I also agree with #1 and #3. Here's my own 2 cents. Yes, I think they can be just as sweet as any other dog. But dog breeds like them that were bred for many years to be fighting dogs, naturally have more of that instinct...to be dog aggressive. That doesn't mean that they will be, of course. But I think they should only be owned by responsible pet owners. Of course that really applies to any dog!! A dog like pit bulls and many other breeds like german shepards, akitas, rottweilers, etc. can be pretty strong willed and will most likely require a firm owner with plenty of training and socialization. That said, ANY breed of dog can be a wonderful, sweet, loving dog! It's not the breed that determines the dogs complete disposition, it's the owner.

And it really pisses me off how societry portrays some of the dog breeds. It's not fair at all! People think huskies are mean too! We went to petsmart and I had like 5 people ask me if Nebo was mean or if he would bite!! They didn't ask that once about Lady! And Nebo was being much more well-behaved then she was, lol.

I've met several dogs of the "mean" breeds, and oh boy they sure were "mean." I met a pit bull puppy a long time ago, and it was the sweetest little pup you'd ever see! And all of the rottweilers have just been big overgrown babies, lol. My uncle has one, and oh no, she might lick me to death!! Ahh! There was (what looked like) a black pit/lab mix puppy running loose in the park today, and she sure was cute! She really wanted to play with Nebo, but she was too big of a wuss to get close enough, lol.
