YES!

Pitt Bulls are very good pets. They are also good companions for people between the ages two and up. Pitt Bulls can last in the cold weather and are also loving and loyal. If trained right they can even protect your household. This is coming from a person with experience with Pitt Bulls. Pitt Bulls are the most unique dog you can ever have as example was one of the people who entered the dog show of 2007 and with my Pitt Bull I won 25,000$! It was the best experience I ever had.

As they said above pit bulls are very good pets. I had two and they were very sweet dogs. It is people that make them mean.


Pitt Bulls Are awesome, sweet, and cuddly! They are like this when they are treated nicely.

American Pit bull Terriers (or pit bulls) are one of the most naturally people friendly breeds you can find. They were bred for fighting which involves handling the dog a lot during the course of a fight. Dogs that bit the opposing dogs handler were not bred or even culled. A dog fighter would be banned from bringing dogs to the ring his dogs were a threat of biting the other owner. As a result, the disgusting sport of dogfighting created dogs that are one of the least human aggressive you can find.

Police have actually found it hard to train pit bulls as police dogs because they are so friendly.

Basically it takes a lot of abuse to make a pit bull mean which is unfortunately very common among many of the people who are drawn to the breed due to their unfair reputation of being killers. These dogs were born friendly and sweet and were turned through neglect and abuse.

The biggest issue (mean or nice) with pit bulls is dog agressiveness. Breeding for temperment and socializing when they are young increases the chance to eliminate dog agression in a pit bull.

As they were bred to fight and kill other dogs would you trust one with your kids?

There have been many cases of children receiving severe maulings from pitbulls that were the family pet. Children have been maimed and even killed in these attacks.

I do not recomend this breed if you have children.

My mom has 11 pittbulls and i have 2 and they are all very good dogs. I have 2 kids living in my home they are 3 and 6 and they love my pittbulls as I do and I think if you show them love they will return it 100 times back, but I do know that there have been cases where they have been bad so study them and choose carefully whether or not to buy one. If you breed them don't let just any one with the money take one in case because its a big responsability to on a pitbull.

No, it really depends on how it is brought up, so if a pitt bull is very badly behaved in many ways then it is because it has a bad owner.
