the American Pitbull terrier is one of the most loyal breeds there are. That said it is like any other dog and it's owners if ignorant can make for a nasty dog. Look at all the nasty unmannered children running the streats, with no respect and you will see that the owners, or parents are the problem...not the dog. Punish the deed not the breed. I don't feel that all blacks are bad just because they cause most of the crime in my city. A dog can never make you tough, and there are plenty of breeds that would decimate a pittbull, but the media says they are bad so that's what the sheep will believe.. Baa you bitches...
