I just recently adopted a pit/boxer mix male, about 2 years old.
He is the best dog! He loves to go for car rides, walks, loves to be petted and spoiled. He is so mild mannered and laid back.
He is very people friendly, so he has been socialized before we got him.
The only trouble we have had is he is able to jump over 6ft chain link fence. The last time he got out, we found him surrounded by 5 young children, 7-9yrs old. He was just laying there soaking up all of the attention.
I have always heard bad things about pits, but my neighbor has 2 of them and they act like little kids. So, that helped me change my mind about them.
I also read that pits love their people. As with all dogs, they need to be around other dogs and people so they are not too protective. Yes, some are animal aggressive, but that is because they were brought up that way.
Obviously, my dog was well socialized and for that we are thankful.
Good luck!
