Then if and ever the DDA is lifted then I believe for the breed to be able to develop and gain the public back only selective owners who really are aware of everything about the Pit Bull should be able to have them. Its time for a new way as the DDA is not working what so ever
I know that we should all choose a dog to suit our lifestyles.. eg it would be crazy to take on an active dog like a Springer etc if we do not enjoy the outdoors etc that they need... but it seems to me that so many people are saying that Pitbulls are no more likely to harm, or are no more dangerous... and then go on to say that only selective owners should have them??
I'm not against pitbulls by the way, but I do think that if we believe them to be more dangerous than other dogs, then we should admit that. I don't think there is anything wrong with openly admitting that these dogs need the right kind of owner otherwize they could be dangerous....
And I'm not having a go here, just trying to suss out yours and other people answer to the OP's question.....
Do you think Pitbulls are dangerous??

Good question, yes in the wrong hands they are a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off, the case of poor little Ellie Lawrenson, proves just that. I'll be the first to admit that as an owner of Bull breeds.

Like every Molosser breed they all need selective owner. The pitbull is strong willed, highly intelligent and need alot of exercise. I believe selective owners are needed for a collie, foxhound etc also.
