Pitbulls

Pitbulls are one of the most famous dog breeds in the united states. Unfortunately, they have a bad reputation. Many people think that pitbulls are viscous dogs, and possibly the meanest dog breed out there. There are also many myths concerning pitbulls, such as they have a jaw that locks shut and won't let anything go after they have bitten something, they will turn on their owner, and their brain will swell up and cause them to go insane when they get angry, which is one myth that was even once associated with Dobermans. Another myth is that they are mean dogs and that they are only good for fighting. But none of these myths are true. 
Although, pitbulls have been breed to be fighting dogs in the past, that does not mean that it is their true nature or that that is all they are good for. With proper training, any dog can be a good and obedient dog. There is also no evidence that says a pitbull's jaw can lock shut, it is exactly the same as any other dog's jaw. There is also no way for a dog's brain to swell up and cause it to go insane. There is no possible way for that to happen to any dog!
Many people also get confused and think that there is only one pitbull breed, but in reality there are several breeds that people call "pitbulls." Some of these breeds are the American Pitbull Terrior, the American Staffordshire Terrior, and the Staffordshire bull terrior. Each of which, has their own seperate characteristics that make them unique. I think people need to be more informed about the so called "dangerous dog breeds," and learn that with proper training, any dog has the ability to be a good dog.
