MYTH vs. FACT about PIT BULLS

Myth:   Pit Bulls or Pit Bull type dogs are human aggressive by nature.

Fact:    Studies by the Center for Disease Control have proven that no one breed of dog is inherently viscous. The CDC supports the position that irresponsible owners, NOT breed, is the number one cause of dog bites. In my experience the breed is very loyal and caring to humans. I have been breeding this breed since 2009 and i have never experienced human aggression with my bullies.  At one time my PIT BULL gave birth. to my amazement SHE let my friend check the puppies without the growling and gave us full trust. In fact they have been good to my children.

Myth: Pit Bulls or Pit Bull type dogs have "LOCKING JAWS" (Locking Mechanism in their Jaws)

Fact:   The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of Pit Bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any [other] breed of dog. There is absolutely not evidence for the existence of any kind of ’locking mechanism’ unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier, says Dr. I. Lerh Brisbin of the University of Georgia (from the ADBA booklet, “Discover the American Pit Bull Terrier.)

Myth:   Pit Bulls or Pit Bull type dogs are inherently vicious.

Fact:     No more vicious than Golden Retrievers, Beagles, or other popular “family” dogs.  In a recent testing done by The American Canine Temperament Testing Society (ATT), pit bulls achieved a passing rate of 83.9%, passing 4th from the highest of 122 breeds. That’s better than Beagles, passing at 78.2 and Golden Retrievers passing at 83.2%.  The average passing rate for ALL breeds is 77%. While walking my bully one time we encountered another man was walking his dog (not a pit bull). The other dog just growled and attacked another person who was jogging, while my bully just walk past and even ignored the situation.

Myth:   Pit Bulls or Pit Bull type dogs are responsible for most fatal dog attacks.

Fact:     From 1965 – 2001, there have been at least 36 different breeds/types of dog that have been involved in a fatal attack in the United States. (This number rises to at least 52 breeds/types when surveying fatal attacks worldwide).

Dogs defend territory, they exhibit dominance and if allowed can become protective of their family.  All this behavior can be controlled by the owner and aggression is mainly an act of behavior. The American Pit Bull Terrier is clearly a useful member of society.  The breed was World War One Hero and it’s rated as having one of the best overall temperaments in the United States (A.T.T.S.).  Have you ever heard of a local pit bull who is a HERO. Check out the story of CHIEF local pitbull in the Philippines who saved his masters wife and daughter from a DEADLY COBRA. The breed is used for dog show competitions, therapy, service work, search and rescue, police work and companionship.  Man has domesticated dogs to the point they serve as companions, workers and even objects of beauty. Dogs will protect man, see for him, hunt for him and play.  One breed is not more inherently good or evil, vicious, harmful or helpful.  It is man who is responsible for the dog’s behavior, not the breed of dog.  Those passing breed bans fail to understand that a mis-trained Pit Bull can be replaced with another breed.  People determine whether dogs will be useful members of a community or a nuisance.  It is the people who allow their dogs to become dangerous and legislators must control and punish the people.”  Keep it BULLY!!!!!!!
