10 Signs You May Not Be Ready for a Pit Bull
10 Signs You May Not Be Ready for a Pit Bull posted by Pit Bulls Against Misinformation @ pitbulltruth.org
You think dog aggression (aggression towards other dogs) is a result of mistreatment or special training designed to âmakeâ a dog aggressive.
You often repeat âonly 1 in 600 Pit Bulls will make it out of the shelter ALIVE!â but are not able to produce any evidence to back that number.
You assume that someone is an irresponsible owner simply because they have an intact dog.
You believe the ONLY way to keep a dog is loose in the house, snoozing on the couch with a Chihuahua, Bichon, or 3 week old human baby nestled snugly under its neck and o-m-g-all-the-cute-vids-you-can-post-on-youtube-showing-how-vicious-your-little-dog-is-to-your-pibble.
If a person of color wearing saggy pants walks by with a Pit Bull wearing a spiked collar, you whip out your phone and report them for dog fighting.
The mere mention of weight pull sends you into a tizzy of rage over âabusedâ dogs.
You firmly believe that raw feeding leads to mauling humans.
âItâs all in how you raise themâ is used so often by you, itâs on your clipboard.
You think dog shows are nothing more than a meeting place for people to arrange dog fights.
Your knowledge of the APBT comes mainly from reality tv shows.

A lot of people try and lump Bulldogs and Bull terriers together when they talk about âharmful skull mutationsâ or âthe extremes of pure-breedingâ or other such loaded phrases.
The thing is, this is largely unfounded.
Keep reading
okay, while I agree that Bull Terriers do not have the same amount of problems as Bulldogs, their skulls are ENTIRELY a perfect example of extreme-breeding.Â
Because you have the skulls shown wrong
itâs like this - and you can tell because you can match up the back of the wolf skull with the Bull Terrier skull perfectly - just like you can match the back of the Bulldog skull with the wolf skull. Bull Terrier skulls have EXTREME bending to produce their huge roman noses. Their skulls are in no way shaped naturally, and the extreme bending may cause issues it the future. So far, thankfully, the snout has not been shortened but we canât say Bull Terrierâs donât have modified skulls
So itâs not what youâve shown, but more like this:
The top of the eye socket should be parallel to the top of the skull in canines. So should the bottom of the eye socket.Â
Now, itâs true that so far Bull Terriers do not seem to show any illness or health detriments due to their extreme skull manipulation. However, you cannot say that itâs merely a dog with no stop - these are dogs where the snout has been manipulated to bend at an unnatural angle.
I honestly would love to see far less of a slope and a more natural nose position, harkening back to the beginnings of the breed were there were less pronounced snouts but far less muzzle manipulation.Â
Hi! Thank you for adding the tilt to my pictures. It actually shows the skulls much better. What program do you use? I wish I could make gifs like that. Though, I am a bit insulted that you assume that I do not know which way a Bull terrier skull sits, seeing as how I have been intensely studying and working with them upwards of 5 or so years.Â
Now, I want to clarify some things and ask for some clarification in turn.
1)Â âTheir skulls are ENTIRELY a perfect example of extreme-breeding.â
I have never, and will never, say that the skull of a Bull terrier is not extreme in the most literal sense of the word. Extreme- reaching a high or the highest degree; very great. A Bull terrier skull has an extreme klinorhynchic angle.Â
However, my point in saying that the phrase âthe extremes of pure-breedingâ is unfounded is because A.1) it is often used in the context of lumping Bull Terrier heads with many highly detrimental traits, such as bracy faces B.1) it is a loaded phrase, often used in a highly condescending and yet simplistic way which is backed by no scientific grounds. C.1) It insinuates that mixed breed dogs are, in some way, better than pure breed dogs.Â
A.2) I think I have already argued this point sufficiently. B.2) No one should throw around loaded phrases and expect it to tell the whole truth. You know what does tell truths? Peer reviews. Bring it to me peer reviewed or it is just a phrase. C.2) A very narrow way of thinking in a wide topic. When we want a healthy animal we want one with genetic resilience, a non-detrimental  morphology and physiology, and a low number and low extremity of genetic illnesses. A breed that is genetically resilient has a large gene pool and enough heterozygocity to keep harmful recessive genetic traits at bay. This is something I have already said needs to be improved in the Bull terrier and outcrossing with a few key breeds would likely be the best option. Non-detrimental is just as points A.1 and A.2 already summed up. As for low number/extremity of illnesses⊠The Bull terrier, as I said, is prone to allergies, skin cancer if no sunscreen is used, deafness, and skin allergies. There is also colloquial hints to lead me to say that a study would likely find Canine OCD in moderate to high occurrence. That is 2 major, 2 minor, and one behavioral illness that are found in high enough frequency to call them âbreed risksâ.
