The Wrong Breed?

Hi, my name is Cadillac. I am an American Pit Bull Terrier and live in suburbia. I have my Canine Good Citizen certificate from the AKC. I am purebred and registered with the ADBA. And, I compete in weight pull with both the IWPA and ADBA.

Last pulling season I took 2nd place at the IWPA Championships and 3rd place for the region overall in the 40-60 lb weight class.



Regardless of all my past and future accomplishments though most people don't like me. I love to meet new people, I sit and shake and high five to try and impress them. But, may people just cannot get over the fact that I am a "pit bull."

Many people have in their minds an idea of a devil dog which will rip them to shreds when they hear the words "pit bull."



This is the image perpetuated by groups like PETA, HSUS and the media in general. They portray this image of "pit bulls" and refer to us all as one "breed" when in reality the term "pit bull" encompasses many breeds with different looks, characteristics and inborn qualities. But, regardless of which breed in the "pit bull" category you choose, none of us are born evil, baby killing machines.

I am writing this blog to detail all my accomplishments and educate the public a bit about the HSUS, PETA and other group's stereotyping of my breed and others like it.

JUDGE THE DOG, NOT THE DOG BREED. We all are individuals and this "pit bull" is a good dog all around!
