Id like to hear a solid arguement of why someone with an open mind looking for a dog should consider a pitbull versus other breeds. I understand that everyone looks for different traits in a dog based on factors such as family, kids, house and yard, types of activities, etc. But who would a pitbull be good for and why?
Id also like to ask any pitbull owners, what does a pitbull give you that another dog breed doesnt?

I can only tell you why I got a pit bull. I believe very strongly that people considering a dog should be looking to a rescue shelter or the spca. I learned that pit bulls and pit bull mixes are the most difficult to adopt out and have the highest euthanization rates compared to other breeds. This is mainly due to their portrayal in the media. I also heard that black dogs are the hardest to find homes for. Thus, my wonderful dog is a black pit bull from a rescue shelter and is the best dog anyone could hope for.
