I have two pit bulls. a red nosed female and my pride and joy my blue male that is a direct son of "west sides" Notorious Juan Gotti. (those that have pits know what i'm talking about) With me I dont think it is the bb thing I had em growing up as a kid, my parents had them and I would never own another breed. Dont get me wrong I love all dogs but to me pits are the smart, loyal and protective despite the bad rap.
