I think anyone wanting to own one should go through some sort of training
first to evaluate them to see if they have the qualifications that it takes
to train them. Look up any shelter, pound etc and you will see there are
more pit bulls in them than even mixed breeds. There has to be a reason
for this. Normal people can not handle them. If you breed them you know
them and how to handle them but for the average person this breed should
should not be taken lightly. They can be dangerous. It's a know fact.
Some counties do not allow them in. If your caught you get fined and
they take the dog or you have to re-home it out of the county. I know Fla.
is one state that has counties in it that will not allow them in. I know there
are good and responsible owners but that does not make this breed trustworthy
IMO. I feel sorry for them because of the lablel that has been attached to them
but rightfully so.

you said what I wanted to say - I'm scared of them too....
I'm careful of ALL dogs when walking my girls - I may be overprotective but have read too many sad stories about small breeds being attacked so I pick mine up all the time when I see any dog.....even small breeds - I introduce my girls VERY slowly and hold them on their leash up against me in case the other dog wants a bite out of them..
I know people always blame the breeders and owners of agressive dogs but in reality - we never really know what triggers them to attack other dogs....sometimes I feel it's just instinct but then I'm no expert that's for sure
