So what about these stories we hear of? These people who have had their pit bull for years one day kills their owner? That’s what people are afraid of!!!
My neighbors two pitbulls killed my Aussie while we were in our yard with her 5 week old puppies. I was outside with my two youngest children- out playing with the puppies & momma. It took 3 grown men to get them off my dog- but unfortunately it was far too late.
In the years that have passed, I’ve gone out of my way to stop and meet every friendly pitbull I can. I had to refuse to allow that nightmare to change how I saw a whole breed.
100% I’ve had my boy 13 years and he has changed a lot of ppls minds about the breed. He is absolutely human like and my whole world!
As a pit owner, she would follow me into a burning house. I have never felt so complete when I'm around my Mochi. Everything Lee has said fits the description to a "t." When I was engulfed in darkness, she was the beacon of light that saved me from fading away. If she only knew how much I love her. She is embedded in my soul and I thank God everyday for blessing me with this Ray of sunshine. All dogs most certainly do possess a soul and it's so beautiful.
I have a Stafford, I adore him, he's a rescue too. Although not from a shelter, was passed around from friend to friend whilst being baby sat cause his original owner moved into a house with a couple of Yorkies that kept attacking him. So after his third doggy sitter he was told to keep him. The man was supposed to have him for 2 weeks ended up having him 4 months but he worked 12 hours a day. I lost my Stafford cross lab of 16 years, coke was my child it destroyed me, I was so lost without her. When I visited my sister king as they called him then was outside. It was love at first sight, I took him home there and then renamed him Kane and have had 3 fantastic years with him.
lee- you are so cute-its hot here-put on a wife beater lol
you are an angel and i live right around the corner.
estacada forever
I live in Ontario and I would absolutely love to have a pittie but they are sadly illegal. I have met a few illegally here but they were very sweet and INCREDIBLY SOFT! They were as soft as a horses muzzle!
Ive seen many videos of beautiful and friendly and loving pitties and I would love to have one and even though I'm physically small I believe I could handle one.
My previous pup was a 180 pound German shepherd alaskan-malamute mix and for the first 3 years of his life (14 years) he had been aggressive to other dogs, leash reactive and a puller. After a lot of work, he became pretty much the perfect dog but because I had experienced his power I know how to walk with a powerful dog and keep control.
I once walked my cousin's mountain dog (who wasn't walked much because she was a farm dog) and they fully expected me to be dragged by her because she pulls on the leash.
The hardest dog I've ever walked was a German short-haired pointer (who looked a lot like a Viszla) but she loved to pull and she had the muscles of a draft horse. You wouldn't know it just looking at her casually walking around but on walks she'd literally hulk out and all her muscles would flex and suddenly you'd be like… this is a female dog version of Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
I never lost control of her though, I'd just have a very sore back and thighs after lol
Lee I think you're more of a Mastiff, bigger than a pit. I agree if you want a dog, puppy go to the animal shelter. Save a life.
I have met plenty pitties and all of them have been bundles of joy and so loving. That goes for Am Staffs and German Shepards as well. I was raised along boxers so I'm used to big dogs.
with all due respect….. duh
I grew up with pitbulls and there so amazing. There very human like but more loyal and loving.
My heart hurts for the dogs that have their ears cropped and tails cut off purely because some people think it looks better. I’ve heard stories of the animals suffering lifelong nerve damage due to this. Not saying Asher House would ever do this. Just want to comment in hopes of waking others up.
I have a pitty, she’s the sweetest goofball ever!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. As a rescurer, have had all kinds of breeds and loved them all! But, there is no breed like the Pit. GOATs !!
As a baby my mom said I would nap best outside. We had a pit bull terrier. His name was Patches and he would lay beside my stroller on the front porch while
I slept. He would bark and growl if someone stepped on the property. My mom would come out and say “Patches it’s ok” and he would lay down again beside me. People were amazed and said you have to be worried leaving her out there with “just a dog” but my mom said no. He would alert her if I woke as well. He was the best dog I ever had.
I have had pitbulls solely for almost 20 years and I will never ever get a different breed. So misunderstood but that prey drive is no joke though. Loyal is an understatement.
Goodbye Tony, I will see you someday, on the other side.
