Every single pitbull I've met has been nothing but loving and kind. I understand the context about people who don't like them as they've probably seen things in the media about how pitbulls act, or something in a similar nature. I would believe that the media is just trying to get you scared, as I remember one time with a different story about a city I live nearby to, and how I said I was scared to go into the city due to the gun violence, when one of the people who live in the city said that they live in the hood, and have no trouble getting to where they need to go, which personally made me feel a lot better. That's what I currently believe this situation is like. I do understand that this may not change some opinions with some people, just think about it, please.

Those aren't actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.

I like pitbulls and don't know if this is bait (perhaps you didn't realize the obvious response you'd get?) but this post should be removed either way.

Worst comment section I've ever seen in this community

I just want to say op, you have two great looking pups! I can guarantee Teddy is the best cuddler.

Statistics by definition is presenting empirical data and that's what most people think of when they hear statistics. Most scientists studying statistics actually spend much more of their time developing and studying methods of data collection rather than crunching numbers. The reason for this is you cannot have meaning statistics if the data set is not accurate. And I love you all and your experiences matter but they bear no scientific weight.

4 out of 5 dentists agree that every time you see a static it's complete and total bullshit. Flawed data collection leads to flawed results which leads to flawed conclusions. But people sure do get excited when numbers validate their biases.

This is by far the worst thread I've seen on this site. Go back to Reddit, y'all.

Wow, lots of people with strong feelings whose version of "I did my research!" is remembering what stories the newspapers wrote because they knew it would spark outrage and attract eyeballs, and hearsay on friend-of-a-friend stories.

So called "bully breeds" are the best dogs I've ever met. I fucking love cuddling with those meatheads. Cane Corsos, Dobermans, and Rottweilers are amazing, loyal, and loving, too.

I've been bitten and needed stitches from both a Chihuahua and a Poodle. My daughter was bit by a absolute shit of a Bichon, and my ex was bit by a Husky when she was a kid. Fuck those dogs we should outlaw and euthanize them all, right breed-banners? Or maybe it does indeed have to do a LOT with nurture, and very little with nature? (or in the case of my ex (according to her Mom) because she wouldn't stop harassing the dog).

However, I've met some nice poodles and chihuahuas and huskies too (not bichons though, little assholes), but I'm not so fucking dumb and shallow as to say we need to outlaw them all, just that owners should absolutely be responsible and liable for their pets' behaviour.

PS - OP your dogs are cute as hell. Look at those smiles!
