Pit's used to be the ultimate Nanny dog. My pit mix is absurdly controlled, and knows to not open his mouth with my nephew, and knows he can bite down a little when roughhousing with me.
They get a bad rap.
True, though that's also true for most large breed dogs. I'm of the mindset that people should roughhouse with their dogs, so they dogs get how to play. Nothing is worse than a family dog who doesn't know how to play, and ends up accidentally knocking little kids down or something. Just play with the puppy, and they will know how to play appropriately on down the road.
Right. He stops almost instantaneously when some says "Ow!" Or makes some noise like that to indicate that what he did hurt. It's nice knowing I don't have to worry about him with kids though. I see a lot of people who aren't that lucky and have to hover over the dog constantly
People don't trust me when I say, "Sure, the kids can take him outside to play. He loves to play!" and don't make a move to go outside with him. The bastard is better with kids than I am!

That pitbull has ridiculous self control.
