A well BRED well RAISED pit is prob the best fam pet u will find .. They rank very high in breeds least likely to bite in the nation ,, 2 reason they get a bad rap ,, 1 the media luvs to say " in local news a vicious pitbull attacked such n such " for ratings an shock value , but they rarely show a pic of said "pit" , an when they do 9x outta 10 it's a mixed breed that may have a slight look of a pit simply because of a raised top dome lol ,,, and 2 the majority of people that own this breed are lowlife scumbags that raise them to be aggressive , pits are that loyal they can b trained to b azzholes much like the owners ... It really is a sad thing That's happened to a breed once known as the nations dog..
