We have a pit-mix (the other main part is whippet, and who knows what else), and the fear of BSL making its way to the 'Burgh is always in the back of my mind. The part about 'eager to please' is sooooo true. These pups just want to love and be loved :)<br /><br /><br />(PS, Hello Bully is our local pit rescue organization, and they are FANTASTIC!)steelcityfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818659474495130541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-52840265171909165552011-04-01T18:41:04.282-07:002011-04-01T18:41:04.282-07:00Very well written.

I'm glad the 'Pit Bull Hysteria' hasn't really taken hold in New Zealand, although it is here in a small measure. <br /><br />Thankfully Greyhounds are safe from any breed bans!

Mom read somewhere that small dogs actually bite more often - but since they do less damage, it never makes the news. I would love for the news to show the positive stories about these dogs. If they would stop freaking out everytime there was a dog bite, then it wouldn't seem so bad. Mom was bitten by a german shepard as a kid but that doesn't mean she is afraid of dogs or shepards (in fact her family had one when she was growing up). It is sad that as a society people are so eager to paint animals and people with a broad brush!Random Felineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591546634183113556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-18526820774960354862011-03-30T04:06:54.636-07:002011-03-30T04:06:54.636-07:00Excellent points you made - I know where we lived ...Excellent points you made - I know where we lived previously in Nebraska pit-bulls and pit-bull crosses were banned and if you got a warning about your dog being "dangerous' the dog had to wear a muzzle any time it was out in public.

That and I think that many people have absolutely no idea of how much work it is to train a puppy, any puppy, to be a nice adult dog, and then aren't up to the task when reality hits. It's very sad.House of Carnivoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860492929556303670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-44386085270926616552011-03-29T17:50:07.511-07:002011-03-29T17:50:07.511-07:00There was a story here this past January that stat...There was a story here this past January that stated that of the 2500 dogs in our local shelter, 1000 of them were pits or pit mixes. I think it's not just that they have breed notoriety, they have also been overbred, and to top it off, many of the people who acquired them as status symbols now can't take care of them. At least, that's true of how it is in our area. I hope that things improve for them soon!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.com
