So you say that your 2 barked and went crazy when they realized a dog was in the next yard, what did the Pit do? Was he barking and straining at the leash, or did he behave and listen to the person holding him? Although I would NEVER let my kids play with or be around such a large dog, I wouldn't judge this dog simply based on his breed.
Starting out on the right foot with your new neighbors will go a long way in keeping the harmony in the neighborhood. We have more trouble in our area with small dogs constantly barking 24/7 and owners that just open the front door and let them out to roam then with any of the big dogs. Good Luck!
