We Are Pitbulls: A Collection of Portraits of the Dogs We Call "Pitbulls" and Their Owners by AnnaLisa Allegretti
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 11 MB
Overview: "While some of these dogs are purebred American Pit Bull Terriers (APBTs), the only true “Pit Bull,” many of them look the part closely enough at first glance that they are lumped in to a loosely formed concept that is popularly referred to as the “pit bull” or “pitbull.” I intentionally use the single word, non-capitalized “pitbull” to refer to dogs under this broad umbrella."
This is a book about differences, similarities and assumptions.
I started this project by asking people to bring their “pitbulls” and “pit-mixes” to photo shoots in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. I didn't ask for breeding papers, I didn't specify purebred American Pit Bull Terriers, I left it up to dog owners to self-identify their dogs as pitbulls or mixes, because they had decided themselves or been told by a shelter, a vet, or a DNA test that is what their dogs were.
The result is a collection of dogs that look very, very different from one another, and yet, if a legislator or a landlord saw any of these dogs, he would call them pitbulls.
The point is that while some of these dogs are purebred American Pit Bull Terriers (APBTs), the only true “Pit Bull,” many of them look the part closely enough at first glance that they are lumped in to a loosely formed concept that is popularly referred to as the “pit bull” or “pitbull.” I use the single word, non-capitalized “pitbull” to refer to dogs under this broad umbrella.
The dogs featured here are Boxer mixes, American Bulldog mixes, Dogo Argentino mixes, Whippet Mixes and so many other kinds of breed mixes it will not do to list them all. Some of the dogs that look the most “Pit Bull” actually have the least APBT DNA according to their tests. My own Harrison is a strapping young fellow, robust, blocky-headed, strong, and someone cut his ears, but he is more Whippet than Pit Bull. Laurelai, who started me down this road appears to be purebred APBT.
