Daddy is an adorable Pit. He is so calm and gentle...However, we need to remember that any breed can be horrific if the owner is not prepared or knowledgable. My family had a maltese when I was younger, Snowball-she was the most neurotic dog, come to find out she had White Dog Shaker Syndrome after her death, poor thing, anyway I had friends with two Maltese who were MEAN! My dog, although neurotic, was super sweet. I have met nasty pit bulls, and silly kissy pit bulls. And although, it hurts me to admit it, I am very wary around GSDs, I have met gentle ones of those as well. I think it really boils down to, how knowledgable are the owners. People who coddle their Chihuahuas end up with terrors, others who rescue vicious dogs work their magic and end up with marvelous dogs. Know your "stuff" and you'll have little problems with any breed regardless of cruddy breeding habits and personality traits. But hey, this is just my two cents!
