Pitbulls: A Misconception

Millions of people argue that Pitbulls are naturally a violent and aggressive dog breed. That they are bred for fighting, they have locking jaws, and are not safe around kids, dogs, or other animals. I too was always skeptical of these dogs until I found myself adopting one nearly two years ago....

-This is Roxy, a purebred Pitbull that I rescued nearly two years ago. She is one of the calmest pups I have ever encountered and has been nothing but gentle since I got her. She is great around my family and neighbors and truly is a member of the family.

-This is Ruger and Roxy together. Ruger is a Pit Mastiff mix. Mastiffs are another dog breed that get a bad reputation. He is easily the most sociable dog I have ever been around. He weighs 120lbs and is true gentle giant!

-This is Boom, an incredible athlete and friend of many different other animals on my sister's farm. Boom plays with rabbits and chickens when he's not chasing a tennis ball.

Although they may be bigger and stronger, Pits are just like any other dog. Don't let these common misconceptions lead you to believe that they are a bad breed. Who knows, one day they could be your best friend!
