I would consider myself a dog person. Right now I have 3 lazing around the room while everyone else is asleep. We have 6 dogs, 3 of them rescues. One of those is a Doberman that has a very protective urge that I am working on getting a handle on.
I have been around a few pits. One was a buddy's in college. Definitely one of the most obedient dogs I have ever been around. Another is a client's dog that has been raised with kids all over on a ranch.
Honestly, I would/did trust these dogs personally. Not with my kid.
I would consider getting a pit or perhaps rescuing one later in life when there are no small people around. Never when there are kids around regularly. I have seen the prey drive kick in with these dogs. Incredible drive and aggression. Incredible focus to go along with that and it's an unreal combination.
