Good for you and good luck with whatever you decide. I am of the opinion that any dog can be a good or bad dog depending on how you raise and treat them. My nephews both have pits, all rescues and they are are big, lovable goofs. My husband and I got chased one day on our bikes by a huge, black pitt. We chose to stop and he came up, wiggled and rolled over on his back. We had a running/cycling partner with us for the next two miles. He got to the river, took a swim and went home. Amber looks like a sweetheart! Keep us posted.
