I have a girlfriend with two pit bulls. They are super sweet and very well behaved and I have no problem being around them in her home. But.... would I ever have one? No. It is a shame what has been done to that breed but the fact is they were bred for fighting. Breeds bred to be companions such as Maltese tend to be lap dogs, breeds bred to hunt water fowl love to swim and assuming a breed will not exhibit the traits that the breed was bred for seems risky to me.
