Pit bull owners, please help. How do you handle the negativity, what do you say or do, regarding the wrong assumptions about the breed?

I've just read your previous question and answers. I don't have and never have had Pit Bulls so can't help there but I have Rottweilers which also can make people a little wary. In every day life I just promote them as well mannered good temperamented dogs and stay calm and confident when around others.

ie.. a couple of days ago. My older girlie was having her regular acupuncture appointment and I had to walk down a small path and there was another dog coming the other way. I saw the people 'freeze' not knowing what to expect but I carried on walking with a loose lead as I knew my girl would just walk on past without even looking at the other dog which she did. I work with them at as many dog clubs as possible and my girl is in a little display team which can be seen at local events.

From your replies to answers on your other question I think you will totally succeed with this dog who sounds like she will become a different dog once away from the other two and I wish you the best of luck with her.

Picture of my girl in her display team... she looks fat there but I assure you she isn't. I keep all my dogs lean.

Pitt bulls are trash dogs. They are well proven to be aggressive, dangerous and will turn on people no matter what. Best to have it pt down
