I will sound like a hypocrite here but.. I would not get a Pit period!
I have a German Shepherd and he is a huge baby with us and Diesel. He is still on the fence about Keira tho. She is really hyper and so when he sees her coming he runs and hides.
When it comes to Pits tho I have my concerns. I know a lot depends on their breeding and I have come across several very friendly Pits. I also have one that has been coming in my yard that will growl as I chase it out.
Yes, the media loves to blow things way out of proportion but the recent attacks have really happened. Everyone will have a different opinion on this subject that's for sure. I just don't like Pits and to be honest just don't trust the breed. Even Cesar Millan has a Pit that has growled at him before. I think my biggest concern would be your son. Above all else I would protect him FIRST. If this is something that your husband really wants be sure and search around for a good breeder. One that breeds for a good temperament. Good Luck I hope it all works out. |
