I'm a Pit Bull lover through and through. The most loving dogs, they are extremely loyal, intelligent and strong, and they bathe their owners in kisses constantly (believe me, I know, I get Pit Bull kisses every few minutes when I'm at home). They will do anything for their owner, including kill and that is why they get such a bad rap, because so many owners train them to do just that. These dogs crave human attention and affection, and they will return it by doing just what their owner wants. Because of this, complete ignorance abounds and it is difficult to own Pit Bulls in many places worldwide. Cities and states have bans on these breeds, and other breeds which only LOOK like Pit Bulls even if they are not; insurance companies charge higher premiums for people who own Pit Bulls if they will even insure them at all; and excessive restrictions are placed on Pit Bull owners and breeders. I will always fight for these breeds, because they do not deserve the stigma that hangs over their heads - the people who teach them to do bad things do. Afterall, anyone who reads the news on a daily basis knows that human beings are highly flawed, worthless pieces of crap in general.
So my five favorite dog breeds are, with the top three being the "Pit Bull" breeds, in this order:
1. American Pit Bull Terrier
2. American Staffordshire Terrier
3. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
4. Doberman Pinscher
5. Bull Mastiff
