I don't care for these dogs. Here in Dayton they are owned/fought by dope dealers. We get numerous calls a day that one of these lovable pooches is running through the neighborhood biting kids,killing smaller dogs. We have a law here that the owner has to keep the pit in a 6' tall kennel with a roof and carry 1 million dollars worth of insurance on them. Of course the pieces of sh*t that own these dogs don't abide by these laws and they get out and terrorize the neighborhoods.I have seen the end result from the 3 year old that tugged ol Fido's ear and it snapped and he gets 300+ stitches and a scarred face.

I had a friend that had a pit. I was around it quite a bit,it almost changed my mine on the breed. He had him from a pup and never mistreated it. He had to take it to his mom's after he moved,and it got of the leash and killed a dog someone was walking.To each his own,but watch your kids!
