if ‘It s how you raise them’ is true, how can someone adopt shelter adult pit mixes?

i dont know but they need SOMEONE to protect little Jaden

Reminds me of Max Kellermans brother

IMO, only an idiot would adopt a pit that they didn't know the history of. Especially if they have kids.

or adopt one that they did know the history of. or get one as a puppy.

And I bet your cousin still defends the ‘breed’

Its not

Because how the current family treats the dog going forward matters more than the past.

My pittie was thrown out of a moving vehicle in front of the shelter. He’d never been inside a house before. He’d never seen a cat before. He learned pretty quickly how to behave.

My frenchie was arguably treated worse than him because she was caged up and they tried to use her as a breeder. Jokes on them because they thought she was infertile so they got rid of her.

Theyre both great, loving dogs now because we took the time to make them that way.

We adopted a pit mix as a puppy that was on the streets (with 15 other puppies) from the Bahamas. We were there for vacation and ran into the family fostering them and ended up with one. She is the sweetest dog 98% of the time, but she is food driven and food protective. She almost killed our 15 year old king charles over a bag of popcorn that hit the floor. We love her to death, but have to feed them separate and put her up when we eat. Somethings cant be unlearned and fighting for food on the street is apparently one of them.

Put em all down.

Regardless of the history of any pit mix or any pit, they are unpredictable and anyone with common sense would not have one. They are a liability and could snap at anytime. Why would anyone want to take that chance of one injuring or killing your child or anyone for that matter.

I know someone who's child was almost killed by one playing in her own yard. The pitbull owner lived 2 streets over and had gotten out of the house and attacked the child. It is sickening. That poor child is scarred for life.

I did 8 years ago. They are about 9 and 10 years old now. Zero issues and great dogs. They might be staffies, who knows. But I did not have children at home. And would not bring any adult dog of any breed/mix home if I did have children, only a puppy.
