I am a fan of larger dogs. I can't fathom having a yapper. I have had Dalmatians, Greyhounds, Labs and now a Great Dane (holy **** - he is stupid huge!).
I have no use for, nor want any of my family around pit bulls (or their mixes). I get they can be great dogs and I get they were a once proud breed, but most of the blood lines now were bred for fighting and their instincts are not good. It is a risk I am not willing to take (he was a great dog...right up until he killed my daughter!). Turns out good owners have also had them turn on them or their families. Not willing to blame the dog - but the folks that have bred them have not done so responsibly for many years in the past and it isn't something I would risk with my family.
