Well, I grew up with German Shepherds (and a Shepherd/pit bull mix). My two favorite breeds have always been German Shepherds and Pit Bulls.

Then, I got married and we wanted to get a dog. Well, it turns out that my ex (yep, marriage didn't last long) was "scared" of German Shepherds AND pit bulls. They wanted a corgi. Personally, I'm not a fan of deformed looking dogs, so after much deliberation. We settled on a Border Collie. Then, we got a second Border Collie. Then, we got divorced and the dogs were split up.

I was just going to stick with one dog for awhile, but I saw a rescue listing for Sinead. She was about 6 hours from being put down at NYACC when I agreed to foster her. Well, let's just say that foster turned into an adoption within just a few days. And that is how I ended up with a pit bull.
