Are pit bull mixes banned

Answer 1

Yes, in certain places pit bulls are banned by the Breed Specific Legislation. The media portrays pit bulls as vicious monsters who attack humans. That is the reason some places ban them. This is a TOTAL LIE though! When the breed was originated, they were used for dogfighting. They were bred to be very strong. It's true that there have been many instances where pit bulls have attacked humans. The dogs that attack people are almost always the dogs used in dogfighting, where they have been shown cruelty by their owners and taught that their only job and only purpose is to fight to the death for survival. In behavioral tests, pit bulls pass 84.1% of the time. That is the 4th highest rate of all other 122 dog breeds! It is a higher percentage than Chihuahuas who score a 71%!! The total average for all dogs is 81.9%. Pit bulls are one of the most if not THE most loyal dogs you can have. One story of loyalty occurred in 2004 when a pit bull named Marley pulled a 6 year old girl from a burning house! In 2008 a stray pit bull from Charlotte, Florida chased away a man who was holding a woman and her daughter with a knife at their throats. Once the man had gone, the dog proved to be very friendly to everyone else. Here is the link to another AMZAZING story: http://thetruthaboutpitbulls.com/Weela.php It may sound bad that there are 2 deaths from (untrained unsocialized) pit bulls a year. We are leaving out the 2120000 pit bulls this does not apply to. I hope this changes SOMEONE's mind about the sweet loyal dogs called the pit bull. Other links:
