our dog is part pit, mostly mutt, dingo looking - ghetto drug lineage...nephew found her near his firehouse in Chicago - in a box with 2 dead pups
16 years old right now - be 17 end of October
she is almost blind, crabby as a bag of cats, sore hips - but is still the gentlest dog with kids
my 2 are constantly laying down next to her - petting and pulling on her ears and play fighting with her
if you expose your dog to lots of kids and people from an early age, and they are comfortable with people
then you will have no problems, it is the dogs that are kept isolated that go nutzo, they are just protecting themselves by being naturally aggressive.
my 2 cents
