Pit bulls, by all accounts are gentle dogs. Certainly more gentle than chihuahuas, which are often vicious, or dalmations, which tend to be nervous. They don't deserve this.
I have a pitbull. She's nicer than our beagles. She's sweeter than lots of dogs. She'll stop doing whatever she's doing if you look at her disaprovingly. She's basically a wuss. However, I know better than to walk her by myself (I've got MISERABLE upper-arm strength) because I KNOW that she's not good with non-family people and other dogs. It's not that hard to realize your dog's limits.
I know she kinna doesn't count though, because of her unusual upbringing. She had alot of worms and such, so she got carried everywhere and babied.
