First of all, TRUE American Pit Bull Terriers now a days are pretty are. What you might think is a pit bull is most likely a BBM, or bully breed mix, like the American Bully or anything else with XL in front of it. Blue nose, Red Nose, Gator Mouth, none of those are actual pit bulls unless you are referring to the OFRN APBT. In general, I would never own a 'pitbull' because its most likely a massive combination of random bloodlines that people do no research on, they simply are looking for the 'baddest,' or biggest dog to breed to which is why most of the time you can't distinguish females from males. This practice is quite dangerous as it creates instability in the lines, creating a dangerous dog sometimes. Take a look at the Kimbo bloodline, plenty of people still breed to Kimbo dogs which is straight ignorance. The dogs in shelters? Not pit bulls. BBMs. Would I own an APBT purchased from a reputable breeder? Absolutely. Would I ever own a BBM? Definitely not, because the fact that "its all about how you raise them," is a huge and dangerous myth.
Most of this information is very true. APBTs are hard to find. They are much like malinois but have DA. The DA is due to an extremely high level of gameness. I would personally never own an APBT just like I would never own a Malinois or WL GSD: I would not be able to handle the responsibilities of those dogs. A BBM? I would only own one from the shelter; I would never purchase one from a "breeder".
