No matter who or what you just can't allow yourself to trust a pitbull.. around children mostly. They are quite easily startled and fearful from behind and will feel aggressed confusing innocent play with attack. Kind of stupid that way.

Also love chasing after stuff like cats, and children on skateboards especially.

Currently own a pitbull with my family. Had two at one point. My old boy was 16 got sick and had to put him down.

Let me start of with saying. Never trust ANY DOG around young children. 1-4. Babies and temper tantrums sound exactly like prey animals. That's the issue. Any dog never relax around kids. Pitbull being animal agressive spark a primal response. So obviously never trust a pit un supervised around kids.

That said all my pit have been amazing. Believe it or not my schnauzer mut. Is the one I worry about. She is a small mut. Smaller than a pit. However she hates people. She will bite you if I dont stop her. I have an easier time getting my Pits to calm down around guests than my mut. Great guard dog tho.

My family has all sorts of big dogs growing up. Pits, Rottz, dobbies, sharks pie, akitas. The only dog to ever bite me was a rottweiler.

Story time.

Be mid 90's.

Living in So Cal

Dad wants a guard dog.

Head to LA County Pound.

Find adult male rott.

Hes huge. Big Boy.

Kind mean. Staff scared.

To my Dad perfect.

Take him home and find out right way.

Hes is very behaved, knows commands.

Still kinda stand offish but a good boy.

Week later I'm in the living room with Buddy.

I'm sitting next to him.

I put my arm around his neck hugging him.

I get cheek to cheek.

He turned his neck snapped and put a hole in my cheek.

Instantly stop and acted like he was in trouble.

Like I said we had that dog for another 12 years or so.

He was such a good boy.
