I love pitties and rotties!! I rescued a pittie I found at the dump and she was a great companion for my newly adopted, un-socialized greyhound. We lost about 3 tv/vcr remotes until we learned to put them out of reach. Later she helped me raise 2 puppies (not at the same time). She was extremely loyal and sweet. I let my ex take her in the divorce and he told me that she did get a little aggressive toward other dogs at the dog park.

A few years ago some neighbors rescued an abused pittie. She is gorgeous and sweet and now completely spoiled. Sadly she is obese and very strong and has caused the husband to break his hip TWICE! They refuse to use the prong collar the correct way and it drives me nuts.

Anyway, correct handling goes a long way because any dog has the potential to harm.

Years ago I had a vet tell me the only dog breed they would not treat was Chow chow. It doesnt mean they are all bad, in fact I had one stay with me for 2 years while his mom finished school and he was the sweetest thing.
