My daughter says she is very good with the children, doesn't bark or jump on people when they come in the house, is lovable and cuddles, etc.
I know Rachel Ray has a pitbull and talks about how the dogs have gotten a bad rap but I still don't feel real comfortable about this.
Do you think I have reason to worry.
Both my daughter and son have pit bulls. I was not comfortable at all with them aqt firs. But, I have to say they are both the sweetest dogs I've ever seen, next to my two German Sheperds of course, they are good with my grandkids and very friendly. They both get along with my dogs and are even put in their place by them. My daughter'ss is still a puppy and get too excited at times and my dogs make him behave. I am still concerned about them getting in fights because of their reputation of not letting so when the grab hold. But, I don't really worry to much about their bad rap any more. It is all in the way they are raised.
