I have a pit bull, and a pit bull / hound mix. While many RV parks have breed restrictions, or weight restrictions, I have always been able to find a place to stay.
Forest service campgrounds, state parks, and BLM sites are all wide open to any breeds. With my dogs, I camp, hike, go to beaches, hang out at lakes, go fishing... They don't stop me from doing anything.
There's some real responsibility that comes along with pitbulls. 1) you have to know what areas have Breed Specific Laws, and avoid them. 2) I know people are nervous about my dogs, so they are never off leash, never out of control. If there is a fenced play area, I will let my 2 run and play with each other, but not with other dogs. (Mine are both very friendly and live with cats, I'm just not willing to chance other dogs starting fights.)
Having said all of that, I love pitties and wouldn't own any other breed. They are smart, loyal, calm, and I'm a complete sucker for their blocky heads and bodies. I even volunteer for a bully breed specific rescue.
I agree with you 100 percent. We got ours from a rescue. She was shelter abandoned by a lady that didn't realize that she would get as big as she did. 50 lbs at 7 months.
The blocky heads and bodies are so cute.
I also find that ours typically don't get a second look because her ears and tail are not cropped.
The only thing we are trying to deal with is that ours is only 8 months old and she doesn't mind so well right now. We are signing up for an obedience class really soon.