Pitbulls have THE worst reputations. They're amazing. I wish people didn't mistreat them so badly. I know they're are cities that don't allow people to own pitbulls. That's crap to me. It's ridiculous.
When a Pit Bull looks at you with tender eyes, loving eyes, expressive eyes, that is so absolutely beautiful! They are gorgeous animals.
I know…they are so human…but the best parts of humans. Dogs don’t have a heart chakra. Because they are ALL HEART ❤️
I have 2 pitties, they go everywhere in the car with me, I try to excersise them enough but I don’t I’m worn out from work but they both are rescued boy do I have stories to tell! I love them so much. And the younger one prefers kids, he has a blast!
There are NO bad dogs or breeds, just misunderstood or mistreated by Bad humans…
I volunteer for an animal rescue and I'm a huge proponent for pit bulls and other bully breeds. There is even a county near where I live that fully bans them. They are loving and loyal dogs. If I can change one person's mind about them, that is a win in my book.
Pit bulls are controversial because the media never reports on the dog bites and the severe injuries caused by other breeds. The one thing politicians and reporters have in common is that they’ll do anything to keep themselves relevant or get a step up. That’s why you only hear about pit bulls attacking people, only black peoples getting shot by law enforcement, and only women getting raped. The other problem pit bulls encounter is the type of people that decide to get one because they look badass or the reputation they have from dogfighting instead of wanting a loving, loyal furry family member. Toronto had a ban on pit bulls and of course the number of pittie bites went down to zero however, over a 10 year period with BSL enacted in Toronto, dog bite incidents increased 57% based on hospital records for serious dog bite-related injuries. By contrast, dog bite-related incidents in Calgary, which adopted comprehensive breed-neutral regulations in 1985, decreased 68%. Furthermore, the significant reduction of dog bite incidents in Calgary has continued for over 30 years despite large increases in both the human and dog populations in the city since 1985. Proof that it is the human at fault and not the dog even though the dogs are the ones paying the price.
I've known a few issues ones(but same # as any breeds) but SO many good ones. My boy is some retriever/lab/collie mix and his first few years was so scared and territorial he went for a few people but only near the house. He grew out of that, unless coyote comes by, but sitiation over breed SO often.
What is 'Jack' 🧡 for Asher was 'Daddy' to Caesar❤
I just adopted a 18 month old pit yesterday!!!🥰
I am glad you brought up getting training for the owners we have 2 rescue pitties and because they are powerful you need to know how to handle them. Ours are family and love our small dogs and children their personality is so unique, love a pit!!!
Lee, I love your videos highlighting different breeds. I wonder, could you do one about the ex-racing greyhound? Thousands retire from the track each year and here in the UK there are so many myths about them needing excessive exercise or being unable to make a good house pet or bring aggressive etc. The odd few, a mere handful, can be fear biters if they've had abusive training or beaten or scared. But my girls who were going to be euthanized for biting came here and lived with us for almost a decade, and neither one has ever bitten us. They did start out growling and baring teeth with air snaps, but it's easy. If a greyhound does that they're usually new and scared, unused to being a pet and it all goes away within weeks to months. However that is an exception and 99 times out of 100 greyhounds are really friendly, cuddly, lazy and love being on a sofa with you. I take in the difficult ones that don't normally go to rescue centres for adoption. If a family goes to a retired greyhound charity dogs have been vetted for behaviour, are pedigree, beautiful and easy to house train and you can go and walk them, borrow them, get used to them then make a choice…. One is never enough though LOL we have had 5 dogs do far… But anyway, Lee, have you ever adopted greyhounds?
Lee, we don’t own’ dogs. We give them a home by adopting them.
