PS, isn't it a wonder what poor backyard breeding can to a dog line. There's so much aggressiveness bred into so many of the pit lines it would take a few decades to breed them all back to "nice".
Yep, in the old days pits that showed aggression to people were culled immediately, part of the reason if was told being that officials at dog fights had to be able to reach in to separate the dogs when needed, the other part of the reason being a bad pit was a danger to everybody.
Pits were so trusted that in the South especially you gave one to your kids to keep them safe, like Petey in the Little Rascals.
