I agree with this 100%. They make wonderful family dogs. They can be a bit stubborn so the proper training is important. Either way, my APBT is incredibly intuitive when it comes to how I am feeling and if I am uncomfortable around certain people. Even though he is a huge love bug, he is very intimidating to anyone who doesn't know him. He has a very deep, loud bark.
I hate the misconceptions out there about bully breeds, but I do think their reputations really do deter people from causing trouble when they know there is a pitbull in the house/yard/etc. I know that if I am out in the evening by myself walking my dog, no one is going to mess with me
Plus you get greeted by that pit bull smile....

the rep they have is a blessing and a curse. People intending to do harm think twice, but unfortunately so does everyone else around until they get to know the animal.
