1: PIT BULL

Unfortunately for this beautiful breed, the Pit Bull has gotten a horrible reputation as being mean and vicious, when in fact, they can actually be big sweethearts. Sadly, Pit Bulls were bred specifically to be used in dog fighting rings. Although this particular blood sport has been banned in the US, it still happens in underground rings. Due to their early years of breeding for fighting, a lot of that still lives on in their bloodlines. Therefore, it is really important to keep these animals in loving, caring homes, giving them an opportunity to socialize with other animals and humans.
