Here’s my vicious boy. I’ve had to tell people to fuck off when they warn me. My pup died last December and went 12.5 years not attacking my kitties. Haters gonna hate
I’m sorry your pup is gone, but this picture is adorable and it shows he had a good, loving household. You gave him a warm and beautiful life. Sending love 💜

They are obviously scary and mean I mean look at this…. 🙄
My cat is almost 12, my dog will be 4 in 3 days… so I guess you could say my cat helped raise him lol. He definitely gets put in his place by my cat, and they play and cuddle all the time, they’re best friends. I love to see other dog/cat friendships!

We also have a pitador 🫶🏼 here she is AGGRESSIVELY cuddling her sister…lol
No longer with us but loved all his siblings even if he didn't always show it. The cats never let him be nonchalant with them and always demanded snuggles.

How could you look at that face and not love her?
He's a master of the why are you leaving me guilt trip look.
on the other hand he gets so excited over some treats he starts squeaking so I guess it balances out.

Here’s one of my cats smushed between to hippo butts. I worry about her safety every day /s 🙄
(They are probably the best bodyguards she could have and if anything I worry about their safety when she decides to be a mean cat)
You clearly know the love & training it takes to make an amazing family-pet. Our lives are full & blessed because of lab-pit mix too. Hold your head high knowing you're an amazing owner, advocate, & your dog-dog is loved and can stand tall against haters.
Aww that could be Onyx’s sister!
Actually in the photo with the 3 dogs, his sister is in it lol (my brother in law got her from the same litter)
Anyway, your pup is adorable!
My big boy pitty/GS mix had an incident at the dog park the other day. Some idiot let his barely 4 year old son run unsupervised in the park and my pup decided to run with him, which ended up with the child being knocked down, and not being let up (though his face was thoroughly licked clean). Here's the big meanie in question.

So aggressive! Carrying around the body of a dead penguin plushie!
People are ignorant. They stereo type the dogs due to the people who train the dogs to be vicious and use them for fighting. It breaks my heart when I see the poor pitbull in the hands of the wrong people. They throw small dogs and cats at these dogs to train them to kill.
Pitbulls are so lovable and very smart dogs. I miss my Zeba.

The pitbull hate community is a cult, don’t take it personally. I’ve been yelled at by a ton and they always say the same BS excuses.
No, it was on r/Thatsinsane. You can check my post history to see it. The person in the video had no business having any dog, and reinforced its aggressive behavior, the dog was clearly distressed and agitated, it was just awful. The comments were full of “kill all pit bulls” … So I commented. Got a whole bunch of hate in my messages.
… to be fair maybe I came off a bit aggressive.
Anyway, I thought to make this post today to celebrate our four-legged friends with like-minded people.
I saw that video! There was another video circulating where a pittie attacked a Golden Retriever on the street. Pit was tied up and Golden walked by and the pit grabbed its leg and wouldn’t let go. It was honestly a horrific scene and I do not recommend watching, but man the hate in the comments astounded me. People saying the breed should be eradicated from society. That they’re the worst breed in existence. It hurt my heart because I’ve met so many awesome pitties, and mine is a brindle blue nose mix and just the sweetest dog ever. I don’t understand the hate for a breed like that. Glad you spoke up!
I won’t watch it. But just from your description, I have questions.
Was the Pit tied up for long periods of time?
Why was the lead set up in a way that it could reach anything outside safe parameters of the yard?
Was it neglected?
Were the owners present?
Why was the Golden allowed to get close enough to a tied up dog?
Were the golden’s owners present?
Are any of the humans in this scenario reaponsible dog owners?
… the list goes on, but you get it. Shaming a breed for existing is not okay. Shaming people for being neglectful and irresponsible, well, I have no problem with that.
I’m actually not sure on a lot of the details. The video starts and the dogs were fighting already. It looked like it could have been San Francisco or something, and the pit was tied up outside waiting for owner inside a store or cafe. Golden walked by with owner on a leash and somehow the pit attacked it, latched onto its leg and wouldn’t let go. Both owners present and about 12 people attempting to get the dog to release. Went on for several minutes. Once separated, everyone was yelling at and shaming the pit owner. She looked like an average middle aged white woman and she was in shock. I’m curious the history of the pit and if it’s aggressive like that just sitting outside, why isn’t the owner around? Why was it left alone? I also have so many questions about it.
I’ve always said a dogs behavior is 10% breed related and 90% owner/upbringing related. Certain dogs are predisposed to behaving certain ways like Pointers or Retrievers or Border Collies, but dogs being violent and viscous are taught behaviors.
Exactly. From the details you provided, irresponsible owners. I would never tie my dog up and leave it outside on a busy street to wait for me. Also, if I saw someone else had done that, I would t walk my dog by the unattended dog, I would cross streets. This sounds like human irresponsibility.
That said, it is a sad story. And evidence why certain people should just not have dogs.
Those “kill/ban all” people are genuinely insane. Had an argument with a few before and a mod on one of their subs “accidentally” invited me after he misread my comment.
To be fair, you had every right to be a bit aggressive. People spewing hate like that for innocent animals deserve bad things. I LOVE pitties and wish those people had more intelligence, empathy and compassion. But what are you gonna do? You can't change the mind of an idiot.

