Up to a point yes but what is a "breed?" It's a dog that arrived by selective breeding for certain traits considered "desirable." Unfortunately the "desirable" traits used to arrive at the Pit Bull were aggression, unwaivering determination, and stubborness. After all the end goal in mind when developing (originally) the breed was a dog capable of herding stubborn (semi wild) bulls and guarding from wolves and bears. In the last century that purpose devolved into dog-fighting and more recently into protecting junk yards and drug dealers.
Yes even respectable people keep them as pets but they still have those traits deeply bred in. They aren't for a rookie owner.
