Umm.. Your history is a little off on the breed of the American Pitbull
Terrier. They where bred to fight other dogs not to attack humans. Back in the
day when sick bastards ( People who fought dogs for sport and money ) would do
"Pit Fighting" there was a pit dug the place a referee the owner of each dog
into the pit. ( Ok we have three grown men and 2 dogs in a confined space )
If the dog attacked its owner or any other man it was shot on the spot no
questions asked.. That is a trait they could not afford and did not want in
the gene pool.

I love this breed for its qualities:
	Will go out of its way to please. ( dog is all heart )
	Very Faithful and obedient.
	High Endurance.
