This page I wrote for my old rv website RVforSaleGuide.com before developing the Vanabode as the best travel vehicle for cheap easy long term road trips. People still like big rv's despite the much greater cost and trouble to operate, so here's what I know about them.

Pit Bull Fights Porcupine

Pit Bull Fights Porcupine - picture of pit bull after getting stabbed by the quilled monster. 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.

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 see a pit bull puppy and rabbit at the beach.
