educat yourself a little more on pits before you go saying they are just as good family pets as any other dogs

You're right... they're BETTER family pets than other dogs They have high pain tolerance, great bite inhibition (meaning they are highly unlikely to bite a human), and most greet strangers like long lost friends... no need to worry about them biting your kid's friend when they show up to play. YOU need to educate yourself on pit bulls... they were bred to be non-aggressive towards humans... leading to an extremely stable breed today. You don't hear about other breeds attacking kids walknig home from school because the media knows you won't be as interested in a poodle attack as you would be in a "pit bull" attack. SImple

Yes Goob, I like your style.
I am too abrasive, haha

Jlong,
Vets are trained on human anatomy for 4 years and then animal anatomy, not psychology or how to train animals.

If I was a doctor, would I be a psychologist also?

You training to get into the vet field really scares me.

PB aren't perfect. No dog is.
It is 100% the masters liability for the dog, in all cases. If it's a bit timid around people, "DON"T TAKE IT OUT IN PUBLIC"
if it has growled or bitten "PUT A MUZZLE ON IT"
if it is dog aggressive" DON'T TAKE IT TO PUBLIC PARKS"
if it jumps the fence when you let it out to pee " PUT IT ON A LEASH"
if kids poke it through the fence "DON'T LEAVE IT OUTSIDE UNSUPERVISED"

all common sense.

You are not an expert on dogs, let alone PB's.
