My oppion,bits are protectif over their owners.Im a proud owner of 6 pits which are good with my kids and family.now if someone tries to hurt my kids or me then they become agrrsive.a domation will turn on you quicker than a pit.if people would read books about dogs then they would no that.all my dogs live in my houseand there like my kids to.people shouldnt down a pit cause any dog can be protectif.ankel biters will bit any thing bigger than them.
