Well, some pit bulls might be nice dogs, but why take the chance and instead go for a breed that you know won't hurt you? I've met a very very sweet rottwieler before, but a week later, another rottwieler bit my cousin on his hand, and he still has a scar. So, you cant say that all fighting dogs are sweet. it depends on the dog. you have to be careful with these breeds. The dog that bit my cousin was also a family dog, like the one that tried to bite me. I'm just going to stay with breeds that have no fighting background.
