I am so glad Kiah is doing well. The problem with this breed has been that they are very muscular and strong, with powerful jaws. So over the years were the dog of choice for those with sinister or egotistical motives. Add the dog's natural strength to bad breeding methods and usually brutal training methods, and you have yourself a tailor-made 'bad dog'.
But I have known tiny terriers with aggression issues, and their bites hurt! True, they are less likely to be life-threatening to many people, except very young children. But ANY breed of dog can be dangerous when bred for aggression, and badly handled and out of control.
We don't have the American Pit Bull in Britain, but I have seen many videos about the work of Villalobos Pit Bull Rescue in New Orleans, and from what I have seen, it seems obvious to me that Pit Bulls just have a 'bad rap" and the reality of this breed is different.
I wish Kiah all the best for her career helping to combat crime!
