wow, so they have dog fights to determine 'drug turf'? never heard that before. i thought thats what drive bys and snitching were for. nice article for the most part. i didn't really like the stuff it said about training the dogs to fight. lots of people use treadmills and have them pull weights. but now people are going to read that and see their neighbor in the backyard pulling with their dog and think that they are "training for a fight", or in the keep. and maybe if they stoped telling people how to "train fighting dogs" then maybe people trying to get into the game and wannabes wouldn't know how and would find some other way to try and make a quick buck. thats just my view on this subject though.

GOOD ARTICLE ....... NEEDS TO BE SENT WORLDWIDE!! I DON'T GO FOR FIGHTING PITS ..
I THINK IT IS WRONG. THE OWNERS OUGHT TO FIGHT NOT THE DOGS. MAYBE THEN THERE WOULD BE LESS IGNORANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
I ESPECIALLY HATE WHEN YOU TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT YOUR PIT AND THEY CRINGE ... ANY DOG CAN BE TRAINED TO BE MEAN & NASTY.....OUR PITS JUST ENDED UP BEING THE ONES TAKING ALL THE BLAME FOR IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE.

Awesome article...I am also from PA so it was nice to see it was local. I am so sick of defending my pup due to all the bad press. Hope more people read this!

It would be great to get something like that started in Panama City. You can't even GET homeowners insurance if you own a Pit.
