Pit Bull Factoids

Here's a list of some famous Pit Bull :

Stubby - War Hero in WWII. Saved lives of soldiers in the trenches.
 
Petey - the faithful pal from our gang.
 
Popsicle - puppy used as a bait dog and left to die in a freezer. He later became the nation's leading Drug K-9!

Here's a list of some Pit Bull Myths:

Pit Bulls can "lock their jaws to keep you from getting them to turn loose." - WRONG! There is nothing about their jaws that is any different from a beagle's.
 
Pit Bull's can never live with another dog. - WRONG! Pits that are socialized and taught from an early age can usually live with other dogs under owners that can be the pack leader for their group.
 
Pit Bulls reach a certain age and just turn on their owners! - WRONG! Well bred, well socialized and stable Pits are NEVER human aggressive, no matter what their age.
