The key to owning a pit bull is being RESPONSIBLE! Responsible ownership is the ONLY way to safely own these animals. Most of the bloodline has been polluted with violence in one way or another so you can never tell what you are going to get.

My sister has 2, one is a big oaf! She bounds around with endless energy and would lick someone to death at the drop of a hat. The other is a bit temperamental. She is very cautious with him, he doesn't get to go around strangers and if he is, he is on a very tight, thick leash. She said that she doesn't think he would ever attack anyone, but it would be irresponsible to let him run loose. She just wants to be cautious, and can you blame her!

They are very loyal dogs and would give their lives to protect you. They are good with my nephew (is is 9, when they got Petey, my nephew was 5). You just have to be the right kind of owner.

Punish the deed, not the breed.

Please forget the pitbull, for everyone's sake. Even a good one is a time bomb waiting to explode.

Be CAREFUL! Yes, it depends on how you raise them, but sometimes situations can't be avoided. There was this guy who lived over a mile away from me, and he had 2 pit bulls-that were NOT used for fighting. The dogs got loose one day and came and killed all of my chickens, and then attacked me. I was one of the lucky people. The dog only got my leg, and I was able to escape without serious injury. The guy couldn't believe his pets had done that-but that is just what the dogs are bred for-and if a person can not devote their entire time to raising the dog properly you could be dealing with it attacking the neighbors pets or even the neighbors!

yes but due to recent studies and personal experience..its best to buy the dog when its a baby that way it can be usted to ur ways and behavior..because if you dog is older and had a previous owner that was abuser.the dog can turn on you and the people you love..but pits are know for their aggressiveness.due to the pit fights..but ive also known that pits are well gentle pets .so if you get a pit be kind to it or if you want to use it to fight ..due that.but whatever you push you dog into being.it will become that

Pitbulls are great dogs I have two and one is a Therapy Dog. I take him to hospitals to visit sick people and children. My other Pit is too hyper to be a Therapy dog so he's into Agility.
