1. Pit Bull. There are lots of sweet, gentle Pit Bulls in the world, and most Pit Bulls love people and are great with kids. No
matter how nice your Pit Bull may be, understand that, with the breed’s fierce reputation, lots of people won’t come near these dogs. Some communities have banned Pit Bulls and related breeds. Expect people to cross the street to avoid you if you have a Pit Bull, even if your dog is a wonderful, friendly, sweet soul.
2. Rottweiler. Like Pit Bulls, too often Rottweilers are given a bad rap, unfairly. These loyal, intelligent, trainable dogs can be fabulous pets for singles and families alike. But here’s a hint: Any breed that is the subject of a cult classic movie named Rottweiler: Dogs of Hell may lose you more friends than it wins you.
3. Yapping Little Dogs. Some people don’t like little dogs, period. No one likes yapping little dogs. These dogs can even irritate their owners.
4. Dogs With Elaborate Hairdos. People who show their Poodles learn to love all the fluff and pompons. Not the rest of the world. If your Poodle or other breed is trimmed like topiary, expect derisive laughter, not love.
5. Chinese Crested. These dogs are usually born naked, except for tufts of hair on their heads, feet and tails. No matter how smart, funny and just plain lovable these little guys are, even many of their owners admit they look a little bit like space aliens. It doesn’t help that Chinese Crested are the perennial winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, held annually in Petaluma, California. In fact, a Crested named Chi Chi is in the Guinness Book of World Records for winning this dubious title the most times—seven in all.

yeah, that picture of the "pit bull" was definitely no APBT, AST, or even a SBT. That was a bow-legged mess. If you're going to depict pit bull, get a real one.
I agree, the above pit bull is a very poor example of the breed. At least you got the temperament right on. My blue pit loves everybody. except squirrels. and some cats. ;-)
I agree that, while I appreciate and thank you for what you wrote about the breed, that picture is a horrible representation of the American Pit Bull Terrier breed. That dog is an American Bully at best, and isn't even a good representation of them. That poor dog is bow legged and his proportions are horrible. Please get a pic of a REAL American Pit Bull Terrier.
How dare you throw crap on the bully-pit? All you "pitbull"folks are for the matter only in to the game apbt's

Since APBT SBT AST more the APBT are a intact performance breed a large variation of looks and sizes existI knew a man who had lots of APBT’s and he had some that looked like the little guy in this picture and he also had ones that looked like the larger ones most people see as the breed look . To say that this is a bad example is to be in denial of the breeds true variations due to its true performance only characteristic that was the most important factor to breeders of a time ago
What an incredibly unintelligent "blurb" on the pit bull!I work with a pit bull rescue and happen to know many many pit bulls. I my self have fostered and adopted out 20 ( and counting )pitbulls in the last 3 years alone... and that only scratches the surface of the 73 pit bulls my rescue adopted out last year ALONE! All of our dogs are the greatest companion animals you could ever meet and all of our adoptors are very happy with their new aditions to their families. I also have worked at serveral very reputable dog behavior centers, where agressive, fearful, and crazy dogs come to be "boot capmed". Only about 10% of the dogs that came through those places for training were pit bulls. Most of those dogs were Jack russels, Labs, Retreivers, Spaniels(some of the craziest I have ever met), mutts, and a whole sleu of breeds that are supposedly "so cute and lovable". To stereo type a specific breed is wrong. All these bans on "bully breeds" lately are "bull" shit. For example, If I were a high end Restaurant owner and I didn't allow African Americans into my facility because "All black people like fried chicken. They wouldn't appreciate my 5 star food. Even if they would eat my food, they would still wish I had fried chicken and orange soda on my menu... they were born to eat that stuff." That's obviously a load of crap. Just because someone told you that stereo type, or You know a black person who only eats chicken and soda, or thats the only time youve ever seen a black person on the news, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE. A dog is a dog, is a dog, is a dog. some bite some dont, some kill cats some dont, some have the muscle power to rip flesh some only have enough muscle power to puncture flesh. The AMERICAN pit bull terrier was once known as the all american family pet (much like todays retreiver or lab) and because some idiots decided to use that incerdible muscle power and focus for fighting and money the breed has gone from desired companion to satan with four legs. THAT IS NOT FAIR OR RIGHT!
Don't Hate, Educate!
Cute dogs! I don't EVER want one of those pom pom poodle dos on me!!!
I agree, every pitbull I have ever come across has one goal...to please their master...living by myself with a pitbull as my only friend was the best two years of my life...
