an issue for many decades in our country. The primary cause of this would be over breeding. However, on the off chance that pit bulls, the breed as a whole, were to go extinct tomorrow, you can almost guarantee that another breed of dog would take the pit bull’s place of overrunning shelters. In other words, it is not an issue that would be specific to this breed of dog, it is an issue that could affect any breed of dog. The most obvious next runners would be Rottweilers or Dobermans, who would…
