell. The only people afraid of my Brotato are the ones who refuse to meet him.

      It's hard to convince people when all they see is the negative stuff going on. Ted is the spitting image and personality of my first pittie. She was a goofball, happy & so sweet. She shied away from other dogs who showed aggression. It really has to do with being a responsible owner, spending the time needed to train them, giving them structure, and boundaries. I was intent on making her an ambassador for pitties and staffies, just like this lady. I never gave up on mine. She became my constant companion and sidekick. She was the best dog I've ever had and I miss her every day.
      The problem comes into play when the wrong people get their hands on them, when they mistreat/abuse, don't train, don't pay attention to the red flags, and/or train them to be guard dogs. Thanks for being an open-minded advocate for them.

      Sadly it's people who make them aggressive.
      Wherever my dad is now (he died) he'd be saying "I told you so" and how right he was. Our staffie X is the funniest most loving (sometimes very stinky) "little man" also called Ted too and we love him to bits - and it's returned in spades.

      Have you watched The Dodo Pittie Nation? Full of amazing videos about Pitties.

      All the story's/videos in the world can't change some people... But... As soon as you meet or own one that's it... A furever love...

    I see the thumbnail: How can anybody dislike this dog? He's got a pure soul. Just look at him.

    I love this woman for many reasons, 💓 and mostly for how she treats her dogs.

    Thank you Pam for rescuing Ted, fostering him & brother & getting Ted through such a dire surgery. Wonderful video. Made me smile just seeing Ted, his brother & Lullaby too. Wish you all many years of happiness, good health & love. ❤❤🐾🙏
