| Suzy Azalea’s Pit Bull Terrier Lance |
Indeed, criticisms and negative stories about pit bulls are rampant and often hyped up by the media. But Azalea maintains that a dog’s character is not a reflection of its breed, but its training.
Like most dogs, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier or a pit bull is a pack animal that needs a dominant leader. A pit bull only shows aggression when it is not properly trained, or if it's abused or provoked. In fact, the breed is known for its compassionate demeanor, so much so that it was the closest thing the United States had to a national dog.

Suzy Azalea, who also trains dogs, says that she has trained hundreds of pit bulls in the past, but not one of them turned on her without severe provocation. “Pit bulls are very affectionate dogs. Once you’ve established who the leader in your home is, the pit bull would do nothing but to try its best to please you,” she adds.
