For anyone contemplating getting a pit there is nothing wrong with it. I would suggest that you do get your dog from a reputable breeder where you can trace the lines and know the temperment of the dog. We all know that this is a biggie with any dog you buy. They are wonderful dogs (I have had them in the past and my family still has two) and I would get another again if I didn't mind having a big dog in the house. In all the years of raising pits in our family I never have had a people aggressive dog unless you were attacking or threatening one of us. They can be a bit more aggressive towards a dog that is bigger than they are.
It's so true that there are many other dogs attacking from the smallest thing to the biggest but they tend to spotlight pitbull bites. Very sad that they get a bum rap all the time.
