RVing w/ Pit Bulls

Dogs are a combination of nature (genetics) and nurture (the way they are raised.) Due to poor breeding practices, there are some nasty dogs around that all the training is not going to change them. But not all are like that. There are some very sweet ones too. ANd this applies to every breed. I think there's more "to do" about pit bulls because when they do attack, they are a big dog, with strong jaws and can do massive damage in an instant.

I had a friend who is a dog lover. She adopted a pit bull puppy from a rescue -- oh, so sweet. She did everything right. Training classes from the start, socializing... she put everything she had in to raising this dog right.

Dog turned on her. She was attacked several times, with minor injuries. Even would get attacked laying in her own bed. Finally it got serious enough that she had no choice but to euthanize. It was heartbreaking for her as she really loved that dog. I am just grateful that she woke up before she was injured any more severely ... or even something worse happening.
