I was really surprised to see this and see it highlighted under What to Expect:
i will go back and delete my post. i was just trying to post some info dealing with the intellegence of the breed.
The Pit Bull is a dog that is mentally sound. They do not snap, contrary to popular belief, and they have a reason or goal for every one of their actions.
They are also incredibly smart. In fact, the highest obedience trial record of all time is held by an APBT named "Maddy". This wonderful trait makes them a pleasure to live with, because you can literally teach them to do just about anything.
This is also beneficial to those in need, as Pit Bulls make great service dogs. The DEA and various other law enforcement agencies are beginning to appreciate the intelligence of this breed and are starting to use them in lieu of German Shepherds
One down side to their intelligence, however, is that they can be stubborn and hard to break of bad habits they may learn. If they don't think you're doing something the way it should be done, they'll refuse to follow you and will do it their own way. Because of this, they require an owner who is willing to dedicate a lot of time to their training. But, the end result is a simply incredible companion that will make you proud for life.
