i think they are the most beautiful dogs you can get just sucks how they get so much bad press all the pitbulls i have ever been around in my life are the friendlyst dogs ive meet apart from first time meeting them when they are just looking after there home..
Dude, the best advice is dont bother. Sure there are sum nice red nosed pittys, but in this country the lines are so inbreed its bad news. If you must have it then.....Dont train it to guard, dont let it sleep on your bed, and dominate the dog (not beating it but using Alpha Male/female role on it) take it to training, and dont treat it like a baby/family member, its a dog not a baby. Keep it in its place. I work in Animal Control and have seen the results of pittys gone bad, but they are in the minority of dogs that go bad, but when they do......... be careful.
Depending on where you live in the country will depend on the bylaws of the council re neutering under section 33 of the Dog Control Act 1996. Dont hide the fact you own a pitty or try to register it as a differant breed, it is not worth the fines and hassle, cause if you lie in my district thats $750 for lying, $300 for unreg, then what ever else I can throw in to the mix, and if you get it back it will be neutered. If you own up I dont require the neutering. Oh yeah you will have to have muzzel on your pooch if your going out for walkies.
