Pit Bulls Observation

Pit bulls are the most misunderstood dog breeds in the world. When people hear the word pit bull they automatically think of dogs fighting and attacking. When people say "pit bull" they're usually referring to a range of breeds and, often, a mixed-breed dog. (Lawrence, C Louisville Magazine Feb 2007) People think they are a very dangerous breed of dog. Because of this, some areas do not allow pit bulls and breeds like them. Pit bulls are the leading culprit of dog bites in America, but on the other hand, they are the gentlest dogs people will ever meet. The National Canine Temperament Testing Association

Today, the United States of America is hardly “United”. Divisions between race, religion and breed has left the country scrambling for answers. The answers themselves, are not always the right ones. Breed Specific Legislation are laws enacted in states and countries across the world that place bans and restrictions on certain breeds including Rottweilers, Boxers, and Pit Bulls. Several of these dogs are euthanized and ripped out of their homes if their owners do not fill out the right paperwork, with no reason other than their the dog's’ bloodline.These laws, are not only discriminatory against the breed, but built in fear of the unknown mind of the dogs themselves. Breed Specific Legislation should not be enacted because

Pit-Bulls are bad, is that right? People assume that dogs' breed influence their behavior and levels of aggression. They label dogs without knowing the basics regarding dogs behavior, psychology, nor training. Dogs are animals and need help in being adapted to the human world. When a baby is born, the mother teaches her newborn how to eat, how to speak and even as a society how to think. When a puppy is born, it is born to an animal world, full of instincts and "proper dog life". Sometimes we get upset when we see immigrants acting in a certain way. Our ignorance regarding their culture creates a huge gap between us, leading to stereotypes that might explain to our western society their actions. Dogs have their own language and culture.

In the State of Kentucky, The American Pit Bull Terrier is banned in the following cities: Alexandria, Augusta, Beaver Dam, Bracken County, Butler, Dayton, Eslmere, Falmouth, Fourt Thomas, Lewis County, Ludlow, Maysville, Pendleton County, Southgate, Walton, and Williamstown (DogsBite).

Have you ever owned a dog? Encountered a dog with aggressive behavior? Such as possibly being run after by a dog, consistent barking/growling, and or maybe being bitten by a dog. The answer may be a yes to at least first question. Dogs are great companions they are known as being a man’s best friend. Pit bulls are American Pit Bull Terrier, they have essentially been labeled the face of an “aggressive” dog problem. For this paper I have interviewed Adam Hill.

The book Pit Bulls for Dummies helped me to understand the breed of dog that Bella was. It also opened up my eyes on the certain requirements that she needed. The vet agreed to hold Bella another night so I could prepare her new home. I measured my fence and discovered that it was actually two inches shorter than what was recommended. So the next day I installed a privacy fence. I also installed a doggie door so she could come in and out as she needed. I installed a small pool for her to exercise, and some yard tools that she could play in. I called my friend and asked her if she would bring her dogs over and test run my back yard. The dogs had a ball, and the doggy door was put to use. My friend told me that Bella would love everything, and
