Yup, that's what I was going to say. Not that I would walk up to someone and tell them their dog is ugly, though, that's just plain rude! That's just as bad as walking up to someone's child and telling the parent how ugly it is. It's just rude. I personally never say "ugly", but some dogs are just more appealing to me than others

But yes, unfortunately stereotypes are going to follow pitties no matter where they go and unfortunately people choose to listen to these stereotypes and the media instead of forming their own opinion. But that's why we need more people like your sister out there with well behaved pitties to change their opinion when they meet one on the street

Besides, most people couldn't correctly identify a pittie if they saw one lol I've had people think that a lab was a pit before, simply because of its broad head.
