We were taking care of a friend's female Pit last year for about 3 weeks. Her and our Border Collie (male) got along great. Played like two little kids. I was actually more worried about my Border because he's kinda protective of our yars with other dogs.
The female Basset/ Lab mix, however, set the pecking order right from the start. The Basset is the boss, and that's that. At least of the four legged residents.
I think, Pits, just as with any breed, it's how they're raised. Sounds like you'll take care of it the right way.

If I was to get a Pit I would deffinately get a healthy baby, the younger the better. As said in another post love it to death and be cautious when around kids.
I dont just say be cautious only because its a Pit but you should do that with any larger/capable animal around kids.
My inlaws own a female Pit and theyve had her since she was a baby... theyre both vets and they treat their animals like Kings/Queens, I know its said all the time but this Pit is the absolute sweetest, kindest, most loving Pitt youll ever find. I believe it has all to do with how she was raised, 100%.
Good luck.

We have two of them and they're great...very loving and not the least bit aggresive. Carissa seems to like them too plus you've seen them.

This just in from SFGATE.COM:
Also Tuesday in Contra Costa County, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to bar convicted felons from owning dogs that are aggressive or weigh more than 20 pounds.
The new ordinance, introduced by Supervisors John Gioia and Mark DeSaulnier, also would lower the threshold for declaring a dog potentially dangerous and require owners of such an animal to apply for a permit to keep their dog and abide by certain rules.
The ordinance allows the county to order owners of dogs exhibiting certain behaviors to attend obedience classes, to keep the animals in secure confines that have been inspected and to register their dogs. Felons with nonaggressive dogs weighing more than 20 pounds could apply for a permit to keep their pets.

I agree that the law suck's for responsible people who own dog's, but as an example sometimes I have seen 8-14 Year old's walking 80+ pound pit's and if these were aggresive animal's and I am walking My dog with My family on the other side of the street, there is no way that a kid is going to restrain it. Also I used to walk My dog every morning and I can't tell You how many times We almost got into trouble with pit's that got out of the yard or broke their chain? Bottom line is You have to be responsible for Your dog 24 7 and these felon's are the last one I would want to put My trust in. I have rescued 2 pit mixes and I'm not a pit hater.

Don't hate on me, that was a long time ago. I paid my debt, no need to go there.
