The Dog Whisperer on Breed Bans
Dunno if you’ve ever watched the show but it’s good. Anyway, he says of politically incorrect dog bans:
Ontario’s pit bull ban is an unfair law based on ignorance – because getting rid of a breed of dog doesn’t get rid of the problem, says celebrity dog trainer Cesar Millan.
Millan, known as the Dog Whisperer for his uncanny ability to solve canine behavioural problems, was in Toronto this week promoting his National Geographic Channel show and the recent DVD release of the first season’s episodes.
“In the United States, in the ’70s, they did the same thing to the Doberman. In the ’80s they did it to the German shepherd, in the ’90s they did it to the Rottweiler, and now they’re doing it to the pit bull,” he says.
“So whatever dog is in fashion, people are going to blame them for things.”
Sounds like he’s been reading me.

I have a Pitt Bull who has been raised with love and kindness and has been soicalized since she was a puppy and she is a great dog. She is loving and will bark if she hears noise but as a guard dog I am afraid all she would do is beat a robber with her tail. She has even been play mate to my old dashund and babsitter to a friends puppy and she is as gentle as a mother dog to a pup with smalls dog. They get a bad rap because people raise them that way.
