Hey...We own a pittie. Our grown daughter has a pittie. Our grown son and his wife have a pittie.
They are good dogs and make excellent pets. Ours sleeps with one of our kids every night.
We also have a 3 lb Chihuahua. He’s the one to worry about.
I’m still eagerly waiting to read a news story about a pack of feral chihuahuas mauling an individual to death.
Please read the thread, from post #2
Congratulations. While most of them are fine enough dogs you’ve decided that it makes sense to buy something with the potential to do serious damage if it has a bad day when there are many other alternatives that do not have the ability to be so destructive. It makes absolutely no sense to introduce risk that you do not have to introduce given how many other breads there are out there that do not have the destructive potential that a pit has. What is the point? Unless you have to impress the local gangster population or have real serious security issues there is no point. You are just taking a needless risk just like all of the other fine people whose pits have “never hurt a fly” before they injure or kill someone. Again that is a small minority of dogs but if you choose to take the risk you shouldn’t be shocked by the outcome.
