no offense man, but i doubt you can change my point of view. i've seen well raised pits attack their master FIRST HAND sending him to grady. this was my girlfriend's (at the time) dad. not a pretty sight, and definatly not something i'm going to get out of my mind anytime soon. pits, by nature, are very dominate. when threatened, they feel obligated to demonstrate their dominance. i've talked with ren (vet tech that also owns a pit) and those are words out of her mouth. she absolutly loves the dogs, but also realizes their nature. ANY dog, you have to respect. especially any dog with some kind of mass. pits are just a different kind of breed.
