I have always heard that a Pit, if you get it as a puppy and train it properly, will be the best dog you could ever want. My nephew got one as a pup, took it to formal training classes, and that was one GREAT dog for 14 years until he put it down due to multiple ailments. That said - we would never have put our Golden Retriever in the same space as that Pit.
My understanding of this particular situation was that the young woman had ‘rescued’ these two Pits. They had been rescued once before and returned due to aggressive behavior. Anybody from the Richmond area who is familiar with the story, please correct me if I’m wrong.
In my back yard - very close to me - you are correct........
