Don't get a pit. They are too unpredictable. They may get along good w/their owners but the last thing you need is someone else's child being attacked. They are illegal to own in the county I live in, and there is a reson for that. They can be brutal. There are so many other great breeds out there; do yourself a favor and everybody else in your neighborhood and get another breed.
Damn I hate it when people speak when they don't know shit. Here is a link to my webpage I made about pits (ok, its not the best but it was my first one and it was done for a school project). It has the latest stats I could find.......
The average starting price is $500 for a decent bloodline. Read up on this breed first so you know what to look for. I've had as many as 3 at one time and will never own another breed.
Cool, bro. I love my Rotts, but I have nothing against pits and think they are pretty cool dogs. I'm not sure my wife would ever let me get one, but oh well.
