"It is important for folks to know who they are listening too. I am not the foremost expert in anything, but I am someone who is willing to give back to the pit bull by educating the pit bull community. I do not sell products on my sites, I do not sell dogs, I am not promoting anything but the information itself!" -SEDOWD
