Feedback from our customers(Pitbull owner)
Dear Guy,
Well, It's been over a year now, and the collars are still holding up just as strong as
ever! They are wonderful, and we couldn't be happier!
I just wanted to tell you that a good friend of mine off of the internet wrote to me the
other day and told me that he was on your site ordering something for his new dog, and he
saw DAVE and SUZI! He is from Illinois and his name is Fernando. He had no idea that they
were on there, and he said he was so excited when he pulled it up and there was DAVE!
I thought it was so cool, and I just wanted to thank you again for using Dave right there
on your first page. We are truly proud.
I hope you are doing well, and I'll talk with you again soon.
With kind regards,
Mary Alice
P.S. Here are the kids, still wearing their beautiful leather!
Ethnographic interviews were conducted with 28 pit bull "owners" to explore the sociological experience of having a dog with a negative image. Results indicate that the vast majority of respondents felt that these dogs were stigmatized because of their breed. Respondents made this conclusion because friends, family, and strangers were apprehensive in the presence of their dogs and because they made accusations about the breed's viciousness and lack of predictability. In the face of this stigma, respondents resorted to using a variety of interactional strategies to lessen the impact of this perception or prevent it from occurring. 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. For the first half of this century, pit bulls enjoyed a positive image in America. During World War I, these dogs stood for American courage and were featured in a series of patriotic wartime posters. In the 1930s, a popular show called The Little Rascals, as well as the Our Gang comedy series, featured a pit bull. And from 1890 to 1948, pit bulls were very popular dogs to own because they were seen as "a good natured watchdog and family pet”. However, the image of pit bulls has suffered in recent years. The popular media commonly portrays pit bulls as demonic animals - unpredictable and savage in their behavior toward humans. For example, the headline of an article in U.S. News and World Report (1987) proclaimed that pit bulls were "The Most Dangerous in America." The article's author claimed that "America's baddest dog" was in a separate category from shepherds, Dobermans, and Rottweilers because they cannot "chomp through a chain link fence" like pit bulls. Cities passed ordinances that restricted or banned pit bulls, and the media kept the hysteria going by reporting every pit bull attack while minimizing those of other breeds..
