I have owned a Collie, Springer Spaniel, two English Bulldogs, a Boston Terrier, and a Labrador Retriever in my 73 years. The BEST dogs I have ever owned was a Pitbull given to us by a woman who could not handle a young pet as well as a newborn child and we rescued a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from a prisoner rebab program in Kentucky that was closing and getting rid of personnel as well as prisoner therapy dogs. I will always own a Pitbull or bull terrier from now on. Absolutely the most fun, intelligent and obedient dogs (early training and discipline is a must) I have ever owned. --Mike
