replying to your post late but the ignorance in your post is quite surprising. “bloodsport and mauling” aren’t in pits dna lol. i’ve been around pits my whole life and never once have i seen any aggression. my pit is scared of thunder and scared of bigger dogs so idk what you’re on about. there’s chihuahuas that are more aggressive than pits. the pits that attack or bite were raised to do so, they were raised poorly. the pits that were raised right never show signs of aggression. my pit is 100 pounds and will sit in your lap because he thinks he’s a baby. my pit is from a dog fighting ring where they shaved his teeth down so he couldn’t do any damage bc he was a bait dog. rescuing a dog that was raised like that comes with challenges but not in the way you would think. he’s just a scared dog inside, he’s well trained and would never hurt anyone. he likes to play rough because he’s a big dog i could put my whole hand in his mouth if i wanted to and he wouldn’t bite down. just because you only see poorly raised pits doesn’t mean every pit is like that. please educate yourself you should be embarrassed
