It is all about the way a dog is raised. If you get a puppy make sure you meet the parents and see their temperment. Socialize the puppy A LOT with all kinds of animals and people. I see a lot of pits come into my shelter and I have loved almost all of them. I would never leave a big dog alone unattented with a smaller dog though. No matter what the breeds. I have seen a lot of labs that have attacked or killed other dogs and bite children in my county. I have not had a call about a pit attacking a dog or person yet. If you are a good owner and train your dog you will be fine. It is the people who tie a dog outside and don't socialize it that have problems.
I do not believe in banning a breed, just ban bad owners from having animals period! |
