Introduction to Pit Bulls
As many people know, Pit Bulls and other bully breeds (bulldogs, dogo argentinos, staffordshires, and the like), have been gaining an unearned bad reputation for the past 50 years. But they weren't always known as that. For hundreds of years before, Pit Bulls were known for their strength, agility, and family loyalty. In fact, they were known as "the nursemaid's dog", because of their kindness and protective attitude towards children.
But when pit bull attacks started to become more frequent, most of the time on the part of careless owners, the media began to give them a horrible reputation.
The term "pit bull" refers to many dog breeds; Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Bull Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, and any mixed breed of those dogs. Dogo argentinos and bulldogs are often considered "pit bulls", too.
