And here is an article about the history of the breed. It goes in a little more depth than wiki. I've actually been meaning to go on wikki sometime to edit. The history is a little more than being bred for dog fighting, well actually a lot more. Its just all how much you want to read. There is so much information out there.

That site seems pretty good to me. it gives some pros and cons about the breed.

I guess I have been lucky in that I have never had a dog or human agressive pit in my care. I know the breed can be dog agressive, but I've just never had it. I also wouldn't allow for that behavior so maybe it is just what I put off to the dog.

Something to keep in mind is dog agressive does not mean human agressive. I have dealt with dog agression before, and none of these dogs ever showed human agression.

Okay, I'll step off the soap box now, lol. I go a little overboard sometimes.
