It's not really about the dog itself it's a lot about why an owner would specifically choose the dog that has this reputation. People say it's a "violent" breed, which is pretty much nonsense but nonetheless if someone believes it and specifically picks this breed it's a massive yikes
I would caution, pitbulls are exceptionally strong and have a tendency to not know their own strength and play rough. I do feel if you're gonna get one you have a duty to train it well because it can injury people, even without misbehaving.
Yes totally, when I said they're not inherently violent it's not that they're not dangerous it's that they aren't more genetically predisposed to aggressivity than any other breed
I have 3 pitbull girfriends that are total love sponges. Not mine but friends family and they can be the sweetst things.
Yeah it's all about how you raise them, a lot of people don't realise that tho and get pitbulls because they fantasize about owning a killing machine
