Pit Bull Fights Porcupine
Pit bulls are notoriously instinctive. Had this been a German
Shepherd for instance attacking a porcupine he would have backed off after
the first quill. But pit bulls do not work that way. Their instincts override
their intelligence. Once in a rage they may continue to attack regardless
of consequences. That's great if they are attacking the man that is breaking
in but otherwise pit bulls can be a problem.
I wish I had pictures of the naked porcupine, as I have
never seen one. This pit bull was put to sleep from getting blind and
the infections from the quills. The term "pit bull" is used
to describe several breeds of dogs with similar physical characteristics,
the American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American
Staffordshire Terrier. The pit bull is a medium-sized dog. They have a
short coat which accentuates their muscular bodies looking like a doggy
bodybuilder. Their skin can be extremely sensitive due to them shedding.
The myth that pit bulls have a "locking jaw" mechanism
and that the dog cannot let go once it has bitten is not true. For the
most part, pit bulls have strong jaws for their size. A few studies have
been conducted to this "locking jaw" mechanism. The result of
the study was that their jaw structure and function is no different from
that of any breed of dog. For eye candy click cool

Another myth is that "pit bulls don't feel pain".
Pit bulls have the same nervous system of any other breed. "Gameness"
is the trait defined as the desire to continue on and/or complete a task
despite pain and discomfort. Pit bulls were breed to finish the task they
were required to perform, tolerating or ignoring discomfort and pain.
Therefore, the difficulty in deterring a pit bull from its task is not
an inability to feel pain but rather a desirable trait in the trained
working dog.
They are known for confidence, intelligence, and loyal temperament.
As well, they have an extremely high pain threshold. Pit bulls need to
be exercised frequently, as they are athletic and energetic dogs. They
are eager to please and brimming with enthusiasm. Pit bulls are naturally
agile, intelligent, and willing to work which makes them one of the most
capable canines for performance events.

Pit bulls are not always a good choice to have as a guard
dog because they are friendly even to strangers. Aggressive behavior toward
humans is uncharacteristic of the breed and highly undesirable.
Most pit bills have some level of dog aggression and because
of its powerful physique an owner must carefully socialize and obedience
train the dog. Click bunny pictures to
