The name Pibble is what Furmoms use to refer to
the Pit Bull dog breed. They prefer not to use the name Pit Bull because they feel it has undeserved negative connotations, and they crusade against persecution of the breed.
Their hope is that the word "Pibble" paints a gentler, kinder picture of
the Pit Bull breed, even though hard evidence shows that the breed is
responsible for 70% of dog attacks and maulings.
