I've had pit bulls since I was in 9th grade...this is not a bad breed just misunderstood characteristics. These dogs need a firm owner who is willing to be in command at all times. Pits like to push the envelope until showed otherwise. Once you've showed them how things are gonna work it's literally your best buddy from there. Pits have energy so they need excessive exercise to keep that energy down, and just that alone completely changes how they act, opposed to keeping them cooped up all day. That goes for any dog though just not pits. You should see my dogs when they see a baby...they literally change there whole demeanor, like they can tell it's just a little baby. It's weird to see them become so gentle when they are just wrecking balls usually.

I wouldn't get another breed personally, they do just fine in my household and actually my dogs have changed more than a few minds on how people view pits. Not to mention I truly think our dogs are a staple that holds my family together.
