They are spayed, and she knows what she is doing. Full applause to her!<br /><br />But, as I noted at the conference, there are Pit Bulls and Pet Bulls and everything in between. Most of the time these dogs come with a few more amps inside them than the average dog, and too often their owners are too young, too undisciplined, and with too unstable a life and a living arrangment. The result is that nearly a million pit bulls a year are killed -- 40,000,000 pounds of dead pit bulls a year -- because of this mixture of a high-amped dog and a sub-wattage human. <br /><br />Please take the time to read this post and the others on this blog about Pit Bulls >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2010/03/between-two-lies-lost-opportunity-for.html <br /><br />To be clear I am NOT saying this dog is the right dog for everyone. In fact, I think very few people should own butcher dog breeds, but I would also say thay if you are in for getting such a dog, there is no reason to get a likely-to-be unhealthy Dogue when a perfectly fine (in every way) Pit Bull is likely to fit your needs, be free at the local pound, and look great on a leash. In the end, of course, with either dog you will have to shoulder the phenomenal responsibility of excercise, socialization and training. As I noted here >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/01/is-it-time-to-dump-bulldog.html most people are not willing to do that, which is why they gravitate to unfit-for-function English Bulldogs. And, of course, a lot of people lie to themselves (and others) about the nature of Pit Bulls and the responsibility of dog ownership.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-86874554574862953652012-04-24T22:29:34.953-04:002012-04-24T22:29:34.953-04:00Patrick, You had me...I loved this presentation, a...Patrick, You had me...I loved this presentation, a lot, until I got to this remark "I am still not sure what a Dogue de Bordeaux is supposed to do that a rescue Pit<br />Bulls cannot do better, but I am still applauding a focus on health." You have gone from a remark about a dog with life shortening physical health issues to a remark about a dog with life shortening mental health issues. These issues are equally serious. The off-the-charts aggression of pit bulls is something to consider when making comparisons. You can't train away DNA. The aggression found in pit bulls is the cause for many of them to enter the rescue system. A change of address is not likely to change the actual dog.april 29https://www.blogger.com/profile/01377958791525950902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-71883081964150829102012-04-24T18:11:10.647-04:002012-04-24T18:11:10.647-04:00Yes.
