Scott, I think we agree on almost everything. I do agree that a dog aggressive pit can make a good companion, but i don't see the point. If someone wants to run a pack of hunting dogs, why keep him around, and why take a chance on giving him to someone who may or may not be able to handle him.
As you implied, most "incidents" involving a pit happen because of the owner and not the dog. They need close supervision.
Neither of us have actually seen the dog, it may be a disciplinary problem, and not genetics at all. If it's lack of discipline, it has already been allowed to start and will be difficult to stop. If it's in his genes to fight, that type of pit needs to be eradicated, or there will eventually be a federal ban against them.
The dog in question is actually in South Africa, and I don't care if pits are illegal in South Africa, so this debate is somewhat of a moot point anyway.

10-4, just having a discussion. I never disputed the fact regarding dog aggression in the woods. I was only pointing out that the dog aggression is a by product of the process that made the breed so great.
I can see your point of view regarding wanting to eliminate the dog aggression. My point is that simply too many folks own them and breed them and don't have the first clue as to what they are doing in regards to being a steward of the breed.
