It all depends on their background. When we got ours we picked on that had been raised in a daycare since birth as both of his parents had as well. When born into a good situation and raised correctly they can be the best dogs. While we had our Dozer we also had a three year old and a newborn, two cats, and a pekingese. Dozer never so much as growled at the kids where my little dog continually bit my kids. I would highly recommend this breed only to those who know how to handle and raise the breed as well as only from the right kind of parents.

It depends on the breeding and the training for some and then others well I'm not gonna get into that. My mom's pitbull was so good to us kids, but one day when we weren't home the pitbull randomly out of no where attacked my mom's prize winning doberman. We came home to a bloody house covered in dog remains. It was weird the dog had never shown any signs of aggression before that. My mom since then has learned to hate them.

It really depends on the breeding stock. I have known pits that I would trust around my babies and others that I wouldn't have on the same street. At the pound in my county, they won't let you adopt any dogs that come in that have pit bull in them--if they suspect that puppies have pit in them, they put them down.
I had a pit live next to me that was very sweet--until it saw a cat. He would go crazy for cats and had killed several. But when he would see my daughter (who was under 2 at the time) in the yard, he would stand in between her and the gate to make sure she wouldn't get out.
Alot of people consider pits to be unpredictable. But make sure they don't come from fighting breeding stock and give them good training.

I would get a puppy and then raise it around children that way they have not been teased by children or abused by anyone I would also check out the breeder and ask a lot of questions

From rumors I have heard, pit bulls are aggressive animals, and I would not recommend one, especially if there are kids around..

a lot depends on the background, parents, and especially the training the dog receives. Having said this. I would never take a chance on having a pit bull around MY Child. I have heard and seen so many stories about pitbulls who were gentle as a lamb, had been around children all their life, and suddenly go off and kills a child, or severely damages him/her.

My grandson loves pit bulls but NEVER would i allow one to be around adults in my family let alone around little kids. I don't care if they are from a 'good breed of stock' or not. They scare me to pieces.

Pit bulls can be good with kids if they are loved and raised with kids with love if they are taught to be mean then that is all they are going to know if you raise them around kids from a early age on up then yes they will be loving to kids like any other dog but a pit bull is a protector they protect theres and they may be good with your kids but then you have to watch them around kids that you don't know

I work at a vet clinic where we see a lot of pits. Some very aggressive, more than a few extremely loving. I had a pit at one time and he was a truly wonderful dog, and i saw my two year old nephew jump on him like a trampoline. I also know a kid at my church who had to be hospitalized after a pit attacked them. They are a powerful dog, not for the faint of heart. Lazy people should not consider this breed as an option. People will make things harder for you out of fear and ignorance, and you as an owner will have to e above reproach with your pet. People are always watching and waiting to see what this "monster" of yours will do. These dogs require diligent exercise, tons of socialization, and even more discipline and love. I have heard horror stories and fairy tales, but at some point i realized that all of these things are somewhere, loosely based in truth. The pitbull is a dog, and i believe all dogs deserve a chance to be loved. Anytime you bring an animal into your home with children, or even your other pets, you run the risk that it is not a good match. So, are pits good with kids? Are golden retrievers good with kids? I was bit by a big one. Why don't we have this conversation about more breeds than just pits?
