The Nanny dog myth

Pitbull people will say that the Pitbull is called the Nanny Dog. Actually, the term was started by the Staffordshire Bull Terrier group( called the Nursemaid's dog) in their effort to gain Kennel Club recog which they lacked due to the breed's fighting history. NO breed should ever be given a term like that. All dogs are individuals as far as their feelings about kids. For some, even with socialization, they are uncomfortable around children. This can lead the dog to bite. ALL dogs should be supervised around children.
