They're a difficult dog for owners, because they're unconditionally loyal to their owner and they're very territorial dogs.

But there are a lot of really difficult breeds out there that people need to be really careful about buying.

One of the best dogs that I ever had growing up was a pure breed Rhodesian Ridge back.

They were basically used to corner lions. They're fearless, they're incredibly fast and strong and they're smart. They're natural born 90 pound fearless take no sh%t escape artists as well.

They're very loyal, but they need constant play and activity, they're very smart, and they can either be needy one minute or very aloof the next. They're almost too good with kids to the fact that they see their job as a kamikaze body guard for young children. (once when my dad threatened to throw me in the pool, that Ridge back came out of nowhere and hit a 90 mile a hour cross body on the old man into the pool and gave him the dog look of don't touch master.

The point of this is, if a Pittbull who is loyal, is shown early that his master is the pack leader, and if that master is calm and gentle but firm, the dog will emulate that behavior. But Pittbulls are like emotional sponges, if they feel tension from their master, its trouble, that dog gets emotionally ramped up and worried and scared and angry just like his master.
