Rebelle Puppies - Jackie, Monkey & Red

Best Dogs in the World!

I have three Pit Bulls! Oh and I don't fight them.

Our family has more than one Pit Bull as a direct result of rampantly spread misinformation delivered through T.V. and newspapers. Visit just one of our several local shelters in Arizona and you will find around 50 Pit Bulls on any given day. We specifically chose Pit Bulls as pets to save them from people who want to use them as an illegal paycheck (fighting) or as a prop for their lifestyle (ghetto gangster?). These dogs are just like any other dog found at the pound, they are scared and looking for affection. The bad reputation Pit Bull's get is based on sleazy horrible people who keep them as a facade for the masculinity they lack and so desperately desire. The reason so many end up at the shelters is because of this particular type of person which is not a responsible pet owner and does not care about the animal, only what the animal can do for him. A person who takes an adorable Pit Bull puppy (those who have never seen one www.sfgov.org/site/acc_page.asp?id=37670 )
only a few weeks old and begins it's abusive training to make it a "killer" is the type of person to blame. I guarantee that under the same conditions and the sickening mistreatment those dogs go through you could make a poodle or a person just as harmful. If a person happens to be 6'3" and very muscular does that automatically mean he is someone to fear? What if all over the news were reports of 6'3" people who were committing crimes and all of a sudden people started linking it to the fact that it was because they are 6'3" ? Do you think they are built for aggression? That would be insanity and people would be running around in fear when they came across a tall person. I would have to explain to people who saw my 6'3" husband and say "oh it's OK he's very nice and does not commit crimes, I've trained him that way since we've been together. I actually rescued him from a very bad environment"
We have 3 Pit Bulls two of them we adopted at 4 months old, one had a horrible wound on her head that took months to heal and she was terrified of men. One of our boys was 2 yrs old when we adopted him he was covered in scratches and scars. We believe that someone tried to make him a fight dog. He does not fight ANYTHING, he actually thinks he's a Chihuahua and curls all 65 lbs up on any willing lap. I understand that there are some very aggressive dogs out there, I myself once had a Black Lab that almost killed our rat terrier. I did not train the dog to attack other dogs he just snapped from what I suppose was years of irritation from our little dog. I don't believe that I should be afraid of Labs now nor do I fear for my life if my neighbor happens to have one. Hey but what if people started fighting Labs? I imagine they would be the next doggies of doom. "Own more than one Lab? Well you may as well just play Russian Roulette with your whole family"!!!

People need to think before jumping on the FEAR and stupidity bandwagon. If you are interested here is an easy read for more information on these awesome animals.
