Most of the people I've known with pits didn't get them just to have a wonderful pet. Unfortunately, because of the pits reputation, I think a lot of people get them for like guard dogs. One day me and my daughter were at Petsmart and there was a guy there with his pit puppy. My daughter asked if she could pet him and the guy said "No, I'm teaching him not to be friendly with people." With those kind of attitudes I don't know what you can expect from the pit. I visited an LA animal shelter site on the internet one day and the shelter was FULL of pits. It's very sad.
