WHITE PIT BULLS- WHY IS WHITE PIT BULLS SO MUCH BETTER

The pit bulls puppies are noticed in different colors and the pit bulls are named according to the color like white pit bulls, black pit bulls and red pit bulls. These pit bulls are much sought after as they are liked by many. Blue pit bulls and red pit bulls are very much in demand next to the white pit bulls.

Though the breed characteristic is one and the same, some people prefer dogs that have the coat color matching their taste. Among the white pit bull there are many different varieties. One such variety is moo mo0 pit bulls. These pit bulls have white coat color with black patters running around like a dairy cow. The most characteristic feature is the present black patch around the eye of the pit bull. People go crazy to buy these moo moo pit bulls. This variety is very freely available in the market. The reason could be nothing but too much breeding to meet out the demand.

There is negative propaganda going on in media about the pit bulls. They report that the pit bulls are very trouble some and are uncontrollable. The poor pit bulls do not deserve this bad name. In fact the pit bulls are lovely dogs. American temperament society performs test on the various breeds of dog to understand their temperament. Year after year, the pit bulls score good mark and are found to have better temperament than many other breeds. To make it very clear, the pit bull temperament is much better than the small poodle breed. This American society performs test in so many other breeds such as dachshund, Pomeranian, beagle, coolie etc. all these breeds have score lesser than pit bull when it comes to temperament.

One should understand very clearly that white pit bulls are just the same when the characters, aggressiveness, temperament etc are concerned. Only coat color is white nothing else. One should evaluate whether pit bull is the right choice for his taste or not and should go-ahead, that is all. The white color hardly matters except the appealing.

Those who can spend quality time with the dog only should go in for pit bulls. This is must because the pit bulls require more attention than many other breeds of dog. Besides the person should have sufficient place to house as the pit bulls are very playful. The person should have required money to provide sufficient training and exercise to the pit bull. If sufficient exercise is not provided, then pit bull will put on more weight which will result in unwanted health problems.

As these pit bulls are robust and aggressive in nature, proper training is also must. The dogs should be provided healthy food to meet out the requirement of the pit bulls active life style. The pit bulls should be provided home made as the processed foods are not suited to them. Pit bulls irrespective of the color coat require toys to play with. The white pit bull puppy should be purchased considering all these factors.

Getting answer for this is not going to be easy.

Rescue is one of the options that many will not be aware. Many beautiful pit bull puppies that have good behavior are abandoned every day for varied reasons. Such puppies are usually housed in shelter. Just walk in to few shelters that are near you to look for the puppies that suit your imagination.

The problem here, you will not know the right age of the puppy. You will not know the pedigree details. You will not know the vaccination history.

In most cases, the pit bull is abandoned because of its aggression. You should be prepared to take care of this aggressive puppy. Of course by proper training, the pit bull puppy can be made to behave properly.

Mere registration can not be considered as full proof certification because this registration does not require genetic testing.

The puppy should not have any skin problems. The puppy should not be seen scratching. Check the fur completely for any patches or flea infestation. The puppy should not have any discharges from the nose, ear or eye. There should not be any red tracks in the eye of the puppy. Possibly it is infected with deadly parvo virus. Not worth taking a risk.

Home made food is much better than the low cost commercial food. If one follows the suggestion discussed here, he will sure end up purchasing one good pit bull puppy.

Are Pit Bulls Killers By Je Dunn

Let me start off by stating that not all pit bulls are born dangerous. The real source of the danger lies with irresponsible ownership. These dogs are not human aggressive by nature. They are also one of the most abused breed of animals in this country.

Pit bulls are just about average for number of dog bites, and believe it or not the lovable Labrador Retriever gives the most bites per year.

Pits tend to be animal aggressive but despite what the media may have you believe they are not born killers. Human aggression is a completely separate trait from aggression toward other dogs or other animals. Dog aggression is a very common trait in pit bulls. In contrast human aggression is not. In both cases the reason is a result of breeding and training.

One of the most important things to consider before you buy a pit bull is the history of the breeder as well as how much time you have to care for the dog.

This is not a breed for couch potato’s; these dogs need a good amount of exercise. Training, love, and proper care are the keys to success with this very athletic breed.

Pit bulls are characterized by their short stocky but strong bodies. American bulldogs are larger and have a higher working drive where as pit bulls are smaller and are more animal aggressive. Still saying that all pit bulls are mean and dangerous is an uneducated generalization of this breed.

Pit bulls were originally bred for blood sports, like Bull and Badger bating and dog fighting. Although aggression towards other animals would be a desirable trait for these sports, the dog’s handlers needed to be able to reach in and separate their dogs to administer some first aid so they could continue to tear each other apart, if that makes any sense.

Because of the dog handlers need to interact with these powerful animals these fighters had to be bred to be human friendly. This is why a pit bull is a poor choice for a guard dog. They instinctively like people.

Blue pit bulls have become very much in demand and are currently the favorite color.

Most of these dogs are very intelligent, tenacious, and yes fearless. They have become the villain of choice today when it comes to viscous dog attacks, some of which are deserved.

What I have learned is that pit bulls are not born mean.

There are two things that make these dogs dangerous...

1. Ignorance

2. Bad owners.

There are currently a number of cities around the US that have or are looking to band pit bulls. But what will this accomplish?

Assuming for a moment that you ban them, the same problem owners that now raise pit bulls for all the wrong reasons will just choose other breeds: let’s say Rottweiler to abuse and train to be aggressive.

Responsible ownership and stricter breeding regulations is the only real way to address the issue of dangerous and aggressive dogs.
