First of its Pit Bull, not Pitbull. Don't worry, many people get that wrong.

What do I think?

There driven, intelligent, loyal, beautiful, biddable,sweet , goofy, I could go on for hours on how great they are.

They are dog aggressive(DA). It's not because it has bad genetics, it isn't because it was poorly bred, it's in the nature. It's like how Border Collies were breed to herd sheep. At American Pit Bull Terriers(APBT) fought Bulls(AKA bull baiting). That became illegal,& they fought dog-on-dog. They kept on breeding for this trait(aggression). Eventually it was made the breed today- The American Pit Bull. You can't breed it out, you can't prevent it. You can control it.

There lovely dogs, don't get me wrong. I love them loads. And not all APBTs will be dog aggressive& there are ones in shelters that are not DA. Some lines tend to be less DA.

Research , research, research if your ever considering the breed. They are NOT a breed for everyone.
