The media coverage on pit bulls is incredibly unfair. It’s pushed lawmakers to pass statutes that unjustly target the breed and their owners. Specific ordinances banning the breed from being owned outright due to unsubstantiated claims about the breed’s violent tendencies have been enacted due to situations that are largely misunderstood. In reality, pit bulls are as gentle a breed of dog as they come. The breed is particularly caring, affection, and extremely intelligent. The breed has a particularly good memory, and perhaps its only fault is that it can tend to become a bit protective of his owner, but this is very easy to manage and control.
