I’m glad you found a place that would take Penny. It was good of the manager to meet her before making a decision.
A pit may be more prone to be what I call the bitey type but it all comes down to how they are treated and trained.
I know a man who breeds pit bulls, his are all brindles.
His dogs are very well trained and ride around in the bed of his truck.
When he sells a dog he researches the prospective buyer.
His first call is to the police department and the second call is to social services.
If there is any indication the dog may be abused, taught to be over aggressive or to fight he refuses to sell to that person.
He has a waiting list for his dogs.
I think the ASPCA did a check on me before letting me adopt Penny.
Also I was given a little paper that told me her background. She belonged to a young man who went off to college, and the man’s family did not want Penny. (I can’t IMAGINE anyone not wanting her). I guess it was meant to be, because if they had kept Penny till her Human came home from College, I would never have gotten her!
Que sera, sera! :-)
