Sure, there are plenty of stories of sweet pit bulls that never hurt a flea and they are true. I know of such dogs. Still, why would you want to take the risk and liability of owning a breed that is well known for turning w/o warning and mauling people and other dogs, often w tragic results.

In shelters, a large percentage of the abandoned or stray dogs are pit bull mixes. That is because of the unfortunate fact that most dog breeding decisions are made by dogs.