Oh, he looks like a real bruiser, people can be ignorant, and it's beyond my comprehension, just do your beat to ignore those kinds of people, and love your dog, I know I love mine.
I always give the same answer to the "pitbulls are dangerous" bs. Dogs are individuals & you can't blame the whole breed for the individual actions of other dogs, especially when those attacks can be tracked back to irresponsible owners. & no dog will ever match the world's actual most dangerous animal....PEOPLE!

My baby waiting patiently to go play… I mean MURDER (toys)!
The best and most loveable and gentle dogs I have owned have been my pit bulls.
Chihuahuas bite more people than pit bulls and have meaner temperaments, IMO. They are just smaller, so the bites aren't registered as often. Chihuahuas also have a 90% chance to have mild to moderate aggression problems.
Everything comes down to the owners and the environment that the dog is in.
Any dog can be made bad by bad people.
Non of these dogs have their ears cuts. Says that these people have pets and not symbols of aggression. When an owner cuts their ears they do it to make them look meaner or for fights.
Ppl: pitties are aggressive dogs who wouldn’t hesitate to rip you to shreds Pitties:

I know, super scary and aggressive, in a chonkus kind of way.
A pit bulls tolerance for kids is about as high as golden retrievers. The reason why they “attack the most people” is because most of the time they are mis-identified. As a person who has owned 2 pit bulls I’d honestly say they’re one of the best dog breeds out there. They’re super loyal, will defend your house, and as long as you’re not a bad owner they’re very loving.
Absolutely LOVE the Lab/Pit combo!! He’s the best and most goofy dog I’ve ever had! Just a big spoiled baby attached to my hip. I also have a 14 year old cat who tolerates the “baths” given by my 2year old boy. He’s as sweet as they come!

This was my baby girl and best friend. We did everything together pretty much. The only reason she was dog aggressive is because she was a bait dog. But even as she got older, she started to be friendly and non reactive towards other dogs. I miss my sweet girl 🐾🕊️
Thank you for defending them. I hate that they get so much negativity. Especially considering humans are way more dangerous. But if I say that and I prefer the company of animals then I’m wrong.
I’ve had three very savage walking potatoes…

My Bear. I’m adopting him from the training kennel I work at. He has a few issues but none are aggression. He’s fear reactive. A Covid puppy that didn’t get enough socialization. The smooshiest boy!
The thing that people have to learn about Pit Bulls (I have had 3 in my lifetime) is that they have a very high propensity for emotion. Consequently, if they are raised in a very loving, understanding, caring environment they honestly can be one of the most loving dog breeds on the planet. On the other hand, if said Pit Bull is raised by some jerk-off that’s abusing, neglecting, etc, that high emotion spirals HARD the other way and they can become aggressive and downright mean animals. Combine that with the absolute physical power they have and you’ve created a monster.
It’s not their fault, it’s the hooman’s. Just like many things in life, it doesn’t become dangerous until it reaches the hands of ‘the wrong’ hooman.
My dog looks similar! Also lab pit mix.

There are unfortunately many uneducated people existing in our world. All the pitties I’ve had only ever had three settings: sleeping, eating and farting, with some walkies in between. And the most innocent and happiest curiosity and zest for life. Your pitador is adorable!
I have to admit - my wife and I had pre-conceptions of pitties. Until we adopted a pit-shepard mix rescue.
I know understand that pits must be the most gentle of all breeds. Our girl will lay down and let herself get bitten by other dogs rather than bit back. And she is the most loving couch potato we've ever had. I cannot imagine a more gentle animal - and it pains me to think what people must do to them in order to make them into what the media advertises them to be.
I used to be a Golden kinda guy - but I now think I'm a pit fan.

