POLL: Opinions on Pitbulls(the breed)?

[bookworm530]

I think they're a good Breed... we have two Pitt-Mastiff mix girls currently here on the ranch.

We got them as rescue-puppies, and they've been raised as family dogs. They used to sleep in the house on our daughters' beds (now they spend Winter in our office and Summers on the porch)... they are just big goofy loving dogs. They're very social with guests... AND guest dogs. They get along VERY well with our horses, they don't torment our goats / sheep. They're also trained to respond to family voices, and OBEY commands.

We're also smart enough to have an area to put them during high-energy events like BBQs... 40+ guests might be too much for ANY dog, so they go in a nice 1/4 acre run down by our barn.

Just FYI - we have a total of 7 dogs - we also have a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix male who is buddies with the two Pitt-Mastiff girls. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees who spend their time out in our pastures watching over our sheep and goat herds, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who live in the Barn / Stables with our Dairy Cows / Horses.
