Mine was very ill and it took several trips to the vet for lots of testing, poking and prodding. They told me that they never even considered sedating her because she was so good and let them do anything they wanted. Very rare for any breed. At home she is a cuddle bug.
Pitbulls are deadly, because they were bread to have EXTREMELY strong jaw muscles... and people have breed them for fighting and protection dogs.
But that being said, it's all about how they're raised, trained and being treated.
If you want to talk about unprovoked dogs, look at those tiny dogs! They bite a hell lot more people than the big dogs! They just get away with it because they are cute, tiny and do less damage.
Also, people always claim they're the victim and we're unprovoked, no matter if it was a dog or human attacking them, and often times if there is video proof, they're lying, and they did provoke.
And a ton of humans don't know dogs and how they react and could provoke them while just playing and think they're not provoking.
Pitbulls are dangerous because they're big and powerful... and not often enough to people train and treat them well.
But if they're raised well, trainer well, and treated well, they can also be the sweetest and kindest and best dogs ever!
I've had some big dogs charge me and scare the hell out of me, but they never bit me...
I have been many times through... always by the little dogs. And the owners don't care, because they're cute...
I think they aren’t for everyone. They seem to have a harder time with other dogs than people. They need a lot of exercise. Like most pets, it’s mostly up to how responsible and loving the owner is.
