Ive known many pits in my life, and all have been nothing but sweet, kind, laid back and friendly. The owners of these dogs were very strict with training and used a no tolerance policy with them. They got punished for ANY kind of acting out and as a result they were/are very docile dogs. I think it does/could take a heavy training path with more punishment than reward in the begining but my brothers pit/lab mix plays with my dogs all the time! At first I was scared, but after I saw how much she tolerates and never even growls I felt more comfortable. I'd NEVER leave them to play unsupervised but she is really good around them and such a sweet sweet dog. He has 2 pit mixes, but he got the second when he moved cross country. They are both really sweet goofy dogs and very loving!
