General "Woof" Tip: One of the things I would like to pay your attention at:There are many resellers around the Internet which are not direct makers and sometimes don’t even know how and what for products they sell are made.Ask right questions to find out if you deal with main source or if you are going to pay extra money just because product you are about to purchase went through 2-4 extra hands before it reaches you.I like to save extra buck and it won’t harm you either, so check if you are purchasing product from main source.Most of the times if you ask fro a small change in size adjustment, only maker will be able to do it for you.Our Braided Leather Dog Leash available in Black and Brown colors also this leash with ROUND leather handle and brass snap hook!!

Ethnographic interviews were conducted with pit bull owners to explore how they experience and manage breed stigma. Names of pit bull owners were obtained from two shelters in large eastern Massachusetts cities. The forty most recent pit bull adopters from each shelter were sent a letter describing this study.

The vast majority of respondents were Caucasian, between the ages of 20 and 50. Both blue and white collar professions were represented, although the former were more common than the latter.

Although a few owners spoke with nonchalance about the breed's negative public reputation, the majority of respondents expressed concern and frustration about this stigma. In the face of such stigma, respondents used one or more excusing or accounting tactics. These strategies included passing their dogs as breeds other than pit bulls, denying that their behavior is biologically determined, debunking adverse media coverage, using humor, emphasizing counter stereotypical behavior, avoiding stereotypical equipment or accessories, taking preventive measures, or becoming breed ambassadors.

According to many respondents, when they and their pit bulls encountered strangers, direct allegations of viciousness were rare. More common, they claimed, was a sense that strangers were fearful or apprehensive. Most respondents, for example, could recall situations in which people on the street tried to avoid their dogs, either by walking around them or by crossing the street. One owner who lives just outside Boston in a city with a prominent pit bull population said, that in the morning when he walks [his dog], sometimes he crosses paths....
