@iiogama he does look very majestic here. When he burps in your face, or farts as he jumps on the sofa…not so much. 😂
@kev you are correct tho man. Maeve (my APBT) gets lots of attention and comments about how beautiful she is, right up until I answer what breed she is after being asked. I can't count the times people have stopped and asked to pet her, commented about how well behaved she is just to basically run away after hearing her breed. I've resorted to just calling her a boxer & lab mix at this point. She's already registered as such so I'm able to find apartment rentals. 😂
@jawsh Pits are actually banned here in the UK. This guy is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, but yeah I know exactly what you mean. Staffies get a bad rep over here as a lot of idiots own them, but they’re great dogs.
I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners.
@kev with the American Pit Bull Terrier, peoples mind go straight to dog fighting. Which actually was not the original thing the breed was bred for. I wish it was more well known what most dog breeds original use was. Some of these same people have breds who were originally created for baiting, hunting and bloodsports. They have dogs who were bred for the same things the APBT's they fear so much were created for. A man who lives few houses down the street has 2, Cane Corsos and lectures me about allowing my teenage daughters to walk our dog without supervision. I'm pretty sure the Corso was originally bred as a war dog. But you are absolutely correct, bad owners create bad dogs. Training and socialization are key for any breed, without that you are bound to have issues.
