Hmmm...Who to believe, the Boston Terrier community or the Pit Bull sociopaths?!?....
Here's another paper that mentions Stubby to be a "handsome boston bull terrier."
That's who papers pointing out that he wasn't an American pit bull terrier... what will the nutters have to fall on now?
Sorry, I linked that paper wrong.

"But Stubby was technically a pit bull!"
But not an American or Staffordshire... Bad Rap has a lot of cleaning up to do on their pit bull history page...

You should do a truth blog on Stubby! If it's not the "America's dog" claim I hear, it sure is the Stubby one!
there's a lot more lies and exaggerations going on than just breed.
i blogged about stubby here.
