Pit bull....

dogs have been breed for specific reasons and their instincts are thus .

and all dogs are protective of their territories. makes a big difference if a dog has an en closed yard or runs loose, or gets away from the owner in town?

how we raise and treat them has a big bearing on their behavior. and each dog has his own personality just like us people.

another thing I have noticed about every dog I have h ad. more than a few different breeds. they all seem to have some sort of problem being around small children. i'm referring to first time meetings, not after days or months. I've seen everyone be a little nippy with them. not sure what it is? the way the small child moves, reacts, so close to the ground? I always wondered.
