Shugs House

Welcome to Shugs House

This is Shugs House...Shug is a pit bull. Shug has changed the views & opinions of a lot of people, myself included (See Shug's Story). Shugs House is dedicated to raising awareness. Not all pit-bulls are evil. Here you can share your favorite pit-bull opinions, photos, stories and any other pit-bull news.

"Pit Bull" is a generic term used loosely to describe dogs with similar characteristics. This includes the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier & Bull Terriers of any mix. Other dogs that get lumped into this category are the American Bulldog and Dogo Argentino despite major genetic differences. Any dog that is mixed with a "bully breed" may also be called a "pit bull" including those that are descended from the English Bulldog, Boxer Bulldog, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier, Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff and Cane Corso. The pit-bull is not a distinct breed which make it difficult for experts to identify. The truth is any mixed bull breed may be labeled a "pit-bull" if they have the "look."

Why is this a problem?? Because there are people trying to pass breed specific laws against dangerous animals. Pit Bulls are on this list...Which means dogs like "Shug" are in danger, just because of their appearance. Some people want to eradicate the breed, there are some shelters that automatically put pit bulls down. Regardless of if they are aggressive or not. This has not always been the case. I grew up watching the "Little Rascals" nobody was up in arms because "Petey" was a pit-bull. Everybody loved Petey. The most decorated canine war hero in United States history was Sergeant Stubby. And Sergeant Stubby was, you guessed it...was a pit-bull. My Dad had pit-bulls growing up. None of them ever bit anyone. He did have one that would fight any other dog that came into his yard. All dogs are territorial to an extent, that doesn't mean they are vicious.
