I live near a city that is overrun with "pitbull type" dogs. I'd say that the problem is from people not taking care of their dogs and not finding them good homes if they don't want them anymore. The other problem is lack of care. It takes a lot of work to maintain a yard of dogs and many people think they can do it, but they can't. Money is also another factor that is overlooked. It is expensive to keep dogs healthy and in shape. If people took care of their animals, kept them from disturbing others, and shelters weren't overrun with "pitbull type" dogs, the breed would be in a lot better shape.

The PBB has saved me money and time and has been a wonderful resource. In my eyes its a requirement for any dog owner of any breed.
