It’s not just my opinion, its fact that they make good pets and are fine with kids. Dogs respond to training and treatment. Visit here

And yet pit bulls and rottweilers lead the breed stats on human attacks and killings Some rattlesnakes make good pets too - doesn't mean that it's appropriate to have one. In fact I can help wonder at the deliberate blindness shown by some of the apologists for the breed here on FR. If the breed has a marked tendency to maul and kill why have one? I don't see sheep dogs or golden retrievers having so many people defending them. Hmmm I wonder why. You recon it's because they don't have a well deserved reputation for being vicious and don't need defending?

Apparently not all breeds respond with the same degree of success or you would see no particular breed standing out in the dog bite stats.
