I would like to add this thought:
I think its important that we remember there is always exceptions. Of course there are going to be some pitbulls that have made wonderfuls pets. Any opinons about pitbulls are just generaliztions formed from all the bad publicity we have seen on the news and tv or personal encounters. So I hope no one that has a pitbull on this forum gets offended. Im sure many pitbull owners have never had problems with thier pitbull and unfortunately that wont make the news. We only hear the bad stuff. I think its good to be openminded about that kind of stuff, and hope others reading this thread consider that too
