Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, etc. are ALL classified as Pit Bulls now.
It breaks my heart they way they have vilified an entire breed because of stupid humans.
Sorry, but have you ever seen what they can do to a child? I have. Some dogs are not safe with children regardless of what their owners think. My uncles 9 year old Great Dane that wouldn't hurt anyone kill his granddaughter. A min pin isn't going to cripple a child for life, much less kill it. I am sure that most of them are great dogs, but you can never be sure. Homeowners insurance doubles if you own one. This is not arbitrary, but based on statistics. This is why even though I said I would trust this one with a baby I would never take that chance. When our granddaughter was here a few months ago she wanted to meet WillyDog. We have a duplex, so we kept him on one side. Willy liked to jump on people and was an accident waiting to happen. When our daughters visit next time, I'll let them meet and play with Bullet, as they usually come alone. Ron, my twin brother says exactly what you said. I take dog ownership seriously. Bullet is our baby, no one else's

Any dog is capable of inflicting mayhem without warning. It is prudent to always take that into consideration when children are part of the equation.
Am I always consistent in that regard?
Probably not, but I am always within hearing distance of my granddaughter as she frolics with My American bulldog.
Common sense protection for the vulnerable, be it from two legged or four legged creatures.

Bullet is a little more relaxed of a doggie. He is absolutely wonderful. He was very cautious, treading slowly around the house. Now he expects love and attention. He takes good care of his toys and only had one accident. Mommy took a walk and he waited by the door for her. She had not left the house since we had him. When she came home he got excited and peed on the floor. We have tile for a reason. Dogs are more important than warm feet. I looked to see if I posted this. He stole a piece of chicken last week. Xuan scolded him, not even too seriously. Her voice is not loud. He went to a corner and stuck his head down. I wanted to cry. I already knew this dog had been thrown in the woods a few times, but it appears he had it rough. Anyway, we love him very much.

Good on y'all giving this guy a chance. He sounds like he'd come through in a pinch when it counts.
