I agree, I have 2 now and have had 5 throughout my life. They are great dogs, very loyal, smart, and fun. They are not for everyone though. You have to be a responsible owner. (Not chaining it up, not giving it attention, and not keeping it in your yard.) But if you have the time, patientence and responsibility then they are awesome! You will also experience the sterotypes. When I got my first one my parents were like "Oh my God!", but 10 years later they adopted a 1 year old female which they adore. There are so many pitbulls that people end up giving up I would look at the pound or humane society or the newspaper looking for people giving them away.
