NO!!!
We have a female rescue pit my fiancee got in the split with his ex wife. Out of our 3 dogs, she is the most gentle, polite, graceful and even demeanored- 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time she is unpredictable and will attack to kill.
In a year together with my little doggie, she has now attacked him 3 times, once very seriously to where we thought we couldn’t get him away from her. Today she attacked and my fiancee was getting home just in time to run to the rescue. Right now he is injured from trying to get her off my dog, my dog is injured from the attack and I’m at a loss what to do.
My advice to anyone considering a pit bull is to get it from a professional breeder that breeds for good temperaments and doesn’t do “junkyard” breeding. A rescue pit that’s been previously neglected or abused might be better off as the lone household pet and I’d never chance one around children. These dogs are so incredibly powerful that once in attack/defend or whatever mode, they will not stop.
