Pit Bulls as Pets?

English 9

    Karisa Wubben

Pit terriers and American bulldogs are bred together to make the Pitbull. The Pit Terriers are dogs that are known for their “game”, while bulldogs are known for their strength and power. They were bred in England and then brought into the United States. Terriers are known for their aggression, and bulldogs are  known for being “guard dogs”.

These dogs are used for police work, search and rescue dogs, and so on. These dogs are meant for these jobs and only these jobs. People that work with these dogs are trained to work with these aggressive, violent dogs. People should not have these animals as pets. These dogs are bred to be violent. They should not be allowed to be around people or children.

The only dog that every really makes television is the pitbull and it’s usually not anything positive. It usually means that the dog has bitten someone. These dogs have sharp teeth and are very aggressive. This means that they can usually get out of a leash or collar. Owners may try chains, but the dog is very strong and could still find a way to get out of it, which may lead to the dog possibly attacking someone or something.

This dog is a great dog to be on the police squad or rescue team. It has a great nose and can find things easily, which is why  it should only be used for these things. This dog could spot someone that is trying to hide or get away from it so easily that it would be more than willing to attack.

These dogs are not worth the risk. I think it is okay for the dogs to be in the hands with a trainer, doing a job, but not as a pet. There have been more stories than there should be on T.V. of little children getting bit or chased down by a pitbull. A lot of the time it isn’t even children’s parents that own the dog. Usually kids that are just walking home from school or walking to a park get attacked. People shouldn’t even risk it. This dog is meant  for a job, it is  not a cuddly puppy. This dog will attack. Don’t risk the chance.
