A family is bringing over their female Pit this Sunday. She is a year old. I have a 2 year old son, and a 2 year old husky/retriever/shepherd mix, and naturally, I'm catching a lot of flack for even thinking about it.

Curious to see if anyone here has one or had one, and your experience.

I'm going to see how she interacts with my dog(he's very playful), and I'm also going to test her to see if she is food aggressive at all. My son will dig into my dogs food bowl while he's eating, and the dog will eat around him, or just step back and let him play lol, so that will be a big factor.
 
I have a pit.....biggest baby on earth....let my toddler sit in his cage and generally do whatever he wants....he just licks the crap out of him till he leaves him alone
 
My Uncles ex wife had a nephew who was killed by the family Pit. Of course, I have no clue how they raised the dog.

I would keep your 2 year old and dog away from the Pitbull! I have nothing against them I owned one many years ago. However, they can be unpredictable and IF it just happens to bite you can start the funeral arrangements for your 2 year old and/or your dog. Pits have killer instincts, and if they feel any bit threatened they go straight for the face/neck, and they also have a lock jaw, scary shit.
 
Man, you and heavy always know how to scare a guy lol
 
I am not anti pit but I have a 6 year old daughter and I myself would be nervous. Like others said its how they are raised. A long time ago my girlfriend kept some horses at the Traitzs property(people in Phila will probally know the name,they were union roofers that got caught up in some nasty shit) Well, they bred them and the main stud got loose and attacked a blind pony by the throat,then jumped on a parked car in driveway and destroyed a cat. My girl was nuts trying to get her horses in the barn. Well the neighbor heard the commotion and blasted it 2 times with shotgun before it went down.
I actually have neighbors that have one that just had puppues. The puppies are just like any other but the mother has always had to be kept on short leash. The fucking thing is nasty and i wouldnt trust it. The owner says "she just gets funny around men". WTF does that mean?

I wouldnt even let a golden retriever near a 2 year old. Kids are unpredictable as well. One swift move and the dog could get spooked. At 2 years old, even a minor snap could be disfiguring.
 
I wouldn't chance it, even if it's less than 1%.

benj, just reread your post. your kid gets in the dog bowl? IDK man. Prince is right,things can go wrong real fast. Between your dog and a kid that likes to play in a food bowl.....seems like perfect storm.Why even put anyone in that position. I would say no way.

So I guess I should put my current dog down.
My son hits him, pulls on his ears, stands on his head, bounces on him, plays in his food, goes in the cage with the dog, and the dog just sits there and lets him do it.

When someone tries to play with my son, my dog is right there, getting in the middle of it, or making sure they don't do anything wrong.

I think it's all about how you raise the dog. That was my main concern with this one, I didn't get to raise it from when it was a pup, so its not molded to fit our family. I'm definitely reconsidering, and will probably tell them no thanks.
 
Dogs have a pack mentality. The pitbull could attack the baby just to put it in its 'place'. I don't have children yet but I'd never leave my baby around an animal.
 
Thanks for the input, boys. You assholes always know how to set me straight!
 
I knew in the back of my mind that I was going to change my mind, but I just needed some AG reassurance lol

was your dog a puppy and raised with your child? that makes a HUGE difference.

yup.
 
I have a huge pit he lives with my wifes 2 yorkies never had a problem. I have a 2 year old nephew that constantly tries to get on him. I would never worry about mine. but all dogs are diffrent no matter the breed. that being said i would never let a dog around a baby that someone else has raised
 
Especially if ben was the owner.

Could you fucking imagine? Ben all trenned out screaming in the house, that dog would be a wreck. :shake:

Yeah. He was just about 6 months old when our son was born.
I already told the wife that we will check out a pup this weekend, and if it doesn't happen, we'll just wait. I'm in no rush.
 
Prince and Heavy are like the uncles that I fucking hate, but they always give good advices.
