October is National Pitbull Awareness Month! This observance was created to gain more awareness around pitbull misconceptions. Here are FIVE of the most common dangerous misconceptions:
1. Pitbulls have locking jaws (Their jaw is just like any other dogs!)
2. Pitbulls are more aggressive to humans compared to other breeds. (This misconception is due to their forced history in dog fighting)
3. Pitbulls are inherently dangerous dogs (Not with good training!)
4. Pitbulls are single minded and cannot be trained (They are highly intelligent!)
5. All pitbulls look the same (Actually, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes!)
By helping to debunk these misconceptions, we can help find all the sweet pitbulls stuck in shelters good homes.
