The American Pit Bull Terrier officially became a breed on Feb 10, 1898 when Chauncey Z. Bennett created the United Kennel Club (UKC) to not only recognize the APBT but all working, sporting, and hunting dogs that the lame AKC wouldn't accept. In 1909 the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA) was formed to further legitimize the APBT. They are now the second and third largest dog clubs in the US.
For most of the twentieth century the American Pit Bull Terrier was known as America's Dog, the family dog. They were mascots for companies like Buster Brown Shoes and RCA Victor. They were used on propaganda posters in both WWI and WWII. They were featured on Life Magazine more than any other breed.
It wasn't until the late 1970's when dog fighting started making a comeback (especially in the inner-cities) that their reputation began to suffer. In 1987 an article in Sports Illustrated (of all magazines) titled The Pit Bull: Friend and Killer was published and the wheels came off. By 1989 cities across the country including Denver CO and Miami/Dade County FL were passing breed specific legislation laws (BSL) and they became outlaws.
Today the tide is turning back in their favor. Since 2012 over 300 cities have repealed their BSL laws in favor of more humane "dangerous dog" ordinances which go after the true culprits, bad owners and individual dogs, not breeds. We are winning but still have a long way to go in returning the American Pit Bull Terrier to it's rightful place as "America's Dog"

🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent has just found $100 MILLION IN FRAUDULENT PAYMENTS that would've otherwise gone to deceased people
Bessent says there might be $500 BILLION in total fraud 🤯🤯
If the Biden admin were still in power, the $100M would've been PAID AND LOST.
"President Trump issued an executive order for us to be able to go to the Do Not Pay to have it interact with the Treasury payment systems."
"And as a result, so far we've saved about $100 million payments that didn't go to deceased people. And that would have gone out. We think that there's up to $350 million that we can stop before the end of this year."
"And that goes along with the vice president's task force on eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. The GAO estimates that it might be, this number might be up to $500 billion, which is about 1.66 percent of GDP!"
"So that could go a long way towards paying down the debt, providing more services. And this is just the start."
