that was a bit rude don't you think. it is a known fact that Pits ARE great with children. If you take a step back from your judgements and actually research the breed itself and not the opinions you will find that they are in fact great family pets. they are gentle with children and were once even known as Nanny Dogs.
a few facts:
-pits are great therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, and bomb dogs. they are eager to please people and will do anything for them
-Petey from The little rascals was a pit
-the dog on little house on the prairie was a pit
-Helen Keller owned a pit
-The Pit Bull was America's mascot in both WWI and WWII
-There was a pit named Sgt. Stubby who became a war hero by saving his entire platoon and capturing a german spy while being wounded in action twice.
-Pit Bulls scored an 83.4% passing rate on the american temperament test. yorkies score an 82.1% (
