16.9. Myth – “Pit Bulls” Cannot Co-Exist With Other Animals
Based on our first-hand experience with dogs that are commonly and incorrectly referred to as “Pit Bulls” and our research, we disagree.
For fact based information, see http://pitbullsfactormyth.net/16-6-1-canine-aggression-tests/.
No evidence was found to substantiate that all “Pit Bulls” cannot co-exist with other animals. Most can, but a small minority can’t. The same is true for humans: some can’t co-exit with other humans.
We have rescued sixteen (16) American Staffordshire Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers and numerous mutts that are typically referred to as “Pit Bulls” and have yet to have one bite us. Our experience with them exceeds 100 dog-years, i.e., a dog-year being sheltering one dog for one year, since we started keeping records.
