I first became interested in the breed when me and my wife were dating several years ago. She used to volunteer at the SPCA on Saturdays. When I would stop by to see her or go out to lunch with her I noticed that the place was always full of pitbulls. They used to get an SPCA news letter where my wife was volunteering and I remember reading that one of the top SPCA officials estimated that there were currently more pitbulls in shelters and pounds than there were registered with the UKC and ADBA combined.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why there were so many pits in the shelter when the classified section of the newspaper was always full of pitbull litters for sale.



Because I know someone will ask: I have one female pitbull that is spayed. I got her out of a shelter in Waco TX. She was in the shelter for over a year, probably due to the fact that she only has 3 legs and nobody seemed to want a 3 legged pit. (kinda makes it hard to look like a tough guy walking a 3 legged dog)
