It is the


responsibility of every dog owner to


educate people about their chosen breed.  


As you will see from the information on this


site, my chosen breed is the wonderful


misunderstood Pit Bull!   In reviewing


BSL laws there are many breeds effected and only


more to come without proper education. 


Every 10 years or so there is a new "bad" breed. 


In the 70's it was the Doberman, 90's the


Rottiweilers, 00's it's the Pit Bull. 


Who's next?   It could be any powerful


breed.  

In my opinion, BSL


is a quick reaction to an incident without


education or knowledge.  People often


overreact to a dog attacks without knowing all


of the details surrounding the incident. 


There is always a reason for the attack, 


often it's a result of a child being left


unsupervised with a dog.  Children and dogs


should always be supervised, no matter what


breed of dog!   Many attacks are said


to be done by pit bulls, I don't believe there


is anyone who can identify a pit bull 100\%. 


To start, "pit bull" isn't a breed, its a term


used to categorize 3 breeds of dogs, American


Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier and


the American Pit Bull Terrier.  There are


at least 11 breeds that have the looks of a "pit


bull" and that's not including the mixes of


these breeds.  








Follow this link to try and identify the Pit


Bull.   The Biggest area for education


is Canine Aggression,  there are many types


of canine aggression.  The most important


fact is that Animal aggression and human


aggression are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT


things!  Just because an dog is animal


aggressive does NOT


mean that dog is or will be human aggressive! 

Education is


critical and before passing local 


ordinances, state laws our city and state


officials have a responsibility to become


educated on the subject matter and seek out


responsible opinions from experts.
