A pit will get along great with it's own dog family members. Mine shares her food bowl with my two long coated chihuahuas.....but no strange dog better step foot on this place or she will get pretty upset about it. Especially if it's another female dog.
I've met a few that aren't, usually it's same sex aggression though. I would even deal with crate and rotate if I had to, if problems developed later. I would prefer to rescue one and I know that there are some that are good with dogs. Just leery of rescuing after our GSD female disaster.
Still healing from the heart-break I guess.
32bantam, eating is a good way to cull edible livestock if you are breeding for show quality. For dogs, you spay/neuter and place them in pet homes. I'm sure that there are some chicken breeders who sell as "pets" or backyard birds their non-show stock. But no reason not to eat it if they desire that as well.
There was a time when non-standard pups were killed at birth. Thankfully that isn't the case today, though I'm sure that someone somewhere still handles the "embarrassment" in that manner.
