easygoing as any lab or golden. The other two friends have a male that scares the hell out of me. They love him to bits, but there are things that they say that they "don't understand" about him. If you reach into any container or drawer in front of him he'll growl or "air chomp" at your hands or face. I started to give one of his owners a shoulder rub and he growled and looked as if he were about to attack. I can't pet him without getting snapped at. I've known these people for decades and have bonded with every dog they've ever had in no time, but not this pitbull. He's very scary and I worry about them.
