Pit bull....

I was also somewhat concerned about the breed. That is until we went to the SPCA to get a friend for our Lab after his little chihuahua buddy had to be put down at 17 years old.

We took our lab to the SPCA and he found his new buddy, Ziggy, a 6 month old Red nose Coby mix (according to SPCA).

We've had him nearly 3 years and he is one of the best dogs I've ever had. The best part is he is "on guard" barely sleeping anytime I'm away from the house overnight. It's unbelievable how he knows I'm not home and feels he needs to protect my wife. When I come home he crashes knowing I'm home.

He play dog fights with our 8 year old Lab and hasn't once gotten out of hand.

Here he is with my wife and his brother Leo and having a Starbucks "puppy Latte".

I don't think you can go wrong, it's all in the way they are trained. Remember Petey on the Little Rascals was a Bull Terrier!!
