tracy - I had to do the same thing. I an an Ohioan (Toledo) living in Mississippi married to a man from Tennessee. (tell me THAT wasn't a shot of crappy karma! lol.)

When we first got our dogs, he insisted they would not fight if we "raised them right." I lmao, but I gave it a try as I have seen pitties live peacefully. Well, needless to say, when the dogs turned 2 & our sweet loving babies who had been raised together & socialized extensively with other dogs tried killing one another, he was convinced otherwise, esp. after he got the glorious chore of burial duties.

As for sticks, he too was against them until he saw every single old wives' tale about breaking up fighting dogs fail & he got tired of being called home from work to break up the dogs. He is now a strong believer that ALL pit bulls can fight & that breaks sticks are an awesome (& responsible) thing to have!

Your man (like mine) being the all knowing & all powerful southern "man" he may not even look at the Cornell study, but you go girl & do your thing. It's what we Yankee girls have to do b/c I'm found some southern men are as they say down here "useless as tits on a boar hog."
