They totally are, no matter how big and tough and strong they are 😍. Biggest cuddle bugs in the world too!

You have a mutt

What an animal! Lol!

Shelter dogs/animals are special.. show them love and you’ll reap great rewards - good luck on your journey!

I lost my Pitbull many Years ago😢i can say this Kind of Friend you can find once in your Lifetime 😔

A dog walks into a shelter. Shelter staff see the dog’s blocky head and muscular body and say: That’s a Pit Bull. Except that designation is often wrong, according to a new study published in The Veterinary Journal. As many as a third of 120 dogs who were part of this study were called Pit Bulls, even though DNA tests showed they weren’t anything of the sort. And some 20 percent of the dogs found themselves in the opposite situation - not identified as pits by shelter staff, while DNA tests showed them to belong to this cohort of blocky-headed dogs who are adorable, but face terrible discrimination.

SAME! 💯👍

That's wonderful to hear!

I love videos with Pitties when they have a fit the faces are just so adorable my Brother has two rescue Pitts they are so loving and goofy I love them 💗 ❤️ and they have lots of love and a wonderful home and they are socialized so sweet 😋

Both of mine did the happy hops too 😍

Dogs are awsome 😍 ♥️ I love animals more then alot of people ❤️

Pitties are the sweetest, most loyal puppers, too bad folks have been bad owners. The pitties just wanna please and be their happy goofy selves.

I agree. I have 2 pit mixes (1 more true/pure pit than the other), and I rescue stray dogs (well over 2/3 of them pits). I've grown to love the breed. I started not having any real opinion, but after contact with so many, I absolutely adore them. As an advocate I WILL say there's a couple drawbacks to their breed. 1. Hyperactive and willful. You need to be a strong leader to make them behave appropriately. Bullies are different- more chill, but true APBTs and Staffordshires have more terrier. 2. Prone to dog aggression. APBTs are more likely to attack/start fight with other dogs with less provoking. Like it or not, that was their breeding (and unfortunately still is sometimes). Once again, they need strong leadership and ongoing socialization with fellow dogs. Pitbulls are wonderful dogs- loving, loyal, tender to small animals they're socialized with (mine are wonderful with my cats). I want a better future for the breed.

I agree , but not everyone raises them right . I'm afraid of lock jaw ! A ,man in town had like 5 , he was killed in his yard because he got in their fight . I won't own one , not for me . I've seen and met plenty that are nice . I won't own any dog stronger than me .

@@melindasmith3713 I agree that no one should have a pitbull (or any large dog for that matter) if they don't feel comfortable disciplining or controlling them. A dog will never have the reasoning beyond a 3 year old child. When controlling a dog, you have to be direct, firm, and use only one or two words at a time. And yes, you do need to sometimes have the strength to hold it back if it reacts to other dogs. There's quite a few people out there that definitely should not have large or strong-willed dogs. Unfortunately, the pitbull/bully breeds attract terrible owners half of the time. That's the curse of the pitbull. Many of the owners.

@@melindasmith3713 The truth is no dog breed, including the Pitbull, has the ability to lock its jaws together, according to Dr. Lehr Brisbin, a Ph.D. from the University of Georgia. Rather, the lock jaw belief that’s associated with Pitbulls is a myth that stemmed from their origins as bull-baiting dogs that needed to bite and latch onto bulls for sport.

I ❤ American Bulldogs! My one pit mix is APBT/American Bulldog. They look way more natural and healthy than the British Bulldog. (Shame on people who breed their dogs to have flat faces and prone to obesity- the British Bulldog shouldn't exist. They have breathing, mobility, and arthritis issues)

@@sharonpopolow6874 yes my sis n law has an English bless his stubby little heart he’s 11 and that’s almost unheard of. Anytime she had a so called behavioral issue she’d call me or my wife. It always turned out to be operator error not poor Bruno’s fault. They take time and commitment but are so worth it. We have 3 dogs currently, all rescues. 2 Akita/Bully mixes and an AB and wouldn’t take a million dollars for any of them. I lost my 120 lb all black/brindle AB in 21’ I’ll always miss my Jager boy. I hope you and your pups are well and safe.

Exactly, my 100lb American Bulldog hides when it storms or fireworks are going off. He’s a rescue so he spent quite a few days on a chain in the storms and what have you. Poor kid, he now sleeps with Mommy on the bed with our other two Akita Bully mixes. They rarely bark and are very smart, I wouldn’t take a million $ for them lol.

@@deborahchesser7375 You sound like Good people 🤗 Pet companions should be treated like family, because of all the love and joy and hard work they bring us, but they are well worth it ♥️

Bully breeds are the biggest babies! Total Velcro dogs…which makes them sooo lovable. I like all dogs but will always have a pittie by my side.

can confirm goofiest and sweetest.....absolutely hilarious breed

I've honestly never met an aggressive pitbull even ones that have been chained up their entire life

No kidding? Really? Plz tell us more!! And this from a person who has never had one! Probably got that from Cnn!!😂😂😂

Our insurance agents met our Put Bull....and fell in love.

​@@tombrzozowski173I rescued two from fighting situation both lived together for 12 years never a fight between the two of them.

Absolutely! Like children, providing attention, love, and a nurturing environment is crucial for the well-being and development of any pet, including pitbulls.

I have a similar experience with my own dog. He's always so happy and playful, and he loves to meet new people. It's amazing how much joy dogs can bring into our lives.

Til they aren't.

It's the same with us men. The biggest are usually the nicest. It's those little ones with a Napolean complex that you have to keep at arms length.

YES! 🥰

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pitbull.

Absolutely!

Last dying words

Congrats. It's a little bit of work but it's totally worth it.

very true. ive heard so many people say the breed is dangerous. yet if you look up the registry of every death by dog attack, youll find nothing significant compared to other breeds before the mid 80's. it wasnt until evil morons decided to start fighting them did the issues start up. pits were the most abused and abandoned dogs during those years. of course they were hurting people, people were hurting them. Raised in a loving home they make amazing, loyal and loving pets. the most empathetic breed there is to humans.

Well said! I agree with you 110%. Any dog, any breed, any size, can be made to be mean! Period!!!

Correct.

Having added "Correct" in the replies, I wanted to add that the common denominator as to why a dog is aggressive is human. Puppies are not born aggressive or dangerous. They're made that way. Now, what do you think the outcome would be if humans were euthanised, etc, as this breed is. It'll make some of us (predominately the idiots) stop and think, wouldn't it?
