There are some cities that you can't have them in, but the Vet I took him to agrees that they are excellent dogs, just like Rottweilers, but both breeds have obtained bad reputations due to assholes that abuse them and make them mean. They are pretty protective though, both Rotts and Pits. Hell, I think more Cocker Spaniels bite people than anything else, it is only stupid and insecure dogs that are people aggressive. Pits are very smart, very loyal, very affectionate dogs. I am very surprised that Dalmations haven't been rated the worse breed to have, since they are proportionately much more people agressive than Pits or Rotts. Oh well. The sad thing is that this breed will probably become extinct in our life time, and they are one of the smartest, best around children, etc.
