It is possible to have the condition surgically corrected. For more serious cases, your pitbull may need to be euthanized or put down.
Breed-specific legislation
Some cities have adopted breed-specific legislation. One example is Whitehall. But are such laws justified? The City's ordinance, which criminalizes many dogs, is too broad. It also criminalizes some breeds of dogs called "Pit Bulls", based on their appearance or behavior. In fact, it may even violate the Constitution by robbing citizens of their Due Process rights. But the question is: How far is too much?

Pit bulls are often asked if they get along well with other dogs. Although pit bulls are well known for their strength and energy, there are some things that make them unsuitable for most homes.

Pit bulls' jaws don't have the same strength as other breeds and their bite force is lower than that of their counterparts.

How To
How to choose a good name for your pet?
When you are considering adopting a pet into your family, it is one the most crucial decisions you will make. You want to pick a name that reflects who they are and what kind of personality they have.
You should also consider how others might refer to them - if you're going to use their name in conversation, for example. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. What do you prefer, for example, "dog" or pet?
Here are some tips that will help you get started.
-
You should choose a name that suits your dog's breed. Look up the names associated to the breed, if you have a good idea of what it is (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits the breed.
-
Be aware of the meaning behind the name. Some breeds are named after people and places while others are simply nicknames. The name "Rover," for example, was given to a Labrador Retriever because he was always running around!
-
How would you like to be called? Do you prefer to be called "dog?" or "pet?" Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Make sure to include the owner's name. It is a smart idea to give your dog a name that includes both your first and last names. However, it doesn't mean you should limit yourself to just including the names of family members. Your dog may grow up to be part of your family, too!
-
Be aware that many pets have multiple names. A cat may have many names, depending on where she is located. While she may be called "Kitty Cat" at her home, she might go by "Molly" when visiting her friends. This is especially true when cats live outdoors. Cats often choose to adopt their name according to their surroundings.
-
Be creative! There are no rules that say you have to follow a certain naming convention. You just need to choose something that is unique and memorable.
-
Be sure to check that your chosen name does not already belong in the hands of another person or organization. That way, you won't accidentally steal someone else's identity!
-
Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes it takes time before you can determine if the name is right. You can keep searching until you find your perfect match.
