It is important because many people think Bully Breeds are all the same, agressive nasty, and not sociable. As a matter of fact all breeds can do the same to anyone anywhere. We want breed discrimination to end, don't judge the breed before the deed. For years now we have blamed Pit Bulls, Rottweilers etc instead of the owner. If you truly go to the PetSmart website and go under requirments for the Doggie Daycare you will find this exact paragraph: "Dogs in the "bully breed" classification (e.g. American Pit Bull Terriers, Miniature Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bull Dogs, Bull Terriers or mixed breeds that have the appearance or characteristics of one of these breeds). For the safety of all animals and associates, and at the discretion of PetSmart, some pets may not be permitted." Us, as a human race, want to fight against those who think these breeds are not liable to be just like any other. We want to change the worlds view, although there are many of us, including myself who are trying to help voice out how the hate for them is so inhumane and unfair, we need more! We will all fight, year after year, week after week, day after day, until our last breath to give all breeds an equal chance at life!

I am currently drafting a formal letter to the corporate office detailing our concerns regarding the breed classification policy. A representative from a local news outlet contacted me to discuss the impact of these restrictions on responsible pet owners.

Total nonsense. Its the owner not the breed. My neighbor has a golden retriever that is way worse than any pit ive met.

My pit mix is the biggest sweetheart ever. This policy is completely backwards and based on stupid stereotypes.

Dont judge the breed before the deed. Really unfair to single out these dogs when they are just as good as any poodle.
