Welcome to Diane Jessup's educational site dedicated
to the American pit bull.
Updated: 11.14.11


For three decades I've tried to be a good breed steward; I believe preservation of this historical breed is worthy of dedicating a lifetime to.

I hope the info here will be helpful to anyone with the worthy goal of keeping the real, pure American pit bull sound in body and mind - people friendly and tough as nails - while remaining a law abiding citizen. If you are a breeder, rescuer or pet owner, I hope this site will help you enjoy and appreciate the American pit bull just a bit more. If you fear/dislike the breed it's going to show you what you're missing!

Diane Jessup is the author of The Working Pit Bull, The Dog Who Spoke With Gods, and co-author of Colby's Book of the APBT. She created and ran the LawDogs program, putting pit bulls in law enforcement agencies as narcotics and explosives detection dogs (not biting dogs!).

Over the past 35 years Diane has trained industrial guard dogs; dogs used in movies and commercials; and put over 60 training titles on her own dogs. (I might add this was before agility and other modern sports which offer dozens and dozens of titles for the same sport). She is a certified police K9 trainer and retired from 20 years as an animal control officer. In an effort to speak out on behalf of game animals everywhere, she became POST certified as an expert on dog and cock fighting and has been an invited speaker on the subject of blood sports, the American pit bull and American game fowl, dog aggression and dog behavior for law enforcement in five countries. She has served as an expert witness on behalf of police K9 units and has been featured on shows like 48 Hours, McNeil/Leher, The O'Reilly Factor, Oprah and hundreds of news shows and articles.

If you have questions about the breed - this site will answer them -
honestly and truthfully. I don't believe "spin" helps the breed.

BREEDING: the #1 problem our breed faces today is overpopulation. Be part of the solution - not the problem - by educating yourself about breeding practices. We need better dogs - not just more dogs. Why protecting purebreds is so important.
EDUCATION: is this the breed for you? It's not "all how you raise them." RESPECT your dog enough to learn about his unique needs.
NUTRITION: for your performance dog or couch potato. Easy to use information.
PRESERVATION: wild animals are not the only animals at risk of extinction. PETA would like to cause the extinction of ALL pets; the HSUS works hard to destroy several breeds of dog and fowl. Find out how YOU can help save these noble animals.

In progress now! Our sister-site:

DUMBING DOWN DOGS:
The Extinction of Dogs of Character

Wake up and smell the coffee...

What you need to know about today's
"animal welfare" movement and the people behind it.

Did you know:

* The HSUS is currently under intense IRS investigation?
* Both PETA and HSUS support BSL as the first step toward banning ALL pet ownership!
* The HSUS has to borrow other organization's kennels and pets to make their heart rending commercials? The HSUS does not operate EVEN ONE SHELTER! It's a total scam.

I DON'T support PETA, HSUS or ASPCA though I have spent a lifetime loving and working on behalf of animals (twenty of those years as an animal control officer and a Life Time Member of the American Anti-Vivisection Society). These well funded groups send full time paid lobbiest to DC and every state - to legislate THEIR own, twisted, unnatural anti-pet keeping views.
Stop them NOW. Learn the TRUTH.
