The propblem with Pits, Rotts and all those big jawed dogs is if they snap the can do a lot of damage.. If you screw them up, look out.. If you train them good and they wren't bred poorly than you gotta a good dog.. Best kid dog I have seen, besides these Anatolians was a Bull Mastiff... Gosh was he gentle with "his" kids. I love Rotts and Bullmastiffs, I am a big dog kind of person but I also know that those dogs are awful powefull.. We will be getting a Rott or a Bull Mastiff once the kids are a bit older and well, to be even more honest, once I dont have 8 dogs anymore...
The only dog that has ever bit and bit me again was a stinking toy poodle.. Nastiest attitude ever.. Actually, I think most of those little dogs have nasty attitudes but the damage a 8 pound dog can do vs a 80 pound dog is well, miniscule..
