Its so weird being down here and seeing how different the dog culture is, especially with pit bulls. Heres a few things that are interesting..

theres no pound here for dogs to be kept or euthanized. Stray dogs remain stray and *most* thrive well that way. Its kind of survival of the fittest at its finest. Like nature prevents the lame dogs from breeding because theyre faced with the harsh stray world. If the dog isnt in great health or very smart it will get sick from being unvaccinated or hit by a car so only the strong survive to breed. These strays are friendly with all dogs and all people because they were reaised on the street. Its just kind of interesting.

Also here in Mexico you dont have to keep your dogs contained.. they can roam freely on the street as long as they have a collar. The dogs like this play with the strays and also become very dog and people friendly from such lifestyle.

However people here all manage to have the common sense to not let the bully breeds run the streets like the other dogs. Ive only ONCE seen a free roaming bully and its the stray pit mix that found himself a home in the downtown area away from other dogs. Theres TONS of bullies here and I see all of them safely locked behind peoples fences. I still walk Sam during the day because she hasnt turned on (although I carry a break stick in case she ever did or got into a fight) but most bully owners walk their bullies at night so as to avoid the strays coming over.

People here value the bully, unlike in the US, and I really like that. So many bullies get PTS up there for lack of homes but down here it just doesnt happen because those precious pit bull puppies are like diamonds and even if there was a stray pup, they get scooped up right away because a free pit is a NICE find. None are stray and none get PTS, its really great to see!

Anyhow theres some tidbits for anybody who cares to read lol. I just find it interesting to see the difference in the dog cultures!
