I took a rain day from the horses today, and spent WAY too much time going back and forth between these two forums. Ironically, my first heated debate occurred over here as well- so I feel like I spent the whole day trying to hammer flat a warped sheet of tin with a rubber mallot. Every time both sides almost smoothed out, one would pop up and the whole thing would warp again:o

I still feel many over there can benefit from the thread- as can the APBT and we who love the breed -if even one person chooses to listen to the truth about our breed as opposed to the lies the media, government, AR groups, etc. dishes out. It's a good opportunity for us to stand by our breed amidst many who do not understand or even care, and to keep ourselves poised in spite of the reason we are there: a very hurting post someone over there made singling out our breed, particularly Lil Bit. It's bound to get a little heated, we love our dogs and so do they. I'm not expecting to change minds, only open them up some.

I once was a petbull owner and rescuer who felt my personal experience with my personal dogs was adequate to be an authority on the APBT. I'm living proof that train of thought does not a make a responsible APBT owner.

She insists that not only can the DA be trained out, but it can be bred out too and it's the "closet gamemen" that are continuing to breed the DA into the dogs. .

Not likely. Since I was 8 years old every male dog I have owned has been DA.
They all behaved well in public and on a leash but if given freedom to reach another male dog there would be a fight and a few would also attack females if they were in their territory. I have owned in the last 50 years a retriever mix, Dalmation, Poodles, GSDs, OESD, Dobermans, Boxer and last but certainly not least the APBT.
Maybe people just don't see the DA in other breeds.
Example, I was at the vet's getting a shot for one of my cats in comes a guy with a mixed breed hound. The dog is up on it's hind legs trying to get to people. It is barking and whining and everyone is smiling thinking the dog is so funny. If my male was acting that way people would be running out of the building in fear. So anyway along comes a little mop dog and it's owner also has no control...so hound mix and mop dog are all over each other. Only one vet tech and I freeze because we are the only ones who notice the hair coming up on the hound mix's back. But just when I think the dog is going to snap and grab the mop dog the owner of mop dog drags it away to the scale to be weighed. Hound mix is called in the see vet and everyone is still smiling. LOL
Ignorance is truely bliss.
