Pit bull bans?

All you have to state on your profile is that "due to local laws, you cannot accept any pit bulls. Sorry."

You would state the fact as is and provide a link to the said ordinance if need be.

It is an undeserved attention and I can affirm that as an owner myself. My pitbull is given lots of affection, exercise, and playtime but also severely reprimanded for bad behavior by both of us at home. Problematic pitbulls come from owners who do not know how to handle them. A dog cannot be the leader of the pack. Period. The owner is and should always be the leader of the pack- this must be made very clear to the dog in question, any dog in general but pitbulls in particular. I have to admit that pitbulls are more stubborn than other breeds but they are super eager to please and are excellent guard dogs for the house as well as children. That said, I understand why a city would ban them (though I am surprised such a thing can be done)- because there is no way to control how people raise and handle dogs. Pitbulls are very aggressive when not handled well.

I wish my city would ban pitbulls. Sorry, but I think their reputation is well-deserved. I have witnessed them "in action" several times. I see behavior from them that I just never see from other breeds.
