No Pitbulls are Good with Children...
OMG - if I didn't just see that statement made on a message board and get very upset! The person said that her father had a pitbull who was nice and great with people, but terrible with children. She saw the dog nip at chidren on 3 different occasions so the pitbull is always put in a closed room when kids are around. She went on to say that pits see children as little animals instead of as humans and that's why you always hear stories of attacks on children.
If your dog (pit or not) has "issues" with kids, then they have dominance/aggression issues in general that need to be addressed. They are not "balanced" dogs.
You better believe I responded to that post and said that that statement was ABSOLUTELY FALSE.
Then I posted these pictures...
Now this person was posting her statement in response to someone else who was concerned for a family member's new baby. She said that their pit was hyper and aggressive. She also said that this dog had attacked and killed a number of small animals, but that the owners "swear" the dog has mellowed out. She also said that they worship their dog and never discipline it.
Now I don't care what kind of dog that is...pit or not...I would also be concerned. Not so much because they own a pit, but because of "how" they own this dog and because they are obviously not giving the dog what it needs to be a balanced/happy DOG.
Would I trust my kids with that dog? Pit or other breed, NO WAY. But DO NOT say that NO pits are good with children because that is simply NOT TRUE. It's owners like the one above though, that give the breed a bad name and result in "incidents" that can be very dangerous.

i have a red nose pit and she is 1 1/2 years old and i have a 2 year old little boy who can do anything to her and she will just sit there just the other day i walked in the living room and he was bouncing up and down on her back saying getty up horesy and she just sat there any dog can be aggresive but it has to do with the way you raise it if you teach your dog to be mean its going to be mean !!!
some nice pictures of pitbulls you got there! It's a shame the media don't recognise that many other breeds of dogs have the odd bad apple amongst them.
i have a pitbull and im only14 and shes extremely friendly wateva idiot wrote there not good he needs to geta life hes just jealous and a h8er
A pitbull will turn on a child in heartbeat, and when that occurs, it is too late for the innocent child. Would you like me to post all my pictures of disfigured, mangled and dead children as a result of supposedly nice well trained pitbulls?? Your fooling yourself, and I pray and hope it never happens to your child or someone elses.
Great page...Keep up the great pics and awarness to a beautiful breed.
I have a page dedicated to pitbulls, being a pitbull lover myself( I do not condone fighting). I was hoping to use a pic of your dog with your shild for a myths page in my blog, would you mind? Please feel free to join our group and send us pics to help support the breed. I am also making t-shirts through my printing business, some proceeds will go to fighting banning laws on Pitbull's and their owners. Have a good day.

I love the page. I have a blue Amstaff male and he's super gentle and sweet with children. It's such a shame that this wonderful bully breeds have been accused wrongly by a media. They're such caring and loving by nature and loyal to death.
Thanks for sharing the photos and story with us and the world.
leave a few pics of the devetation done by a pitbull to wake people up. Today we had to put down our family pet, he was 2/3rd German Shepherd 1/3rd pit. At night he would dig under the fence or climb the 6' fence and go hunting small dogs and cats that he brought home dead. I beleive the pitbull is genetically engineerd to be a killing machine.He killed 2x and now he's gone. There is something wrong in a dogs brain and genes to kill just for the sake of killing

To whoever said that, would you like it if I showed you all the pictures of disfigured, mangled and dead dogs as a result of supposedly nice and civilized humans?
