Pitbull Owners

Are there any pitbull owners around?
If so, post your pics!
Here's mine.

The Daddy


The Son


The brindle girl below was a gift. Pretty nice gift, eh?

Yeah, people that dont have pits
really dont know anything about them
other than thinking that they are aggressive.
It's all in how you raise them. They can be the
most loyal and protective dog you could ever
have.

Lucky you...Pits are now banned in Maryland.

Of course you find a few who keep them illegally.

Why not? They're only mean if the owner makes
them mean. Is that the reason u can't stand them?

And by the way redrims, are they banned throughout
the whole state?

I think so, but I'm not sure. I know for sure that they are banned in P.G. County (the county I live in)


I'm not complete sure how they enforce this law, but they have some kind of time line they go buy. Like you probably had to own the pitbull for several years (before 1999) for the law not to apply to you or the pitbull must be a certain age.
I'm not to sure what the rules are, but they are trying to limit the amount of pitbulls in MD.

That's wrong of them to try to limit the
pitbull population to a level near extinction.
They shouldn't allow a bad owner of a pit
in Maryland.
Anyone who fights dogs should be shot.
They're the ones that give the dogs a bad reputation.

Before we got married my (now) wife used to say the same **** about her pit bull. It was pretty nice and calm, until the day it jumped on my sleeping Rottweiler (which really WAS nice and calm and loyal).

Sold the pit bull the next day to a breeder.

Were the 2 always around each other?
If 2 dogs are around each other for a great period of
time, they dont just all of the sudden try to kill the
other one. Especially if the other one is sleeping.
The father pit that I posted above has a chiwawa that runs around with him in the front yard. He is very protective over him.
Some guy came in the fence ****** with it and the pit
attacked the guy by taking a big chunk out his side.

Therefore, if a dog and another dog is around each other
for a long time or grow up together, they will become attached
to eachother. No matter if it's a pit or not.

altho this could turn into a potential argument, there is a problem with "making" breeds. at some point there is a strong possibility that they will turn, even if they were/are the most loving dogs. don't get me wrong, i love pits, and rotties, and the wonderful mastif...
just gotta remember, even tho u may think it's domesticated, and loving and loyal, never forget it's still an animal with instincts...

but yeah, pits are cool.

no argument here.
Yes, I know they all have instincts.
I guess I've just had good luck with all my
dogs so far. Another thing is, is that you
have to give them all equal attention because
it's easy for one to get jealous.

ain't that the truth!
if u can have a fighting dog be loyal and non-aggressive for life, that's the best. i like when they are always around u, like they get lonely if ur not around.
i've only had good dogs that listened...most of the time.
