I have two American Staffordshire Terriers, the showdog version of a pitbull. The sweetest most people friendly dogs I have ever been around. They love affection, show it to everyone, lick the crap out of you, bounce all around and follow me anytime I move around the house. They definitely aim to please their owners and kids
They are high energy, need room to move, think they can chase down any moving small animals. Rabbits, squirrels and raccoons drive them insane, and they have been known to follow the deer in the backyard if I don't see them before I let them out. Sometimes I think they even chase ghosts.
Keep in mind, the pitbull breeds were bred originally for taking down large game and can be animal aggressive by nature. Mine get along great with each other, and most other dogs, but it depends on their original meeting with other dogs. When introducing them to other animals you need to be sure to keep a close eye on them and they shouldn't show any signs of aggression.
Here is a couple pictures of Maui (8 year old blue brindle female) and Macho (4 year old black and white male). They are actually aunt and nephew, Macho is Maui's sister's puppy.
They come from Shonuff Am Staffs, they are show dog breeders. Maui is retired and Mach never showed because of allergies.
