I respect them and love them! It depends on the raising and breeding of them, that is why I hate BSL! They are actually several breeds called pit bull,
Staffordshire Bull Terrier (called the 'Nanny dogs' )

I love them. Due to high pain tollerence they are usually good with children. I think they are incredibly cute!