Lets compare that to say, the Doberman. I personally love Dobes. They are handsome and wonderful dogs. But, they are known to have health issues. Including, according to Pet MD, â Wobblerâs syndrome, cervical vertebral instability (CVI), and cardiomyopathy are some serious health problems affecting Dobermans; some minor diseases seen in this breed of dog include canine hip dysplasia (CHD), osteosarcoma, von Willebrandâs disease (vWD), demodicosis, and gastric torsion. Albinism, narcolepsy, hypothyroidism, and progressive retinal atrophy  âÂ
So thatâs⊠3 major and 9 minor problems. All in high enough frequncy to call them âbreed risksâ.Â
Iâm not trying to compare apples to oranges, or bullies to dobies, but what I am trying to do is to say that the Bull terrier is, for all intents and purposes, a  healthy breed.Â
But what about mixed breeds? Well,UC Davis actually looked into this. âAccording to the study, which was published in the June 1, 2013 edition of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association1, the prevalence of 13 of the 24 genetic disorders was about the same for purebreds as mixed breeds. Some of those disorders were hip dysplasia, hyper- and hypoadrenocorticism, cancers, lens luxation and patellar luxation.Ten conditions were found more frequently among purebred dogs, including dilated cardiomyopathy, elbow dysplasia, cataracts, and hypothyroidism.One disorder was actually more common in mixed-breeds â cranial cruciate ligament ruptures.âOverall, the study showed that the prevalence of these genetic disorders among purebred and mixed-breed dogs depends on the specific condition,â said animal physiologist Anita Oberbauer, professor and chair of the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis and lead author of the study.âÂ
http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2013/07/05/pet-genetic-disorders.aspx
So, mixing breeds isnât the miracle answer that people treat it to be.Â
2)Â â Their skulls are in no way shaped naturallyâ
Neither is the skull of the greyhound, the collie, or even the labrador, for that matter. No dogs are natural. I will say that again. NO DOGS ARE NATURAL. They were domesticated thousands of years ago, changed from their ancestral form, and have been bred or adapted to fit different urban or companion-based niches. To throw around the word ânaturalâ is to lose itâs actual meaning. Would you look at a German shepherd or a Husky and say that it is ânaturalâ because it looks more wolf like? Would you so quickly forget the years of breeding and selection that it took to get that coat, that size, that shape, that personality- just because it has a very very superficial similarity to that of itâs closest species relative?Â
No dogs are natural, and those that even come close like indogs and landraces still can not have years of human intervention erased from their history or from their DNA.
3)Â â bending may cause issues it the future. So far, thankfully, the snout has not been shortenedâ
Iâll be honest with you. We donât know what the future will hold for the health of any breed. But, I can tell you that we are running out of angle. We have very little more of an angle to go with and with no issues with skull-related health so far I am inclined to believe that we would have to go to insane lengths to create one. But, that is a problem for the future and one I can not foresee happening based on the current breed standard or the direction of the breeding currently underway,
Also, it has never been, and will never be, in the Bull terrier breed standard to shorten the muzzle. End of story.
4)Â â The top of the eye socket should be parallel to the top of the skull in canines. So should the bottom of the eye socket.â
Source? Where is it written that the angular placement of the socket has any indicator of eye health or quality of vision? This is so far in left field I can not even imagine what you are trying to prove?
5)Â â do not seem to show any illness or health detriments due to their extreme skull manipulation. Â â
If âdo not seemâ and âdoes not based on hundreds of health reports done via testing prior to breeding each individualâ are the same thing then, sure.Â
6)Â âHowever, you cannot say that itâs merely a dog with no stop - these are dogs where the snout has been manipulated to bend at an unnatural angle.â
Never said they were âmerely a dog with no stopâ. Bull terriers are dogs with no stop and a klinorhynchic angle. I am open about both of these traits.
Again, please do not throw around buzzword like âmanipulatedâ or âunnaturalâ. All dogs are both of these things.
7)Â â I honestly would love to see far less of a slope and a more natural nose position"
I want to make myself very very clear on this. If you have a problem with an aesthetic trait of a dog breed and want to see it changed then get in the breed.Â
If you donât want in the breed to make changes yourself then kindly go to another breed. You do not see me in the Whippet community saying how I wish they were bigger, like they were before, or in the GSD community saying how I want them to have smaller heads, like before. No, because I am not in those breeds and the breed community decides via breeding what aesthetic traits they want to see in their breed. I donât like those traits on those breeds so, guess what? I wonât own them. End of story.Â
This is only ever amended when a choice of trait shows obvious and undeniable harm to the dogs who have the traits. For example, Bulldogs and Pugs. We have research, veterinary support, and peer reviewed papers which tell us that these animals suffer for the choices of their breed community. That is why we voice ourselves, not because we think its âunattractiveâ or âunnaturalâ but because real, live dogs suffer for those choices.Â
So, when you have any scientific evidence that the head of a Bull terrier decreases their quality of life please drop me a line. I will do my best as a future breeder to help back breed and outcross until the dogs I love are where they need to be. But, until then, I will be looking to focus on deafness, allergies, bodily/temperamental soundness, and personality- because these are things which are actually pertinent at the time.Â
Thank you.
