The notion that they are mean by nature is totally wrong. Any dog can be turned mean and aggressive, but pitbulls just happen to have a set of teeth and jaws to be exploited. The poor shelter is overflowing with them, and many of them were raised without compassion. It's sad.

I want one, if they have it.

Seriously, for someone like me who wants either a Tibetan Mastiff or Caucasian Ovarchka, that mix sounds AWESOME!

I know that is more of a want, rather than a need, and at the moment, it is not in the realm of possibility for me due to my schedule... So, no dogs for me as of yet. It won't be fair for me or the dog since I can't provide the attention they need.

You brought tears to my eyes. Not sure who is the cuter one in that pic, though. They're both sort of adorable.

Think about it. Scared kids holding tight to a pitbull that is giving you dirty looks because the kid is crying.

...their smiles. I've had 4 and they all had those big goofy grins when they were happy. Miss them all. No more dogs for me. My current mutt is living his last days. I can't do it anymore.
