they only have a bad name because of the owners... if they have a good owner they are good dogs

Thanks for helping me

I ex had a blue pitbull puppy.

One of the cutest puppies I've ever seen. Sometimes nipped at you but that's just what puppies do.

Pitbulls like German Shepherds are natural aggressive dogs. If you are willing to spend the time and money to train them, they can be great dogs. If you want one just as a house pet with no training past sit, you MIGHT have issues. I'm not saying 100% you will have issues, but I will say it is more likely for that dog to have more issues than say a yellow lab or something.

I don't think people actually understand what a lot of these breeds are. German Shepherds and pit bulls are not natural breeds. They are "created" breeds if you will by cross breeding aggressive dogs with strong dogs for the sole purpose of fighting. A pit bull was created with the use of a bull dog and a terrier since the bulldog had the strength and the terrier has agility.

With that said, no, it's not a stereotype but rather a fact. These dogs were bread to be fighters. Does that mean they can't be good dogs? Absolutely not, but it all depends in the time and training. I think a German Shepherd is a lot better dog, but that's also why I own two of them and not a pit bull lol.

My family owned a pitbull for 17 years and she was chill as hell. super nice and friendly to everyone it just really depends how they are raised. #doggo

Just got to raise the pit bull right you cant be treating the puppy mean when its little cause it can grow to be huge and mean but i have a blue nose pit bull.

Anything is cute as a pup lol. Then you realize they're secretly little monsters that want to chew on everything.
