re: Why do trashy people own pitbulls?

And why do they constantly let their chihuahuas run around in the middle of the street.

It pains me to like your posts so much considering your handle and Alabama affiliation

Lol. Nobody's perfect.

I am glad my family didn't really give me a choice. But luckily, they also raised me to think critically and live by the Golden rule

I'm middle class, no tats or piercings, no lift kit on my truck, and have a college degree.

I also have a mutt that is primarily pit bull.

He was a stray pup that would hang around where I worked. I fed him on gave him some attention on my breaks. Nobody claimed him, so I took him to a vet, got him his shots, and he is now fixed. Plus, he probably dissuaded people from even thinking of wandering onto my property and backyard...you know, those that have no business being there.

With that said, I'm 100% sure I am a better human being than the fine posters who are whining about pit bull owners on the first couple of pages.

This. It's not about the breed so much as environment, socialization and how they are treated

Yep. Though I will say, there are a few breeds that I've never seen be friendly. The one on the top of my head is a Chow. But again, that could be because someone who wants a Chow, might specifically want a natural guard dog. That, or it's someone who doesn't have a clue how to raise and treat a dog, and understand what the dog was originally bred to do. Dogs used to have jobs. The only difference in breeds, is good much work you can expect them to behave in way that fits your lifestyle.