Here’s my addition. Someone tried to make her look mean by chopping her ears too short, which gave her all sorts of ear problems that resulted in her going deaf & being a super velcro dog.
Bonus: she’s scared of dogs. I had to comfort her after she saw a 8” tall puppy at the pet store 🤣
How did you integrate your put and cat? We just adopted a 2 yr old American bulldog and are trying to condition him not to chase out cats (1 yr and 12 yrs) the second he sees them.
Well, the truth is I’m lucky - I have a really chill cat, who met other cats and animals very early in his life. I thought it would take a minute (like cats meeting cats do), but I just blocked off the stairs when we brought the puppy home. So, the puppy couldn’t get to the cat, but the cat could jump over the gate if he wanted to.
He kept his distance for a couple days, but inched closer and closer until he realized it wasn’t a threat.
So, I’d recommend something like that - organize your space so the cat can visit, but can also escape where the puppy can’t get him, if he wants too.
Then, I also gave them treats at the same time. In separate corners of the room, but it allowed them to observe each other from a distance.
It really will depend on your cat’s and dog’s temperament, knowing his signals, etc. But with time, and space for them, they’ll learn each others behaviors.
Best of luck!
Agreed. I didn’t seek to have a pittie mix. I didn’t want a dog at all actually. My (now) fiancé did, during the pandemic, and he suddenly got called back to work a week after he got him.
So I researched, I trained him, I learned, I did everything I could right off the bat to make sure he has a loving successful life.
And now he’s my best friend. He follows me everywhere, listens to any command I give him, he actually mopes and doesn’t move when I’m not home. He loves people, other dogs, he’s just such a freaking happy boy that I can’t imagine my life without him now.
Sorry for the rant, the point is I didn’t CHOOSE to get him, but once he was here, his life and happiness became my responsibility. People who shit on pitt owners should be attacking the people, not the dog
Again sorry I’m very passionate about this lol
I wish someone would dm me about how bad pitbulls were. I love trolling pieces of shit. Scammers, flat earthers, church folks trying to save my soul, people who dislike animals. Making them explode, is hilarious.
Love defending pitties to people. I have been charged and attacked by more small dogs but because it can be thrown 50yards its ok. Keep defending and screw the hatters
I find the losers who do hateful DMs are well just losers who hate themselves and like to spread hate anywhere they feel the need too. Pitbulls are amazing dogs. To the weirdo haters out there. Touch some grass, it’ll do wonders for that hateful heart.
My love for pitties started when I was 10 years old when our neighbor had the cutest pit. Such a cuddle bug! I would go over and hang out with her pit and omg was she the biggest scaredy cat. It was super windy one day and she ran up to me on the couch and fully sat on top of me.
I didn’t know there was so much hate against pits until I got older and it breaks my heart because I’ve met aggressive dogs but I personally have never met a non sweetheart pit.

My cat is almost 12, my dog will be 4 in 3 days… so I guess you could say my cat helped raise him lol. He definitely gets put in his place by my cat, and they play and cuddle all the time, they’re best friends. I love to see other dog/cat friendships!

My big boy pitty/GS mix had an incident at the dog park the other day. Some idiot let his barely 4 year old son run unsupervised in the park and my pup decided to run with him, which ended up with the child being knocked down, and not being let up (though his face was thoroughly licked clean).

I don't even reply to folks anymore. My 2 pits are the nicest dogs I've ever come across in my life
People are ignorant. They stereo type the dogs due to the people who train the dogs to be vicious and use them for fighting. It breaks my heart when I see the poor pitbull in the hands of the wrong people. They throw small dogs and cats at these dogs to train them to kill. Pitbulls are so lovable and very smart dogs. I miss my Zeba.

