Do you like Pit Bulls?

They are not my kind of breed, but I love them all the same. They have great characteristics and are great when trained properly and when they are owned by a firm and confident person.

Love them! I've been volunteering at the animal shelter for 5 years now.. the nicest dogs I've ever met were Pit Bulls. Such wonderful dogs!

I think they're awesome dogs, but I wouldn't go out of my way to own one...as the breed is known to be dog aggressive and that's not a quality I desire to have work with. (I'm not naive enough to think that there aren't breeds NOT prone to dog aggression that could be that way, but the breeds that are known for it just aren't for me.) The pits I have met, though, are wonderful with people. They are gorgeous dogs and there really isn't anything comparable to a well bred well taken care of pit bull, they're outstanding.

I like pitbulls. I like how Cesar Millan seems to be obessesed with restoring their general image to a breed that is very misunderstood. Anyone see that last episode with the "dueling pitbulls" which was awesome by the way? My guess is that a lot of pits are mistreated horribly which is what contributes to aggressive behavior rarely seen in the news, yet always a headline.

"I think he's cute." - the dude from the movie White Fang, referring to a purebred pit forced to fight

My dog Tatum is a lab/shar pei mix (shar pei being the fighting breed of China, so somewhat like a pit I suppose) and is a rescue with a perfect temperament. My young nephews and niece occasionally (all under age 7) often play rough with Tatum, yet Tatum always remains friendly Tatum with the kiddos. We love ya big aunt Tate.

I love them. There is a very good chance my next dog will be a rescued pit bull or pit bull mix, or a purebred American Staffordshire Terrier. (Which if you ask me is the same breed. Many others will disagree.) Either that or a Dalmatian!

By the way, there are already tons and tons of threads on pit bulls and am staffs.

They are BEAUTIFUL DOGS! And I love all dogs. Met some of the sweetest pits ever. Would I own one, NO. BUT that does not mean I dont like them. Their are plenty of dogs I would not own

Wow, there are a lot of you that love pitbulls. I am too a fan but no one I know likes them. I had two of them, great dogs. They'd get all excited when I came home from work, it's funny because I could go outside for just a minute, come back inside and they act like I was gone a long time. lol. My neighbor killed them both.

that is so sad
like I said, they are a very misunnderstood breed that is portrayed as a vicous killer by the media

You should have pressed charges.
