Reasons to Have a Pit Bull

Everyone knows Pit Bulls aren't ordinary dogs — genetically, they're built with strength and energy well above average in the canine world. American Pit Bull Terriers are like little gladiators, play-fighting with each other from puppyhood.

Pit Bulls became widespread in Spain starting around the year 2000, and they're now one of the most common dogs in any city. They're classified as a "potentially dangerous dog" breed, which means owners are legally required to hold a special license and mandatory liability insurance.

The American Pit Bull Terrier is indeed a strong breed, but it's also a noble one with a huge heart. They can also be a bit stubborn, which is why training supervised by a professional trainer is highly recommended.

Let's be honest: poorly training a two-kilo dog isn't the same as poorly training a Pit Bull. Any badly trained dog can be dangerous, but a Pit Bull is a particularly strong, powerful breed. We should never forget that the dog is never to blame — the owner is.

Here are the top ten reasons why you should never, under any circumstances, have a Pit Bull as a life companion. Obviously, this is meant ironically.

1. THEIR AGGRESSION TOWARD OTHER DOGS IS UNDENIABLE, IT'LL CAUSE YOU TROUBLE

2. THEY'RE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AROUND SMALL CHILDREN, THEY MIGHT EAT THEM

3. THEY NEVER RESPECT OTHER ANIMALS, THEY ATTACK AND DEVOUR THEM

4. A PIT BULL NEVER PLAYS, NEVER WANTS CUDDLES, IT ONLY WANTS TO FIGHT AND FIGHT

5. THEIR PUPPIES ARE OUT FOR BLOOD, NEVER SLEEP, AND DESTROY EVERYTHING: THEY'RE FEARSOME

6. THEY'RE PROBABLY BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU, WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM WHEN DATING

7. THEY'LL STEAL ALL THE SPOTLIGHT AT CARNIVAL AND HALLOWEEN...

7. THEIR CRAZY FACE, PROVOCATIVE STARE, AND AGGRESSION WILL TERRIFY YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

8. THEY'RE INCAPABLE OF LOVE, THEY HAVE NO FEELINGS

9. THEY'RE EXTREMELY CRUEL AND HEARTLESS, THEY EAT THEIR OWN PUPS

10. THEY MAKE A BAD COMPANION, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LEAVE THEM LOOSE AT HOME, YOU'LL NEED A CAGE

As you've probably gathered, even though Pit Bulls are officially classified as a "potentially dangerous dog" breed, the truth is that it's not the dogs that are dangerous — it's the owners.

Any dog with proper training, or professional training when needed, can make a fantastic companion.

Any dog — dangerous breed or not — that's poorly trained, poorly raised, or poorly cared for can pose a serious danger to any person or animal. It doesn't take a "potentially dangerous" breed; it only takes a bad owner to make a bad dog.
