I've met plenty of pitties, and I can remember two that were not so good. One was in a sketchy neighborhood locked in a car. The other was a puppy with a lot of energy who was being a little too aggressive at the dog park and had to go home. Other than that, all the pitties I've met have been delightful. Perhaps a little shy, but really funny. One time my 35 lb blue heeler didn't like how a 110 lb pit mom was playing rough with her 106 lb pit son, so he decided to break it up. The son took off and cowered by the fence. The mom stood her ground. She and my dog had a growling/snapping match until I broke it up. Nothing happened, but if it had, it would have been my dog's fault.

PETA kills more than 90% of the animals that come into their shelters. CrossingTheRubicon Mar 2019 #40
That is sad. Why don't they sterilize them instead of killing them? Blue_true Mar 2019 #45
