as far as i can remember i was never really afraid of any dog, when i was little. i was 3 then (now 31) and i stood between 2 fully grown great danes, and my mom almost had a heart attack. LOL i used to be afraid of pitbulls in my 20's, but that has changed since i had read all the articles about mis conceptions of the pitts. n0w i own an American Staffordshire mix and im not afraid of pits anymore.
