LMMFAO! i agree on the rescue thing man. i know im gonna piss some folks off, but seriously, everyone bitches about overpopulation being such a problem. PUT SHELTER DOGS DOWN. ive heard to many bad results from em, and i believe they do not end up in the right hands anyway. seems plenty of folks put on a "nice guy" face, talks the talk, and walks home with a dog they were to cheap to buy from a reputable breeder in the first place. now i know there are plenty of responsible folks ON HERE that rescue, but id bet the amount that arent "out there" is astonishing. i know i sound cold, but i have the breeds best interest in mind, and like the old saying goes, ya gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Walk down bite case row at AC and 99.9% of the time it's not a dog from a shelter sitting in that cage. It's the product of some BYB that the people have owned since it was a pup or some stray.

I agree we need to be more specific when we are referring to APBTs.

Shelters/rescues need to stop trying to place HA dogs. I have advocated for the euthanasia of certain HA dogs that were later placed - the politics and PR need to be taken OUT of animal control. Animals shouldn't be allowed to be adopted out until they pass behavioral exams.

The public needs to be educated on where to get a dog from (BYB are a problem for all breeds) AND what to expect from an APBT. I think this begins in schools. It should continue with veterinarians advising customers. I wish more APBT owners would take their dogs to schools and educate on how to properly approach dogs, where you should go to get a dog and educate on breed characteristics (focusing on the 3 mentioned earlier).
