Can you tell I don't care for them, get yourself a golden retriever, you will never be happier.

with ya on this. just don't understand the need to argue genetics. if you want to bring a dog that has generations of attack and kill in its genetics into your home don't be surprised when many folks fail to believe you have somehow unlocked the key to making it safe.
not sure if it's arrogance or foolishness that causes some folks to think they can buck a trend established in genetics.
and it's not just pit bulls that have a bad rap. chessies do as well. my daughter was nipped on the lip by a buddies chessie when she got too close to his face at a party. half dozen adults within two feet of her when it happened and all of a sudden there is blood running down her face and she's terrified. Happy household, 4 people, a lab to play with and plenty of socialization. But he's a chessie and it's not a real surprise when a chessie acts out like that.