I absolutely adore pitties!!! I’ve been blessed twice in my life so far to share my life with two of the most beautiful, loving and loyal pit bulls 🥰 Colean and Kayleigh were the loves of my life and I miss them both so much💜💜
I got a senior pit/lab mix who was a rough case; had been in fights at a dog park and returned from her foster family – she'd been in the shelter a year when I got her, maybe 9 or 10 years old. She was supremely dog aggressive, and on occasion I could see how she could get so lost in her fight instinct that she could hurt a person without realizing it. (She never has, since I've had her). We've been working on her reactivity and we of course avoid dog parks – why ANYONE, much less. foster family. who spent 5 minutes around her would ever have taken her to a dog park is beyond me – or even other dogs walking, we turn right around and get out of threshold distance. After two years, I can usually talk her out of her aggression fog, and get her to at least pay attention to me long enough for the moment to pass, even if her hackles are still up and she's pulling on the leash. Every person who meets thinks she is the most incredible sweet mellow love bug, and she is….until she isn't, strictly aimed at dogs (and rabbits, she has a vendetta there too). This isn't because of her breed. She was clearly fought at some point, encouraged into this behavior, rewarded for it, and she had scars all over her face and legs, a torn ear, and time on death row to prove it. People let her down pretty badly. I'm hoping she decompresses enough to really relax someday before she dies, just so she knows it didn't have to be like this, and that fighting isn't the only way she can get love from humans.
Awesome video, I'm only a novice pittie owner(had Bandit for just over a year now), but I think you did an excellent job in describing them. One point you brought up and, the one I'd really stress to anyone wanting to adopt is you need to be committed to providing an outlet for their energy, ie walks/runs/biking/fetch/whatever.
My parents have a staffy. And like you know they also suffer from this stigma. I live in a city where pitty's and staffy's are consistently bred. And bred for fighting unfortunately. They are my preferred breed. I adore them. I work at a salon and when have pet parents come in with their pitty's I try to let them know that I feel extremely comfortable with their dogs breed. I feel like I've eased alot of minds with this. Not to mention the staffy my parents have was me, my sister and my moms first dogs.
another wonderful posting
I love my adopted from Tennessee girl. She is awesome, she runs into me all the time, She is a White Shark, loving, misunderstood, abused by people…❤
Straight up , that's what I convey to my boyfriend when my pitty smashes his foot or smacks him with his tail AND tries to cover him in kisses when he's trying to put on his shoes for work hahaha my big ol' galloot of a baby pitty has no clue how "invasive " he can be hahaha his tail is a weapon and he doesn't even know it ! Or when I'm laying in bed and he jumps up and SMACKS me and my little pup in the face with his whip of a tail 😅 all he knows is , he wants to be near us ….. 😇🥰🤗🤭 And to top it all off , I had to teach my baby to sit with treats and it only took a few words for my bf to get him to sit hahaha drives me batty 🤭 let's hope the stigma with pitt bulls or even bulldogs end soon …. it literally all depends on how they're raised , and not even then, sometimes the most abused pitts/bulldogs can be gentle and just want love
Stella, Jack & Sammy, I loved them so much. What I respect about Lee so much is that he really understands dogs, and lets them be dogs. He may love them as his "children" but he never forgets that they are DOGS and that must be acknowledged and respected.
As an insurance underwriter for a Time you would not believe how many graphic pictures I have seen of pit bulls who have killed or attacked children and adults and left them scarred for life. Good luck I think they should all be put to sleep
Well said
I rescued a pit that was running down a road where dogs are dumped. My guess is she was around 5 months or so. I only had her for 3 days till I found her a perfect family. I still miss that girl to this day and it’s been a year since I found her. She was so loving. Unfortunately I have a 9 year old Labradoodle that is as mean as shit and wants to kill all other animals and I couldn’t keep this sweet pit. The woman that adopted her loves her so much and I’m so happy for her.
I am so happy to see this video You are so correct. We rescued a pitbull from a no kill shelter in Sacramento. We knew him already for about 5 years helping it's owner. I never dreamed he would be ours. Such a loving dog, personality talks like a chatty women ha ha, but a LOVE for sure. He even saved me when I thought I lost my 16 year old chihuahua (now a lil deaf/cataracts) so my Pit, Nemesis (his birth name) knew I was frantically looking for my baby Guero, so he went and found him somewhere in the house and walked him over to me. What a love, I was so touched. Love him and I hope we can rescue others some day. Thank you Lee for your unconditional heart!
I just started fostering a pitbull and she is the sweetest. I can attest to that. However, I have tried to find articles that say golden retrievers bite more or find an article that dismantles how pit bulls arent an aggressive breed and they are hard to find. Anyone have any resources? Thank you
I’ve had the deepest connection with the Pitties they are loving sensitive souls who just reach out and love. Just love the bully breeds
