But where did those come from and are they fair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month and we&#8217;re here to say we\u2019ve met and cared for a whole lot of sweet, goofy, wonderful pit bulls that defy all the negative stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any dog or animal you don\u2019t know, use caution and avoid making them feel unsafe or uncomfortable. As with all breeds, socialization and training are of utmost importance to teach a dog how to safely interact with children and adults.&nbsp;Our hope is that by sharing this information about pits, you\u2019ll do your best to keep an open mind about the breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/arin-greenwood\/pit-bull-myths_b_5623555.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Art\u00edculo de Arin Greenwood sobre los estereotipos de los pozos<\/a>&nbsp;points out that applying stereotypes to the entire breed has a real cost on the dogs themselves and their families. \u201cHundreds of jurisdictions across the country ban or otherwise restrict ownership of these dogs \u2014 which leads to dogs being taken away from their families for nothing more than their appearance, and families living in fear of losing their beloved pets.\u201d She adds that even where ownership is legal, finding housing may be difficult. They are among the most common breeds in shelters with the longest stays and among the breeds most likely to be euthanized, perhaps more than 3000 per day in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"\u00bfSon los pitbulls incomprendidos?\" class=\"wp-image-2124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/blog-images-2023-02-07T173536.854.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"but-where-did-pit-bullsnbspbad-repnbspcome-from\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPero de d\u00f3nde vinieron los pitbulls? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/style\/pets\/la-hm-pit-bulls-20150620-story.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">mala reputaci\u00f3n<\/a> \u00bfviene de?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/style\/pets\/la-hm-pit-bulls-20150620-story.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roy Rivenberg<\/a>&nbsp;wrote in his L.A. Times article, \u201cPetey, the canine sidekick in the&nbsp;<em>Peque\u00f1os granujas<\/em>&nbsp;comedies, was a pit bull. So were the mascots for RCA Victor and Buster Brown shoes. Even the White House welcomed pit bull offshoots under Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of pit bull heroes as well who\u2019ve saved people from fires, excelled as service animals for the disabled and in the military, and extended and brightened the lives of millions of pet parents. They just aren\u2019t making headlines as often. So how did we come to present day where the breed is banned in some cities and counties?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Were they bred for violence? \u201cPit bull terriers are a cross between English bulldogs, which were bred in the 1800s to fight bulls and bears with tenacious bites to the snout, and terriers, known for speed and agility. The combination produced dogs that deliver a \u201ccrushing bite\u201d and don\u2019t let go,\u201d explains Nicholas Dodman. He\u2019s the director of the animal behavior clinic at Tufts University\u2019s school of veterinary medicine and author of&nbsp;<em>Perros que se portan mal<\/em>&nbsp;in Rivenberg\u2019s article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact their rap has been made notorious by real, deadly attacks against toddlers and adults \u2014 including the fatal mauling of an Antelope Valley woman in 2013. But Rivenberg adds, \u201c\u2026numerous studies show pit bulls are no more likely to bite humans than other breeds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But just as we shouldn\u2019t broadly believe stereotypes about humans, nor should we with pit bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact members of the \u2018pit bull\u2019 label can encompass&nbsp;the Staffordshire bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier and American pit bull terrier, among other breeds. As you might have guessed, individual dogs within a breed can vary widely in personality, temperament and a host of other traits. Just as widely as within any other breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los defensores culpan a los malos propietarios por los titulares negativos. Los pitbulls han llegado a la cima como la raza que simboliza la rebeli\u00f3n y la dureza y algunos propietarios la eligen por ese motivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in fact, pit bulls haven\u2019t always held this top spot in our shifting culture. \u201cIn the 1800s, bloodhounds were reportedly the most feared breed. In the 1970s, German shepherds ranked as dog-bite kings,\u201d says Rivenberg. So wouldn\u2019t these facts imply that as our companions (and weapons), its not the breed that is dangerous but the behaviors that we as humans choose to teach them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfEs realmente merecida su mala reputaci\u00f3n? Tal vez no. Y lo que es m\u00e1s importante, \u00bfse puede superar con tiempo, educaci\u00f3n, formaci\u00f3n positiva y socializaci\u00f3n? Creemos que s\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you won\u2019t generalize the reputation of a breed to every dog within it. And go one better. Be sure to acknowledge and spread the word when you meet a kind and lovable pit. They are out there. We\u2019ve met quite a few and they deserve their chance at happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runthosedogs.com\/author\/runthosedogs\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692024269069\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se malinterpreta tanto a los pitbull?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n suelen centrarse en historias negativas que involucran a pitbulls, enfatizando incidentes de agresi\u00f3n o ataques.
