23. I've had six pits over the years, and four pit mixes
They've all been kind, intelligent, gentle dogs who attacked nobody, human or animal. Yet when I was a small child my grandmother's pug attacked me and left me with a lifelong scar under my eye. Gee, what does that tell you about these breeds? :shrug:

Thanks, but I'll stick with the opinion of the proffessionals, the AKC, who have rated the pit bull as one of the top family dogs for nearly a century now.
