Theres no bad pitbulls...just bad people...

I've had a lot of dogs in my life. All kinds... German Shepherds, Rotties, Great Danes, an Akita and now an American Bull Dog (they are not pits, more like a Mastiff).

Meanest one was my wife's Chihuahua. It would hang from the neck of my Great Dane by its teeth. It could not be with other dogs, so it was "rehomed" to my cousin and now its fine.

I've stayed away from the Pitties though. IMHO, they've been breed to fight and somewhere along the line, that may come out. I looked at a Pit to adopt once and he was fine until he say another dog in the distance... completely across the park. The dog went berserk and I politely said "no thanks" to the shelter. They agreed and even said "this one might not be adoptable". Basically a death sentence...

I do think that most is the environment that they are raised in... But breeding is breeding.. and there is a lot of bad breeding out there. The Pits are probably one of the worst examples with them being breed by people that shouldn't be breeding dogs. Read that as the people that have fighting dogs.... and there's a lot more dog fighting than a lot of people think.
