"Now, let’s examine two—unfortunately not uncommon—bad reasons for wanting a pit bull: “I need an intimidating dog to guard my property.”
“I’m a tough guy and I want a tough dog who won’t take crap from anyone.” While pit bulls may indeed intimidate people (something those of us who love the breed are working hard to change), they do not make great guard dogs. The typical American Pit Bull Terrier is so fond of humans, he’s likely to greet an intruder as a potential new friend! Moreover, pit bulls crave human interaction and will be miserable if banished to the yard and ignored."
