they are indeed the most misunderstood of the canine breed.

Shell is correct in what she says too. I personally know all of her pitbulls as two of them are QAWS rescues and they have been brought up well socialised within the family, one is 11 years old and was rescued by Shell when she lived in Egypt.

One of them is such a big baby, he runs the other way when another dog approaches... seen by me to when I joined Shell for a day out on the beach with my GSD mix and Husky - Bandit ran from my husky... its was so funny...

I have been watching a programme on Animal Planet called Pitbulls and Parolees... its an awesome series that gives alot of insite to Pitbulls.

I feel so bad for this family that have lost their little one due to the attack, but I have to agree, just reading the article, it shows these dogs were poorly socialised and reading between the lines, they were probably bred for fighting - these two combinations are deadly.
