Tinkerbell
attracted the wrong kind of interest from people as it was obvious she had been
used for fighting previously and because Pit bulls are on the ‘band breeds’
list here in the UAE (I will talk about this fantastic list later!) they aren’t
easy to get hold of.
We
had a Yellow Lab name Sammy and he really needed a friend.
So
a few days later we went to visit Tinkerbell at the shelter, I felt an instant
bond!
Tinkerbell
settled in so well with me and my husband, she started off going for walks
wearing a muzzle as we had no idea what she was going to be like around other
dogs and we had to work on a level of trust with her. Pit bulls have been breed
so that they have this amazingly strong jaw muscles exhibiting a bite, hold and
shake method that can be impossible to get them to let go. Tinkerbell
demonstrated that she had an extremely high pray drive, with the slightest of
squeak or animal sound she wanted to bite, run or chase it down.
Gradually after months of training her,
learning about her, developing trust with her and learning to read her, the
muzzle came off. We came to learn that Tinkerbell LOVES BOYS! Boys with their
manhood still intact even better ;) She has a bunch of friends now that she
plays with and goes for walks with but one eye will always be watching her.
Just
to clarify Tinkerbell adores people, she has never shown any signs of
aggression towards people she just wants to be loved! Unbelievable considering
what some humans have done to her.
The
“Pit Bull” isn’t even an actual breed at all, but a slang term that current
american culture uses to describe any dog that has a big head, cropped ears,
brindle coat or eye patch usually a large or stocky dog. The true breeds most
commonly labeled as Pit Bulls are: American Pitbull Terrier, American
Staffordshire Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Unfortunately the Pit
Bull has become popular with the gang-subculture who have exploited this breed
by forcing them into dog fighting rings, and breeding and training them to be
aggressive. Today, many people automatically associate the Pit Bull with crime,
gangs, and poverty when, in fact, most Pit Bulls are owned by your average
upstanding citizens. With the explosion of Pit Bull breeders, thousands of Pit
Bulls are ending up in shelters across the country, topping the list of the
most euthanized pet. The fact is, millions of Pit Bulls are living peacefully
in homes throughout the country. Not
fighting and attack people. With any
animal you should be educated on how they will act so you can train you animal
according.
