[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1308762, member: 7488"] And to a pit that is bred and trained to fight (meaning the fight/prey drive is high, but attacking humans and handlers is not acceptable), unfortunately a child will look more like a target than a human. I imagine Rufus, who didn't like other dogs, confused the pool child with another dog or small animal. This is not dissing the breed, but it is the type of thing to consider when owning a dog, especially one as effective at what is does as a pit bull. I have an old and grumpy 30 pound mini-pin / full size dachshund mix, and I certainly keep him away from strangers and kids. He's not offensively aggressive per se, but defensive as if you reach at him to pet him or whatever. [/QUOTE]
