BUT,

I had a sweet little pitbull mix for several months. Things went well. She was just the best dog imaginable; and then my black lab started having seizures, went on phenobarbitol, and the pit mix started attacking her. It was so scary. She was so strong, and determined. It took two of us to pull her off of the poor lab, so she had to go back to the shelter she had come from.

I firmly believe that any dog can be unpredictable, and can bite. The difference is that when a dog is as strong as the bully breeds, you need to have someone in charge who knows how to handle a bad situation, and who is strong enough to do it.
