Getting an actual honest answer from a pit owner would go a long ways.

I own a pit. Not full pit, pit/lab mix, but you can definitely see the pit in her head. My wife found this dog trying to survive on eating straw near a baseball field when she was 8 weeks old. My wife didn't say "Oh my god a pittbull!" She saw a dog that needed a home and took it in.

She's the most well behaved submissive dog (around humans) I've ever been around. The only times she shows aggression is when another dog at a dog park tries to dominate her. My cousin's lab, on the other hand, attacked him and put him in the hospital, so there's that.

I don't know what makes a dog go bad, maybe it's the breed, maybe it isn't. That being said, I get nervous when I see ANY dog around ANY baby, both for the child and the dog.
