real question- how are these guys to keep? I read mixed experiences with them, and have considered one when I get a dog at some point.

Fantastic if you treat them right but I guess that's the same for any dog.
thanks for the answers. I was leaning towards what you guys said... not sure why I was downvoted for inquiring real-world owners, though.
They’re bully breeds and people will always downvote anybody who likes or owns bully breeds. :(
They are rambunctious and silly. Great guard dogs. I could jog @ nite & no one could get near me w/o a snarl. Also had to be leashed though.
Rambunctious and silly I’ll agree with, snarling is something I’ve never seen from them towards humans and I own and work with them.
Though I agree they are good guard dogs, just because people are ignorant and scared of them haha
It was likely the temperament of the individual dog. He was incredibly protective of me. I think their faces (adorable IMO) scare people.
Yeah people think they look mean, people also think they are pitbulls constantly, which I have no problem with but it just shows how >
Ignorant folks are to hate on pitbulls but not even know what is and isn’t a pitbull