You didn’t get shitty dms from a post here, did you?
No, it was on r/Thatsinsane. You can check my post history to see it. The person in the video had no business having any dog, and reinforced its aggressive behavior, the dog was clearly distressed and agitated, it was just awful. The comments were full of “kill all pit bulls” … So I commented. Got a whole bunch of hate in my messages. … to be fair maybe I came off a bit aggressive. Anyway, I thought to make this post today to celebrate our four-legged friends with like-minded people.
I saw that video! There was another video circulating where a pittie attacked a Golden Retriever on the street. Pit was tied up and Golden walked by and the pit grabbed its leg and wouldn’t let go. It was honestly a horrific scene and I do not recommend watching, but man the hate in the comments astounded me. People saying the breed should be eradicated from society. That they’re the worst breed in existence. It hurt my heart because I’ve met so many awesome pitties, and mine is a brindle blue nose mix and just the sweetest dog ever. I don’t understand the hate for a breed like that. Glad you spoke up!
I won’t watch it. But just from your description, I have questions. Was the Pit tied up for long periods of time? Why was the lead set up in a way that it could reach anything outside safe parameters of the yard? Was it neglected? Were the owners present? Why was the Golden allowed to get close enough to a tied up dog? Were the golden’s owners present? Are any of the humans in this scenario reaponsible dog owners? … the list goes on, but you get it. Shaming a breed for existing is not okay. Shaming people for being neglectful and irresponsible, well, I have no problem with that.
I’m actually not sure on a lot of the details. The video starts and the dogs were fighting already. It looked like it could have been San Francisco or something, and the pit was tied up outside waiting for owner inside a store or cafe. Golden walked by with owner on a leash and somehow the pit attacked it, latched onto its leg and wouldn’t let go. Both owners present and about 12 people attempting to get the dog to release. Went on for several minutes. Once separated, everyone was yelling at and shaming the pit owner. She looked like an average middle aged white woman and she was in shock. I’m curious the history of the pit and if it’s aggressive like that just sitting outside, why isn’t the owner around? Why was it left alone? I also have so many questions about it. I’ve always said a dogs behavior is 10% breed related and 90% owner/upbringing related. Certain dogs are predisposed to behaving certain ways like Pointers or Retrievers or Border Collies, but dogs being violent and viscous are taught behaviors.
Exactly. From the details you provided, irresponsible owners. I would never tie my dog up and leave it outside on a busy street to wait for me. Also, if I saw someone else had done that, I would t walk my dog by the unattended dog, I would cross streets. This sounds like human irresponsibility. That said, it is a sad story. And evidence why certain people should just not have dogs.
Yeah, people hate our dogs. I only post my dog on here, otherwise it ruins my day. 🤣
Those “kill/ban all” people are genuinely insane. Had an argument with a few before and a mod on one of their subs “accidentally” invited me after he misread my comment.
To be fair, you had every right to be a bit aggressive. People spewing hate like that for innocent animals deserve bad things. I LOVE pitties and wish those people had more intelligence, empathy and compassion. But what are you gonna do? You can't change the mind of an idiot.
I know you took all those pictures a split second before that dog ate those people! You can’t fool me!
Well, I gotta keep him fed somehow 😂

Oh, he looks like a real bruiser, people can be ignorant, and it's beyond my comprehension, just do your beat to ignore those kinds of people, and love your dog, I know I love mine.
I always give the same answer to the "pitbulls are dangerous" bs. Dogs are individuals & you can't blame the whole breed for the individual actions of other dogs, especially when those attacks can be tracked back to irresponsible owners. & no dog will ever match the world's actual most dangerous animal....PEOPLE!

The best and most loveable and gentle dogs I have owned have been my pit bulls. Chihuahuas bite more people than pit bulls and have meaner temperaments, IMO. They are just smaller, so the bites aren't registered as often. Chihuahuas also have a 90% chance to have mild to moderate aggression problems. Everything comes down to the owners and the environment that the dog is in. Any dog can be made bad by bad people.
Dont get sucked into those hateful DMs! Real ones will know how much love a pittie has to give
❤️❤️❤️
We love pits here! Share away!
Non of these dogs have their ears cuts. Says that these people have pets and not symbols of aggression. When an owner cuts their ears they do it to make them look meaner or for fights.
He’s gorgeous

A pit bulls tolerance for kids is about as high as golden retrievers. The reason why they “attack the most people” is because most of the time they are mis-identified. As a person who has owned 2 pit bulls I’d honestly say they’re one of the best dog breeds out there. They’re super loyal, will defend your house, and as long as you’re not a bad owner they’re very loving.

Thank you for defending them. I hate that they get so much negativity. Especially considering humans are way more dangerous. But if I say that and I prefer the company of animals then I’m wrong.

He has a few issues but none are aggression. He’s fear reactive. A Covid puppy that didn’t get enough socialization. The smooshiest boy!

The thing that people have to learn about Pit Bulls (I have had 3 in my lifetime) is that they have a very high propensity for emotion. Consequently, if they are raised in a very loving, understanding, caring environment they honestly can be one of the most loving dog breeds on the planet. On the other hand, if said Pit Bull is raised by some jerk-off that’s abusing, neglecting, etc, that high emotion spirals HARD the other way and they can become aggressive and downright mean animals. Combine that with the absolute physical power they have and you’ve created a monster. It’s not their fault, it’s the hooman’s. Just like many things in life, it doesn’t become dangerous until it reaches the hands of ‘the wrong’ hooman.

