In every one of these threads, there are typically links to things that refute the information that is always discussed in these threads. You always hear someone say that these dogs will "snap" unpredictably, won't quit when fighting, and have the deadliest bite in the dog world, etc. Experts would tell you otherwise but, if I've learned one thing here, it's that people generally are not open to changing their minds and usually some of the loudest voices are from those that have little or no experience with the breed.
So be it.

I've been intimately involved with a pure PB female and 16 offspring since they were weeks old. I've been handling dogs for 50 years with a reputation for having "the gift" for critters....and you have never typed a single thing that both you and I have not known for decades. Neither you, nor any other expert will change my mind at this point. How many PB fights have you experienced? Your condescending attitude towards CB (Baz's too) when you suggest some folks shouldn't even have a dog if they don't agree is ludicrious
. Yes CB, it's one of the hardest damn decisions a dog lover ever has too make....I feel for ya brother. My buddy had to do the same....a few times.
OK....I'm out....
