If I ever got a pit I'd be very careful as to where it came from and its temperment.
I agree. I've heard that how you raise it plays a bigger role but genetics still do play a part.

Personally, I think they're just like any other dog. Although, I have met more mean Chihuahuas, Labs and Cockers than Pits (actually, I've never met a mean Pit yet). I'm sure there ARE mean Pits just as there are mean dogs of any other breed.
