Cane corso is a great breed, but you need to really know big working breeds. Foster for a while to find out if that is for you. Also, if this dog has a rough past, let somebody with experience adopt him.
I told her no. He wasn't the right dog for our situation.

Nope.

It depends on what kind of pittie . A relative has a small female with the personality of a lab. I would love a dog like that. A lot of them are athletic dogs, built for play with matching personalities. People confuse Staffies, etc with the small pittie.

Pits = small, family dogs.

I would be cautious, VERY cautious, about where I picked up a pit pup. If the breeders in Bumphukt TN are liable to be asswipes, I can only imagine what kind of dogs are being bred in the yankee enclaves.

Your dad instincts might be in overdrive here. I used to be like that too. No fucking way I'd let a pit bull near my kids. But then I realized all these little dogs I have liked were the dreaded pit bull.

There is no breed standard. It totally depends upon breeding and whether yoilu get them at 8 weeks to socialize them.

Oh I agree; my point is to be cautious about what kind of breeder one might buy a pup from. It's the humans I'm more worried about. There are some insane fuckers around breeding and selling pups, of all kinds. But especially pits, from my experience.

Never had a puppy. All our dogs were adult rescues and mostly mutts.

Who was it that said something about pups being some kind of eternal return in dealing with our mortality? And of a different type from our own children? I know I read that, but it may be so obscure that it is totally unknown (or maybe I just dreamed about it). Anyway, you get the sentiment.

I've never heard that and you need to explain it to me. I'm not thinking well today.
