Mine is seven years old and is one of the gentlest of the twenty or so dogs I’ve ever owned. Pit Bulls are bred to please. They will do what they are trained to do. If you don’t train them to attack and don’t let them be abused they are as gentle as collies.

Funny how nearly every article about one going berserk has the owner saying something similar....

Put bulls are bred to kill, if that’s pleasing to you so be it.

Lassie is a most protective breed! I was warned in school many years ago about the bite issues with various dogs while making service calls in peoples homes and yards. The only dog that ever bit me was a scotty that trembled the whole time I was there and bit my calf as I left. I had a homeowner think it was acceptable to have his growling dobie within lunge reach. I told him the dog had to go or I would. I had an attempted assault from a boxer, smacked him down with a heavy screw gun.

Any dog is as unpredictable as any person.

Our pit bull is a sweetheart's sweatheart ... She just wants affection. I'm only afraid she might lick somebody to death.

My beagle, on the other hand, was so vicious that she had to be put down. :(
