Any dog can 'go bad' for lack of better term due to many reasons outside the owners control. Regardless to how the dog has been raised, regardless to how it has behaved before or how well it has gotten along with the kids or other dogs. It can still happen, with ANY breed, not just Pits.

That being said and taken into consideration, if it happens with Pits and other certain breeds, that is a dog that poses a HUGE physical threat and has the body structure, size and strength to inflict some serious damage on anything standing in it's way if an when it happens. There is no amount of nurturing, training and observation that can change that fact. Is it unfortunate? Yes, but that just one of the factors you have to be willing to deal with.

I think that Pits have had a great disservice done to them because of so many idiots that end up owning them, but it is what it is. And for the record, I am VERY educated on the breed...more so than alot of Pit owners that I have met in my time. I have seen loving Pits, I know how they *can* be. But I've also seen the other side of them too and it's not pretty.
