The pitbull thing has become a huge gear grinder for me. My niece and her boyfriend are insistent on getting one, and my mother and father who raised my niece has said explicitly. "Go ahead if you guys wish, but the dog isn't allowed anywhere near out home, or our dogs." I can understand this, since they have two small dogs, and my mother had an issue with a pitbull in the dog park once. But they are pulling all the "it's just a misunderstood breed." BS

My big issue, is that they both aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, and really have nor the ability or smarts to train or control an animal like a pit bull. I truly believe this dog is her boyfriend trying to have a 'cool tough dog' as it fits his MO.

I also expressed my dissatisfaction, and expressed the dog isn't allowed near my daschund, who is a total a-hole around big dogs, and even though that isn't exactly a glowing reference to my dog, the difference is, my dog attacks hers, you could remove it with one hand, hers decides to fight back.... It's a festival of horror.

My issue with the breed isn't the behavioral issues. There are a lot of a-hole dogs. Big and small. It's the fact that when they attack, they inflict devastating damage. They can't grasp that concept, and why a couple in their 70's specifically an old lady who had an incident with one, have no desire to have an animal like that around their home. They are taking it personally.

Now they've cut off all communication with everyone, so her boyfriend can accomadate his little small man syndrome dog. It's frustrating. I fully expect to see them with full neck tattoos, and a jacked up F350 in the coming months.
