All of this info is also available to the enemies of the sport. With a little studying they then can talk the talk and buy a few dogs. Overtime work their way into the circles of dog persons.

The main notable dog men of my time, lust's for gate money/prestige of winning a trophy etc. Some even being big time drug dealers. Has pretty well been the main demise of this sport. That still appears to be the same problems today.

Majority of the public know or think they know what a pit bull is by certain type looking dogs.

The words Pit Bull brings thoughts of dread and terror in the minds of most of the public today. Sad but true.
Excellent post CYJ. Those points highlighted above are sadly very true.

While I enjoy the history of these dogs and reading the old magazines, it is used against the breed. And then you have the public who really does not have a clue and all they hear is the brainwashing of the HSUS and the media.

I used to hear comments about my old 50 pound bitch... "she is too small to be a real pit bull! Pit bulls are 80 or 90 pounds..." and I felt she was too big, LOL.

All my dogs have been listed as "terrier mixes" on the vet records as I do not trust BSL and where else will they start to look for "pit bulls" but in vet records and dog licenses.

Sad times these days for the bulldogs... far better the breed was unknown except in certain circles.

And drugs, guns and bulldogs do not mix. The dogs pay the price for the owners' greed and stupidity...
