Subject: What kinda dog is this puppy?
This is just my experience, but we are on our third pit mix puppy from a rescue. Our last only guy lived to be 13 and was a sweet old boy. Our other gal is 8. The new puppy is 4 months.
I think it depends on what the mix is with and the dog’s upbringing.
Yes, we have kids.
I can’t stress how friendly and sweet my own dogs have been. One was attacked by a West Highland Terrier. Both of our dogs were on leash. The Westie walked by and sniffed my dog and then jumped on its face and bit an ear. It drew blood. Even after being bitten my dog just stood there, looking confused. It did not even growl in return.
As I write my older mix is lazing on the sofa and my little girl is snuggled on my DS’s lap, asleep.

I agree with the vet.
Give the puppy back. There are non-pit puppies out there, at shelters and rescues. You just have to look for them.
My kid will be hurt broken. I am pretty sure this is a full blood red nose pit. Still hate DC.
DC doesn’t disallow pits. Montgomery county does

I have a pit bull mix and it doesn’t have an aggressive bone in its body. “ Racism is the pits “.

Nearly EVERY rescue pit bull is renamed something that is more Adoptable! Geez it’s so obvious what they are .

I saw a part pit attack a kid at a dog park and it was awful. As the child was carried off in an ambulance, the owner sat there dumbfounded swearing it was a gentle, sweet dog who had never been aggressive.
Sounds like the white liberal transplants who don't know better that this area is full of.

What happened to the OP? Did you re-home the dog or keep it?

Our mutt is part Staffy - confirmed via DNA tests. She is the sweetest thing you would ever want to meet.

Pits are the sweetest, most loveable cuddle bugs - up until they bite.
We've had ours for 9 years, not even a growl. She might lick you to death. She is probably the least aggressive dog that I've ever met and I mean that quite sincerely. My Golden is much more of aw watchdog than she is - seriously.
We got her as a young puppy and socialized her carefully with kids, making sure that she wasn't overly rambunctious with them and vice versa. She doesn't much care for cats but I'm sure that if we had made the effort to socialize her with cats she'd be fine with them, too.
This is what every owner of a pit bull who mauls a child says, up until the minute their dog mutilates a child.
The dog needs to go back. Can you imagine how terrible you will feel if your child ends up blind, scarred, or missing a body part because of this dog?
Yes I can imagine. Every night my kid cries when the dog bites and wont let go. These are just puppy teeth. We give him ice, and do rope tugs, and ball toss. -OP
Aggh! Train your dog and your kid.
I guess you would know what to do since you are the female version.
Yes. It is totally bitchy to suggest training a puppy. Unrealistic expectations kill a lot of dogs and maim a lot of kids, so carry on.

Take it back to the group you adopted it from. They will regome it to someone who wants a dog. Don't get another one.

NP. I was attacked by a neighbor’s German Shepherd when I was 2 (stitches all over by face and eyelids so not just a bite.)So I’ve always been careful with our pets around kids but I know any breed can bite. It’s good that this dog is a puppy and can be properly socialized. My 13 year old pitbull was the sweetest dog we’ve ever had and was around toddlers, babies, cats , and even rabbits and guinea pigs his whole life. He went into renal failure and died this past December. The kids still cry for him several times a week. We now have a 12 week old pitbull puppy that is learning very fast and has most commands down already. These dogs are loving , intelligent , and want to please their owners. This is why when they get into the wrong hands they can be trained to fight because they are very loyal to their owners. In a normal home this means they can be quickly trained to be a great companion. They need socialization with people and dogs, tons of exercise and play(most aggression comes from not getting enough stimulation or exercise.)
