Seriously, if you want to give people some information about the Bully breeds, why don't you promote Spay/Neutering? Forget all these kennels that breed "game" dogs, or "show quality" how about helping the ones out that don't have homes?
I have 4. 2 are pure bred APBT, one is a Staffordshire Terrier, and one is a Pit/Mastiff mix. ALL were rescues. The on APBT was a humane society dog. He was born there, and after he was adopted he developed mange. The owners were going to have him put to sleep. I have had him for over a year now. He's got an immune deficiency problem, and he's never going to get better, but I love him, and he's happy with me.
This dog would have been put to sleep in a shelter. Just like normal, happy, and healthy pitbulls are EVERYDAY because of people who just want one to be cool, and then when they get big and they can't be controlled because most dog owners suck, they take them to the pound where they are so over crowded, they just put them down.
I HATE dog breeders. ESPECIALLY bully breeders. We have so many now. I live in Central PA, and I have about 15 dogs bullys walking through my doors a month. And I've had them from 8 weeks, to being fully grown and having puppies.
It's a sad sad sight to see someone who wants to help teach the community about bullies, but doesn't even mention population control.
I could go on all day about this, but this is a VERY touchy subject for me. Why?
Of the dogs I have rescued, I have rescued 2 that were starved and could barely walk, 1 that thrown out of a truck while driving down the highway, only to find bullet casings and garbage in his vomit (he is STILL a very shy dog), to a dog that was actually thrown over my 6 foot high fence with an envelope duct taped to his collar...
When you get their population under control and get the public more aware of these breeds, then you can breed "show bullies".. until then, love the ones that are already here. They are COMPANIONS, NOT money makers.
