May not be a BR scam- I use to live in BR but now live Alaska and it happened this past weekend to me and haven't visited since the summer

Remo you watching the game in anchorage??

It all depends on how these dogs are brought up. Yes pit bulls get a bad rap, however this is do to ignorant people who lock there dogs up in cages for weeks only to let them out on chained collars with locks around their necks. They've never had any interaction with humans other than when these people decide they want to fight them or chain them outside to a post. As a result , these animals are angry and have no experience with handling human reaction. If you ask me, I might also be pretty pissed off given their treatment. These dogs are often abused, the newest thing I've seen recently with out of the pits we handle is pouring battery acid on their back. Then the throw them in a back yard full of children, who no matter what kind of dog you have you should be cautious with. Pulling on tails and lying on top of them are things that dogs may feel threatened by and is also what every child given the chance loves to do to their puppy. But once again do it to a dog who has had no social interaction whatsoever and has been badly Abused makes them feel threatened, and therefore their natural reaction is to attack.

If you ask me, it's not the breed with the problem, it's the ignorant people who own this breed. If you look at the owners whose dogs attack, they're to blame. Would you ever allow your dog around a potentially dangerous animal if you had any doubt? Most these owners whose dogs attacks can barely take care of their children, much less a dog.

And yes, I have experience. I currently have a pit bill, who my 4 lb chihuahua attacks on a regular basis and she does nothing. I would trust her with my new born as well as anybody else's child. So before you jump to conclusions on the nature of this breed, take a look at the circumstances surrounding these attacks. After all, this breed once was considered nanny dogs, as they were often used to watch after small children in the 1800s. If you ask me, it's not the dogs who have changed, but their owners.

Thanks! Just hope we don't pull a Birmingham and I have to stay at school with these kids tonight

Chanel, they're classic. Go to SAKS, they'll be happy to help you out. I would probably go with a classic black one.
