The Media doesn't do anything to pitbullz Its the simple fact that this poor dog probably has the highest jerk owner ratio of any dog (competing closely to blonds and chiwawas ^_^ ).
When I think of pit owners I know personally, only one of them has one because he loves animals and adopted it. The rest all get them because of what they are capable of(not to say they are bad owners but they are compensating ya know like getting a half ton truck for communiting they get it cause they think its bad ass and they hypothesize about how getting a dog that can handle anything is what they really need.). They are pound for pound one of the most deadly creatures out there. From their jaws to their skin to their natural stance this breed is raw power and they can take it as well as they can dish it out.
I think its more the owner and general owner attitude towards this breed that generates bad press. The mike vics of the world aren't helping ya know.
That being said I know plenty of pit bulls that are complete dolls.
Finding pits for fighting is a easy thing to do. I was at a reptile trade show and their was a guy selling large pups based on the fathers weight.
The dog is a reflection of the owner and so many of this poor breed have had A holes for owners.
That being said I do have a affection for this type of animal but I generally love any dog, save for little fofo types.
