All the pit bull dogs we have added to our family are those who were bought as puppies, played with until the people were tired of them and/or didnt want them anymore. PUPPIES are cute, and yes they GROW UP!! That doesnt mean they nolonger want or need our love and friendship!!The way I see it, WE need thier love and security as much as they need us!! Our dogs are family,they are funny, friendly, playful,& loving, Inside and out - all around good dogs!!!!
