Martinelli is hoping that a Sept. 4 public dog show at California State University East Bay in Hayward will help to reverse the long-standing perception that the dogs are inherently aggressive and dangerous.
He expects a couple of hundred members of the American Bully Kennel Club to take part in a show competition that will also include English and French bulldogs and Staffordshire pits. Trophies will be awarded for best in class and best in show.
The bully breed was established in 2004 with the express desire to train the aggressive nature out of the animals and re-establish them among the dog breeds that make safe, secure, domesticated pets.
"We're trying to breed all of the fight and all of the game out of them," said Martinelli, who has bred more than half a dozen litters of the dogs.
Only well-behaved dogs are eligible for breeding, and dogs that repeatedly exhibit aggressive behavior are put down, he said.
On more than one occasion, Martinelli said he's had to shield his own dog, Poison, an 11-month old bully, from more aggressive dogs because she will not fight back.
"She's been bred that way, and I make sure there are no dogs that will challenge her when I take her to the park," he said.
Poison was named best in show at a bully dog competition at the Solano County Fair last month. She actually made friends with a potbelly pig, Martinelli said.
Ironically, Martinelli's comments Monday were made outside the Oakland Animal Shelter as he watched two pit bulls go after each other until animal control officers pulled them apart.
There are more than 50,000 bully dogs registered with the American Bully Kennel Club, a Southern California organization with members all over the world.
"In essence, (bully dogs) are a cosmetic breed," said Charles May, president of the kennel association. It may look like an impressive animal with muscles on top of muscles, but that's really not a true reflection of the breed's nature, he said.
"We hold these events all over the country to educate the public," May said. "We try to show the general public that we can create a show environment and that despite our dogs' looks, they can be as docile and friendly as the next dog," he added.
While that may be the case, Martinelli, who also works as an Oakland city building inspector, could not find a venue in Oakland that would host a dog show that included pit bulls or any connected breeds.
"We tried to put on a show in Oakland, but there were a lot of problems with getting the right park, and there were concerns because of the recent stories of people being attacked and killed," he said.
It's not as if Martinelli doesn't understand those concerns.
In his work around Oakland, he's encountered many cases of animal abuse and is among the first to admit the dangers associated with a dog trained to exhibit its ferocious nature.
"If they are raised or bred in the wrong way, then yeah, they can be very dangerous," he said. "We want as much attention as we can get to show another side of these dogs."

恶霸犬是强壮 并具有巨大勇气的战士 但不是斗士
它们并不是斗狗 更不是比特
虽然它们有巨大的力量和无畏的性格 !
但有一点要特别提醒大家 混乱错误的繁殖或混血
可能会出现失控的小狗并很危险 。。。 |
