Puppy Thieves

I bet you thought I was giong to write about people stealing puppies.... Nope...

Puppy Thieves are the puppies who are the thieves. They have this bad habit of stealing and running, or stealing and destroying the forbidden items that you would rather them not have or touch.

How do you correct the behavior?

The Illusive APBT

"Pit bulls" have been a part of American history for a long time, but not for what you may be thinking... Attack people, but as celebrities or the pet of a celebrity. Yes, the American Pit Bull Terrier, itself, was once a widely known figure on television and on movie screens. Famous APBT's covered advertisements, magazines, television shows, music videos, and movies. Famous movies to include The Little Rascals. APBTs have been highly decorated military dogs, search and rescue, and pet therapy dogs.

And, all this coming from a dog breed with dog fighting in its history. But, if you actually looking into the ancestry of the "pit bull" it is a classification of dog that was bred to for game and dog aggression. Human aggression was highly frowned upon. Dogs that had any sign of human aggression were not allowed to fight or breed.



Because of their history of pit fighting, many American pit bull terriers are found dead, dying, and injured daily from the horrors of dog fighting. Most of these dogs are euthanized, but it is in high debate of rehabilitating these fighting dogs because SOME of them can actually be saved in order to live a happy life with a loving family.

Unfortunately, Breed Specific Legislation has gotton ahold of the "pit bull" and has ruined their reputation. People now forget about the beloved Petey, from The Little Rascals, and see a Cujo from Steven King's novel. BSL has been implented in many counties across America. Due to dog fighting, media protrayed "pit bull" attacks, and other incidents involving the American Pit Bull Terrier and its other pit dog counterparts, now a part of established breeds, these dogs must suffer.

Dog Fighting

Dog Fighting is a large part of the American pit bull's history and ancestry. If you are interested in caring for an APBT or if you currently care for one, it may be best to fully understand the history behind the great breed.

Knowing the breed's history and background can help you fully understand your dog and why he does the things he does.

Look at the Australian Shepherd. Sometimes they're found nipping the feet of small children and running around them as to herd them. Why? Because it's what their ancestors did... Well, not children but sheep and other wildlife.

I'm one of the biggest American pit bull advocates. I would not by any means condone the acts of dog fighting traditional or not. I do not condone breeding for game. I do not condone the mistreatment of dogs. And, I do not condone egos in combination with dogs.
