Very well put, Steve.  A hunting partner of mine (actually you've met Randy) has never bought one either.  Basically they work or they don't.  The training involved with all pits I've been around wasn't how or when to catch..they just did that, but rather how to walk on a lead, be quiet in the box and such.

I picked up a good looking white female pit off the side of the road about two weeks ago.  It appeared she was a drifter...a little scarred up and the pads were worn off her feet.  Seemed like a friendly dog, so I called and asked Randy if he wanted her.  I took her out there later that day, walked her up to the baypen and she got all worked up just standing there watching the hogs without even a dog barking.  Turned her in, and she hit like a train.  We had to break her off, and let her catch about three more times each time hitting hard and holding.  He was tickled to have her, and she might make a good one.
