[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 175342, member: 45"] I have personal experience with pits. I used to foster puppies for Stray Rescue. There were a lot of Pits because there was a big fighting ring in the "bad part of town." Some of the strays were vicious and had to be sent away to intensive obedience school, some had to stay with very experienced, specially trained fosters because they weren't adoptable. The puppies, we never had a problem and never heard of problems with any that were adopted out. We kept one that's part pit and part american bulldog. He is very gentle, and submissive. When we go to the petstore he lays down on his back for any dog, even little bitty dogs. Having said that, he is ALWAYS on a leash unless he's in our fenced back yard, and the kids are not allowed back in his yard unless we are there too. He doesn't go to dog parks and play with other dogs. We took him to obedience school. He's never, never unsupervised with little kids. Usually if it's a new kid or one who won't leave him alone, we put the dog in another room. If he did bite someone, even if he was playing, he could do a lot more damage with his big strong jaws than our vicious chihuahua, who has been known to bite a few people's ankles who dare come in our front door. You have to be extra vigilant with a dog that size and build. But, he is nowhere near vicious. [/QUOTE]
