Pit Bulls: What's the appeal?

It's okay, she won't hold it against you.

pitbulls have kind eyes

Not even 9am, and I'm already productive! Found this shot before breakfast:

I defend pits right to exist and be lovely, lovely pets, but personally I find their slitted eyes slightly too evil and repellent, particularly when that part of the face is white and the eyes are all albino-y and red-rimmed. :( Their eyes scare me more than their daaaaaangerous reputation.

what about labs & bassets? Labs can have the same slitted eye look, and bassets can have the red albino eye thing?

Nah, it's a head-shape thing: labs eyes are rounder and not set as far back to the sides. And the red eyes I just dislike across the board, but they occurred to me re pits b/c I met one a few weeks ago with that characteristic -- she was awesome and seemed like a great dog but she came charging at me done the hallway at some point and her eyes made me think of a creature out of hell. Oh well! No matter.

like this?

Yes!!! Ahahaha see in that photo I am like AWWWW DISGRUNTLED EASTER DOGGY, SO CUET but in person in a narrow hallway with a strange dog that someone else (retarded) had gotten all riled up unnecessarily, I was a bit "UH".

That shot with the purple nerf is magnificent.

Time to show off the pit basset again! HAPPY WIDDLE GRADUATE FROM DA HAPPY WIDDLE UNIVERSITY OF HAPPIOLOGY:

I was at one of my favorite pubs Saturday night (The Draught House, formerly The Draught Horse) where dogs are welcome to frolic in the parking lot, which is where most of the drinking happens anyway since there are picnic tables and not much room inside plus the indoor smoking ban and ANYWAY.

Yes, there are always several dogs enjoying a night out with their owners there, and pits are often seen as well. Last night, though, there was a sweet happy friendly pit INSIDE the bar. Standing in line for beer, and flirting with the customers by 'standing' on them and begging for pats, scratches, cheddar goldfish, pints of beer and basically anything she could get.

Any ilxor dog lovers who make it to Austin are cordially invited to FAP there, natch.

AMARILLO -- A miniature horse given to a boy with brain cancer by the Make-A-Wish Foundation was killed by a pair of pit bulls who were found roaming in his yard, authorities said.
The 31-inch tall horse, Anniversary, was donated by the foundation to 3-year-old Christian Vasquez in late August.
Christian, who was diagnosed in January with a malignant form of brain cancer, received a pull cart, a blanket, a halter and a bridle set from the foundation on Saturday, said Jelaine Workman, executive director for the foundation's Amarillo chapter.

Two days later, Anniversary was found dead on his property in Pampa by Christian's father, Raul Vasquez.
The father was nearly attacked by the dogs but managed to climb a tree and call 911 on his cell phone.
One of the dogs was captured by authorities and remains in custody at the Pampa animal pound, while the other escaped and remained on the loose, Gray County Sheriff Don Copeland said.
"I was scared to death," said Raul Vasquez, 41. "They killed Anniversary, and I thought they would kill me too."

It was unclear how the dogs entered the property, which is surrounded by a 4 1/2-foot-high fence.
Workman said the foundation won't be able to supply a second horse but was getting calls from residents who wanted to donate money for a new one.
Anniversary cost $1,300, and the foundation included free feed, training and veterinary care for a year in its gift.
"This horse was beautiful," Workman said. "It just makes me angry that people allow their dogs to run on the loose."

I still fucking hate these dogs.

Cesar Millan done changed my opinion that some dogs are just inherently bad. Cesar is a dude.

3rd one from left is terrifying

his spotted pink nose will haunt your dreams

i'm sorry. the big fucking one looks like the devil.

You're not sorry.

Damned ear clippers! If the ears flopped like they're s'posedta, she (I'm guessing the big one is mom to the others) would be a lot less scary-looking.

i walked such a cute puppy (well, 11 months old) last night at the shelter. very vivacious, sweet personality. too skinny, but still insanely strong. i hope she finds a nice, firm, patient owner.

I want the one second from the right.

That white one looks like it'll grow up to be the spitting image of my brother's old dog, Brewster -- one of the sweetest dogs ever to walk the earth. Too bad he turned out to be a car-chaser on a road with a 55 mph speed limit -- RIP.

My girlfriend has a 6 month old pit puppy, he's the greatest. Nicest dog and wouldn't hurt a flea.

setpepin?

A happy ending, after all.

I still don't understand the appeal.

That's because you are an idiot.

Seriously they are dogs just like any other smart working dog. Just because they have the misfortune of having a lot of asshole owners doesn't mean they are "ugly" or "ill-tempered" or "dangerous". A good number of the sweetest and coolest dogs I've met have been pits.
