Thanks for the information! So far all I see is that it's just one person doing what she thinks is right. Let's give them a few years and see if these, better trained dogs buck the trend.

That’s just one of *many*.

Didn’t know you wanted them all listed.

They’re big in search and rescue, service/support dogs, bomb/drug dogs, the cops are using them now and many are helping -truly- rehabilitate convicts.

Pits from the pound are given to the prisoners and they become totally responsible for the dog’s training and care.

The recidivism rate for the guys who are in the program is remarkably low.

Love them or hate them, there’s no way around the fact that “pits” are incredibly smart and easily trainable dogs.

[too bad the moron owners don’t take more advantage of that]
