Did you know?

  • It's estimated that only one in every 600 pit bulls ends up in a loving home
  • In temperament tests, pit bulls consistantly score higher (ie., friendlier) than beagles, poodles, & cocker spaniels
  • The Netherlands recently repealed its 15-year, nationwide pit bull ban...because during that period, the number of dog bites didn't decrease! If that's not that proof breed bans don't work, what is?
  • Just a few decades back, pit bulls were the #1 family dog (ie., of Petey Little Rascals fame). The breed didn't change that quickly...society's perception of them did.
  • Get the facts!
