Now there’s a name that invokes a gamut of emotions.\u00a0 When he was the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, he was both admired and idolized by people everywhere.\u00a0 When he was found guilty of dog fighting, he was despised by more.\u00a0 What a shame that a young man with such promise would succumb to such a savage thing as dog fighting.<\/p>\n
My brother raises Pit Bull Dogs.\u00a0 He is one of the top breeders around.\u00a0 He once told someone that was offering to pay him $1,500 for a puppy that let something about ‘fighting’ slip out that he would rather take that puppy out back and put a bullet in his head than sell him to someone that was going to fight him.\u00a0 The man left angrily with $1,500 cash in his hand spouting some rather unpleasant words as he left.\u00a0 About 2 hours later, someone else came with cash for the same puppy.\u00a0 My brother sold him to that person and was afraid that all the gentleman did was give the money to someone else to buy the puppy for him.\u00a0 Because of things like that, he’s getting out of breeding.<\/p>\n
These are not vicious dogs unless made to the that way.\u00a0 Bubba, his pet and best buddy, will more likely lick you to death than ever hurt anyone.\u00a0 China, she will bite if you provoke her but a child can take food out of her mouth and she’ll let them.\u00a0 China even nursed Shih-Tzu puppies while the Shih-Tzu mother was sick.\u00a0 That’s a real mean dog huh?\u00a0 Now my mothers Pit, Sheba, she will tear you apart if you get too close to my Mother and she doesn’t now you.\u00a0 That’s what her job is, to protect my 70 year old mother and she does a great job of it.<\/p>\n
Just don’t blame the breed for things like what Michael Vick did.\u00a0 Not all Pit Bulls are mean.\u00a0 Some are more like lick dogs and lap dogs.\u00a0 It’s all in the breeding and the way they are raised.\u00a0 They deserve respect as a breed, not fear necessarily.\u00a0 Even Michael Vick’s dogs are now gentle from what I understand.<\/p>\n
Oh, this is Bubba.\u00a0 He’s a blue Pit that weighs in at about 75 pounds.\u00a0 Ain’t he cute!!!!<\/p>\n
