Pits have a strong competitive nature and and were originally bred for wild boar hunting. If they are conditioned to use that energy in a negative way you could have problems but if they are conditioned/trained to use it for playing ball and other activities you will have a fun loving well adjusted dog like our boy Harry.
As stated so many times, It's the owner not the breed!

Re: Pit Bulls and their bad rap
It's very irritating that most people assume pit bull=vicious baby eating attack machine. We just adopted our third and every time you tell somebody and they ask the breed they get that "look". It's sad, I wouldn't trade my dogs for anything, they are great pups, but because they are "pit bulls" people assume they are going to eat me someday. They are sweet, funny and I love muscular athletic dogs, add a nice medium size and short hair and they are perfect for us. There's definitely tons of overbreeding, for all the wrong reasons and most of these dogs going to the worst situations possible, they are todays bad breed and attract people who want a tough dog. The piss poor owners don't help, I know of 4 other pit bull owners in town and none of them seem to own a leash and every one has asked to breed to my dogs, who are unpapered fixed rescues and possibly mutts.
