Really there are no bad pits… Just owners! But the bad PR is here to stay.
I love dogs but even around pits I am cautious because YOU NEVER KNOW what the owner has taught that dog to be.

This is so true. Example – I was at dog beach in OB with friends (one of whom had a dog.) Two pitbull puppies came over. They were about 6-8 months old – so they were big enough to have some mass & muscle…. One started peeing in my beach bag, the other started peeing on my friend’s head (she was asleep, sunbathing.) Obviously we freaked out.
The owner made NO motion to get his pit bull pups away. No effort to chastise them, redirect them… etc. The owner was a jerk and was training his dogs to behave badly in public. He actually gave them affection/pets when we finally shooed them away from peeing on us and our stuff.
I’ve equated pitbulls with idiot/rude owners ever since. Unfortunately, my further encounters have reinforced this view. I don’t blame the dogs, I blame the owners.
