I recently discovered this and thought I might share. An advertisement by Verison Wireless portraying the American Pit Bull Terrier in such a negative fashion, two vicious dogs with cropped ears and heavy chains, which only contributes to their already terrible reputation and unfortunate attractive image to those in need of an ego boost.

    It's good to know that she raised her Pittie well and you're encouraged enough to get one. Good owners make good dogs. ;)

    & Very well said. Since you have added our club to your watch, would you also like to become a member? :)

    Ah, Ohio is the very worst place to live if you have a Pit Bull or any breed that slightly resembles it. Now the entire state is in danger due to a proposal for a statewide ban. For the sake of your dog, it's a good thing you moved!

    I live in Ohio, terrible, terrible laws regarding pit bulls! My local pound deems all pit bulls as un-adoptable and gases them after quarantine. It's very upsetting.

    Pit bulls are not the only dogs that are discriminated against, there are dozens of other breeds as well. You don't have to have pictures in your gallery to be apart of the club. But I understand. ;)

    My girlfriend has a Pit, and the dog is an absolute sweetheart, probably the sweetest dog I've ever met, i love her to death! She's actually the reason behind why I'll soon be getting a pit bull of my own. :3

    I just wish people would get to know the breed before jumping to conclusions and saying they're a horrible breed of dog that's born dangerous. NO dog is born dangerous, it's how they're raised.

    We have a Pit, and a Jack russel and once lived in E. Cleveland because of the laws we moved to S. Euclid but we eventually gave up on Ohio and moved to Virginia. Most people who met them said the jack russel was more dangerous XD

    Hi, I wouldn't mind joining the group but I think it's not necessary because I don't have any pit bull pictures. And I keep watching the club regularly even if I'm not a member ;)

    Well thank you very much. I don't have a pit bull either. No need to have a discriminated breed to oppose BSL! And keep in mind that pit bulls aren't the only targeted dogs. ;)

    Would you like to join our group?

    No, not a stupid question at all. BSL is Breed-Specific Legislation. The website that ~Xannerz provided is very informative on BSL.

    BSL is breed-specific legislation, that restricts or even bans certain dogs based on breed and appearance, such as "pit bulls", Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers and German Shepherd Dogs, due to irresponsible pet-owners and poor breeding.

    just a little comment to say thankyou for setting this club up, i've just come across it and spent a fair while looking over the targeted breed list (i've been trying to find a well organised one like that for ages), most of the breeds i knew about already, but i was really shocked to find the Great Dane on the list in the US. I've known a fair few but never seen a hint of aggression or questionable temperament :/ and the wolfhound and deerhound too. All such sweet dogs in my experience. Hope the UK's list doesn't grow too soon :3

    I own an Australian Shepherd puppy who is about 7 months. He is really friendly and when I take him on walks, he gets excited when he sees other people passing by and so he tends to pull toward them. When people see that I shorten the leash so that he won't jump on them, they misinterpret it and think that my puppy is DANGEROUS. Its really quite sad because I know dogs (Cane Corsos) that are 2 or 3 times bigger than him. If they are afraid of a fluffy puppy, imagine how they react to even bigger dogs.
    One thing I've noticed is that parents are teaching their children to be afraid of every dog that isn't small. I remember when I was younger, I would go up to just about every dog I saw and ask the owner if I could pet it. Now kids are scared just being in the same area as one.

    I used to have 2 dobermanns: best dogs you could ever have, most loyal dogs you could ever dream of, better than the german shepherds that I have now.
