Pitbulls

            I feel like I am an expert in a lot of things but one thing that I’m pretty knowledgeable about is Pitbulls. I’m originally from Florida where my cousins owned Pitbulls and I was just fascinated about going over their house on weekend that I helped take care of them. After helping for a long time when one of their Females had a litter they gave me one free of charge. Where I was living Pitbulls are banded in the part of Florida where I and my mom and my little brother were living. Pitbulls had a horrible wrap where I come from. When you think of Pitbulls you think especially of dog fighting and that the breed is mean and vicious. From the day my cousins gave me my first Pitbulls to now being 23 years of age I’ve only owned Pitbulls and I love the breed. When I graduated High school in California I had a male Pitbull by the name of Trey that was a show dog/ agility coarse dog that was decorated in first place metals.  Ended up getting my breeding license and took some course to better understand dog behavior in general. In which now I feel like an expert in dog especially Pitbulls since I did so much to understand the breed. Also I taught a training class and made good money but interacted with Pitbulls of all ages. From the well behaved to the non-socialized dog. A stigma that Pitbulls carry is being mean aggressive and will turn on their owner. Statistically Chihuahuas bite more people that Pitbulls and any dog that is not socialized can be very mean and aggressive. Bottom line I feel like I’m an expert in the Pitbull breed and could argue with anybody about the breed that I love.
