pitbulls

I've always thought the same. My dog's been attacked once, and lunged at twice, I can assure you, it was the owner's faults.

I don't see anything wrong with what Brody's Mom said. There are some dogs that are well known for not being "beginner" breeds, and the pit bull would typically fall into that classification. That doesn't mean that they are bad dogs, it just means it takes someone who understands the breed and knows what they entail.

For the average dog, there is a small scale of forgiveness for novice ownership. Not for pit bulls. If you make a mistake with a pit bull, the whole breed suffers.

So yes, in the right hands, they make superb pets. In the wrong hands, they'll end up just another statistic.

Just my two cents.
