I have assured Sis that these comments are coming from over emotional and uniformed individuals who are not privy to any of the professional suggestions on my part and the open-minded acceptance on Sis’ part.

I like to say that I have no problem with what she is doing. But I would like to reply to your post anyway.
First thing is that obviously the people that have a problem with what sis is doing aren't the only over emotional ones since you find the need to post about it.
Secondly, since they are uniformed then why don't you post more of your professional suggestions in the training section?
This is a message board and debate and different opinions are what make them what they are. A good thread can sometimes do more to educate then reading a book. A good arguement/dis-agreement can make us truly think and come up with better solutions which, ultimately, on this board, can help the dogs. At least I hope so.
If someone doesn't want to be scrutinized then they shouldn't post their business on a public forum.
More on the topic, I believe it was Bahamutt that wrote a blog recently that talks about the dissention between the pet bull owners and the working dog people. This is a good example of that right here.
Part of our goal with this forum was to try and unite these two parties and maybe bring about some mutual understanding in order to help save the breed and for all of us to better understand each other and the dogs.
I don't think that people being nasty to Chris about this is necessary. I was upset lastnight that people were making comments to me about it, and he was upset that I was upset so he posted.

Everybody has right for their own emotions, people on this board have them and all, but I'm sure Sis is the one who's more emotional right now... Whatever happens, I just hope that Halo lives the rest of his life in a home where he's happy (not that he' snot with Sis) and I'm confident that it will happen.

There is no "vs" involved here. This forum is for people who own / love / train / support / work Pit Bulls and other bull breeds.
There is often a difference in the "roles" of dogs depending on how many you have and what you do with them. We can respectfully agree to disagree on many topics, and all members are asked to not pass judgement and to at least listen to any opposing opinions.
Many people have commented on the fact that we have managed to keep most of the heated debates civil - and we plan to continue to keep things civil.
Most working dogs are not pets. Yes, some are, but the majority are not. As such, they have different care and different expectations. That does not mean sub-standard, just different. Halo is lucky to be in the situation he is in, I know more than one "working dog" person who would have had him put down.
I prefer to stay out of this particular conversation, as I am not at all un-biased in my opinions. however, I did want to address the comment about the purpose of this board.
