Point being anyone that says the breed is "too rough" probably shouldn't own one. Any dog could be too aggressive. Pitts have a ton of energy, mine will be at the beach in the water for 5-6 hours and come home and want to still play catch and run around. If you know what you're doing they'll be the greatest dog you've ever owned and are as capable as being as social/behaved as any other dog.

My stepfather's pit bulls were rescues. They had been very poorly socialized before he got them. They were a brother and sister. The sister was the runt of the litter, way too small at birth and scrawny her whole life. She was probably my favorite dog ever, including the dogs I grew up with. Her brother was chill as hell around people but got hyper-defensive of her around other dogs. That's what led to the issues.
However, like I said, I've known several people who had issues —fat wifemostly minor ones — where the pits would try to play with smaller dogs and accidentally fuck them up a little.