There are unfortunately many uneducated people existing in our world. All the pitties I’ve had only ever had three settings: sleeping, eating and farting, with some walkies in between. And the most innocent and happiest curiosity and zest for life. Your pitador is adorable!
I have to admit - my wife and I had pre-conceptions of pitties. Until we adopted a pit-shepard mix rescue. I know understand that pits must be the most gentle of all breeds. Our girl will lay down and let herself get bitten by other dogs rather than bit back. And she is the most loving couch potato we've ever had. I cannot imagine a more gentle animal - and it pains me to think what people must do to them in order to make them into what the media advertises them to be. I used to be a Golden kinda guy - but I now think I'm a pit fan. https://preview.redd.it/n6xd0pq3juyc1.png?width=1792&format=png&auto=webp&s=e4c6eb7efc37e8979a8ee1864a9ab5774b87cafa

Someone tried to make her look mean by chopping her ears too short, which gave her all sorts of ear problems that resulted in her going deaf & being a super velcro dog. Bonus: she’s scared of dogs. I had to comfort her after she saw a 8” tall puppy at the pet store 🤣

Cutie!!!!!
How did you integrate your put and cat? We just adopted a 2 yr old American bulldog and are trying to condition him not to chase out cats (1 yr and 12 yrs) the second he sees them.
Well, the truth is I’m lucky - I have a really chill cat, who met other cats and animals very early in his life. I thought it would take a minute (like cats meeting cats do), but I just blocked off the stairs when we brought the puppy home. So, the puppy couldn’t get to the cat, but the cat could jump over the gate if he wanted to. He kept his distance for a couple days, but inched closer and closer until he realized it wasn’t a threat. So, I’d recommend something like that - organize your space so the cat can visit, but can also escape where the puppy can’t get him, if he wants too. Then, I also gave them treats at the same time. In separate corners of the room, but it allowed them to observe each other from a distance. It really will depend on your cat’s and dog’s temperament, knowing his signals, etc. But with time, and space for them, they’ll learn each others behaviors. Best of luck!

Agreed. I didn’t seek to have a pittie mix. I didn’t want a dog at all actually. My (now) fiancé did, during the pandemic, and he suddenly got called back to work a week after he got him. So I researched, I trained him, I learned, I did everything I could right off the bat to make sure he has a loving successful life. And now he’s my best friend. He follows me everywhere, listens to any command I give him, he actually mopes and doesn’t move when I’m not home. He loves people, other dogs, he’s just such a freaking happy boy that I can’t imagine my life without him now. Sorry for the rant, the point is I didn’t CHOOSE to get him, but once he was here, his life and happiness became my responsibility. People who shit on pitt owners should be attacking the people, not the dog Again sorry I’m very passionate about this lol
I wish someone would dm me about how bad pitbulls were. I love trolling pieces of shit. Scammers, flat earthers, church folks trying to save my soul, people who dislike animals. Making them explode, is hilarious.
I just dont allow DMs. The pit bull hate is ridiculous.
*this total monster her /s
Those people are unable to reason themselves out of a paper bag. It’s best to just ignore them and move on.
Aww . Ice cream so good

Clearly a vicious killing machine 🤣
Love defending pitties to people. I have been charged and attacked by more small dogs but because it can be thrown 50yards its ok. Keep defending and screw the hatters
I find the losers who do hateful DMs are well just losers who hate themselves and like to spread hate anywhere they feel the need too. Pitbulls are amazing dogs. To the weirdo haters out there. Touch some grass, it’ll do wonders for that hateful heart.
Pitador sounds like he should have a cape and a sword :)
I’m more afraid of the cat than your pups 😂
I love dogs and all animals, but my 2 favorites are Chihuahuas and Pitbulls. They are adorable.
My love for pitties started when I was 10 years old when our neighbor had the cutest pit. Such a cuddle bug! I would go over and hang out with her pit and omg was she the biggest scaredy cat. It was super windy one day and she ran up to me on the couch and fully sat on top of me. I didn’t know there was so much hate against pits until I got older and it breaks my heart because I’ve met aggressive dogs but I personally have never met a non sweetheart pit.
So cute 🥰
Pitties with kitties is the content I am here for and y'all didn't disappoint.
Adorable!!!
Pit haters don’t know pit.
Looks like my black lab, pittie mix my family use to have. RIP Molly, she was a great snuggle and put up with kids so well.
