[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 347385, member: 6535"] For all the statistics and stories I’ve read, I have always just assumed that I should be leery of this dog breed more so than other dog breeds and I also should be leery of owners who specifically seek out this dog breed as their pet of choice. I had the misfortune of having a couple with three pit bulls move in to a house 3 houses up the block from me a few years ago. He assured me that they were great dogs. After three separate incidents, a half dozen visits from law enforcement, and one of the dogs being euthanized by order, it was convincing enough to me that my assumptions were correct and I will now forever have a prejudice against pit bulls and their owners. I do understand that there are good and bad dogs of every breed. I also understand there are good and bad dog owners and good and bad people in general. That being said, I can’t unsee what I have seen. When I see a pit bull or a person with a pit bull, my stereotypes do resurface…right or wrong.
