STOP PIT BULL OVERPOPULATION!
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a medium-sized, solidly built, short haired dog whose early ancestors came from England and Ireland. It is a member of the Molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshire’s was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6–8" in height and 25–35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire Terrier being the larger of the two.
The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. When bear-baiting and bull-baiting were deemed inhumane, rat-baiting and dog fighting became more popular. The APBT Breed was used in both sports, and its prevalence in being put in pits with rats, or other dogs led to "pit" being added to its name.

The American Pit Bull is medium-sized, and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure. Its eyes are round to almond shaped, and its ears are small to medium in length and can be natural or cropped. The tail is slightly thick and tapers to a point. The coat is glossy, smooth, short, and stiff to the touch. The accepted coat color can vary widely, but, both the AKC and UKC do not recognize merle coloring.
Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull-type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization. A few counties, and cities in the United States as well as the Province of Ontario in Canada, have outright banned ownership of the American Pit Bull terrier, and the breed is banned in the UK. ~ Wikipedia®
My friend Sam is fostering this adorable, calm and super sweet dog Skyler who was rescued from the streets by the warriors of Duck team 6. She wanted me to take photos of Skyler for her adoption, so that's what I did this Saturday morning. Maybe for next week's DPS assignment.
This is better seen in lightbox. Hit the L key!
I had the greatest photo session this past weekend with Pumpkin and his Mom. Pitties are easily my photograph breed to photograph - their character, goofiness and joy are just unrivaled. :)

One of my two American Pit Bull Terriers, Nikia, fell asleep with her face buried inside a pair of my old Merrell's. Yes ... she passed out ... Hahaha. If you come at me you'd better have something more clever than that.
It was no mean feat taking a picture of four dogs in costumes, especially when one is a very busy puppy. After costume malfunctions and many trips back re-pose we got a few shots. I included some "out-takes" for this series as well to give you a look behind the scenes with three very patient and well behaved adults and one very busy Bull Terrier puppy :-) Enjoy
