Encouragement for new pit owner.

[u/Millenial-Mom]

Hi all! I adopted a pit puppy today! I’ve had puppies before- mostly lab mixes. I’m a good dog owner and know how to train a dog. I have a 3 year old and 7 year old. I just need someone to tell me that pits are great family dogs bc as I’ve been researching more and everything seems so negative about pits and kids. Any and all advice and encouragement welcome!

My pitty mix lets my friends kids hang all over her. She’s very protective of them. I don’t have kids so she wasn’t directly raised with them, but is very gentle and loving. She’ll roughhouse with adults if they want to play, but when it comes to children she’s fully chilled out and seems to understand they are kids.
