Pit bulls, by all accounts are gentle dogs. Certainly more gentle than chihuahuas, which are often vicious, or dalmations, which tend to be nervous. They don't deserve this.

That is really a stupid law. *directs bitch, please icon at Colorado* If you train a dog to be vicious, it will be vicious. Period. I feel awful for all the nice, friendly pit bulls who are dying for this. If someone tried to take away my dog just because of her breed, I would be really, really upset.

And word about the dalmations. Everyone thinks they're all friendly because of the movies, but a friend of mine had one when we were little and that's the only dog that's ever bitten me. And it was mentally disturbed because the previous owners (not my friend's family) abused it.

*sigh*

Dalmations can be nervous in families, because they're predisposed to be one-owner dogs. I'm not surprised it behaved badly when confronted with small children-- ALL dogs should be supervised with kids, though mostly it's because small children do things to provoke them, usually without even knowing it....

I've heard that. This dog really did have a lot of physical and mental problems. And we weren't that young, even. I was about 10 or 11 when this happened.

Ah, yeah... sounds like it had long-standing behavior issues.
