Your pit bulls are beautiful.... :-)
Not sure if you're from Ontario but they have just passed legislation on a
pitbull ban here..... irregardless of all the professionals including the
Ontario Veterinary Medical Association that are opposed to the ban. Not sure
when it begins but they are going to make a manditory neuter/spaying for all
pitters, plus a manditory muzzle law when they are out in public.
Politicians should not be given the power to make such decisions. It's
ridiculous. Those people who train pitbulls to be viscious will simply turn
to another breed such as rottweilers.

oh i know all about the ontario ban. it's such a shame and so many
people worked so hard to try to change the mind of the government. so
many knowledgeable associations spoke out against it..... they don't
care. michael bryant doesn't care. he's got his political agenda. who
cares if it's right, wrong, or effective.
it's so stupid. it's ineffective. it's not going to stop the dog bite
problem. it's going to kill a bunch of innocent dogs.
a lot of dog owners are being given a very hard time, and have been
since the bill was first proposed- being verbally abused about their
dogs, and some of them aren't even pit bulls!!
i've had people think my dogs were boxers and labradors. i'm sure the
boxer and lab owners are getting a lot of crap now.
i feel terrible for the people in ontario and scared for my own dogs
even though i'm hundreds of miles away.

We have a ban here on Pitbulls as well, if you have one it has to be
neutered or speyed, muzzled in public all the time. We have also
banned some Mexican dog... there are a few other breeds as well. It all
happened because one girl got her face badly mauled and there was lots
of bad press so as a knee jerk reaction the ban came about. In my town
there is this guy who has a Pitbull and he is one of the gentlest
natured creatures I have come across. I believe that there are just bad
dogs like there are bad people. If you train and encourage them to be
vicious then thats exactly what they will be...:(
