Is It The Dog Breed Or The Owner?

Katy's question stems from the fact that someone she is close to is considering adopting a pitbull that may have been mistreated.

Katy's question also only seemed interested in human safety...but whatever.

My main concern here is that if the person adopting isn't going to see the care of the animal through, then please don't adopt. It happens all the time: someone sees a puppy and thinks it really cute and then it turns out to be a lot of work caring for the animal and then they end up dumping the dog somewhere -- whether that be giving the animal to someone equally inept or in a housing situation not right for the dog or just abandoning the animal.

Get off your soapbox already. There isn't anything at all in katy's post to indicate the person is going to mistreat or abandon the animal. Just the opposite, he has a friend of a freind who's a breeder and he's been thinking about it for awhile. Also, if that's really your "main concern" you should reconsider your priorities.
