Pit bull kills 4-day old infant...

Yeah they are, just not my type of critter, although I do have a wired haired Jack Russell ( I know they are called something else by the AKC). Im more of a beagle fan or other hunting dog breeds.

I'm a hound person myself.
My mom is a chihuahua person
My older sister is a Boston Terrier person.

To each his own! (even though dachshunds are the superior dog )

Have you all seen what has happened to some of Michael Vick's dogs? I think only 2 had to be put down. These dogs were not only bred to be fighting dogs but WERE fighting dogs. several are in helping positions. one sits with kids at a library and is a reading dog. it sits with kids with reading problems and lets kids read to them. another is (i think) a dog that visits hospitals. I think one, which is considered maybe the best fighting dog on the property has a great new home. There is a book about the whole thing called LOST DOGS that the wife is reading. details all the good and bad stuff that happened.
now I'm not saying all the Vick dogs are amazing as many are still in "halfway" places being retrained to be pets.
