    I worked at a pet store for many years. There were many pits who came in regularly and they were wonderful. The one I miss the most was a huge male Staffie. He wasn't tall, he was broad and muscular with a HUGE head. Blue brindle, intact male, cropped ears. He looked terrifying. Or he would have until you noticed that he was wiggling from the nose back, and if you made eye contact he would just collapse in a heap on your feet and ask for a belly rub. The only dangerous part about him was his tail. I got a few bruises from that tail.

    I have a red pit. He's 87 pounds of stupid.

    He walks into walls, falls up the stairs, and cries if he doesn't know where my youngest is. Seriously, if she ever goes to summer camp, I'm gonna have to buy ear plugs.

    AAAHH!!! There's another one. I thought my Zen was the only dog to fall UP the stairs. And he's run into a few doors/walls too. He's not very bright but he's very sweet. He tries hard.

    my Lola falls up the stairs all the time...she just gets so excited and next thing I know she's half up the stairs on her back with this WTF? How did I do that? Look on her face...it's SO cute.

    This is Noodles, my 6 yr old Staffordshire Terrier (AKA pitbull) 45 lbs of solid muscle, and very sweet and affectionate.

    She's all black except for one toe on her "passenger side" left foot, go figure!

    WITH EYEBROWS!

    Not only did she sit still for the makeup (silver eyeliner), but also for the photos!

    I am glad to see that there are many loving, respectable pit bull owners using MFP. My first reaction to this post was to say they should be banned.... I am sorry, you all care about your dog and appear to have good animals. Where I live (safe, rural North Dakota), every person that owns a Pit Bull lives in a meth house, only come out at night, and leave the dog chained up all day with no water. or they are people that just want to appear "tough" and again, don't take care of their dog. I do NOT have a good impression of these dogs, and still would never go near one, nor let my children near one. Yes, stupid people have stupid dogs and do stupid things. ... those people have stupid kids (if the dogs doesn't eat them first).

    I also agree on the small dogs "or yippee" dogs as we call them. Totally useless!

    I prefer my Golden Retriever to any dog I've had I also have 2 black labs - Good for hunting and fetch-endurance contests, that is about it. My Golden is gentle, easy going, plays, protects and best of all-- kills mice!

    It sounds like the problem is where you live and the type of people there, not the dogs.

    Yeah, everyone says she has a sad little pouty-face! Some say that may mean she's part boxer? She's a pound-rescue, so we have no idea, and I'm not interested enough to find out via a DNA test.

    See, and I bet those eyebrows did wonderful for her self-esteem too! They get so sad when everyone thinks they are so mean and are scared of them!

    We rescued a pit that a neighbor abandoned. Sweet 1 year old girl. She has since been rehomed (we didn't have the space, unfortunately.)
    VERY smart, obedient, and STROOOOOOOONG doggie. Got a real new appreciation for the breed.

    She definitely looks part Boxer! Mine is a Boxer/Pit and her face looks just like that.

    I have a pitty. He is the biggest baby seriously. So much so most people do not believe he is. I would put an image up put I am not sure how. But I have several in my photos.

    One warning though. If left alone he will escape a locked kennel through locked doors just so he doesn't have to be alone and go to the neighbors. Luckily I have amazing neighbors who love him.

    We're not allowed them in the UK!

    I wish was there was a way of banning the bad dog owner breed.

    Here the rescue centres are full of staffies which have been briefly owned as accessories and then dumped. I am thinking of taking one as my next dog (Current dog is a rescued Spanish hunting Podenco - but I think we may have room for another little one...)
