To own a Pit bull breed? I've been thinking about what breeds I might want in the future, have asked you guys and Pit Bulls never come up on my list. It's probably because I always ask for a dog friendly breed and I know it is common for Pit Bulls to be DA. But heck, maybe I'll just get one, it's fine with me as long as I have a dog who i can love. Or I could do what many of you do and just keep them separated while they can't be watched. I also say i want a large dog but they can be large (they will not be from breeders, they will be shelter dogs). I know you have to take a lot of $h!t from people but i almost want to as i walk my beautiful, well behaved, obedient dog by my side.
other than that what are these breeds like? Energy, training, with cats, with kids, with strangers etc. Grooming requirements, common health problems and any other personality things about them. Also is there any difference in temperament between the three most common pit Bull breeds (Amstaff, APBT, Staffys)?
I've really been considering them for my next dog (keep in mind I'm 15, we got a lot of years before I'm through high school, college and able to support a dog on my own).
