Any dog will be a good family pet if you put in the time and energy to socialise it and train it. All dogs like exercise.

They make good pets, but they require a great deal of care everyday. Also they do seem to have more medical issues then other breeds I have had. As far as exercise you need to watch out in warm weather they do not like the heat and get heat stroke quickly. Short walks and play time with rest in between is fine. They are not dumb like some people think. They are very smart but have a mind of their own at times. I can not imagine my house without my bulldog in it.

Bulldogs are great family pets! They are great with children and are very good companion dogs! They do have a mind of their own though. A lot of people think they are stupid or lazy, but really, they are not. Bulldogs like to exercise, but just make sure that when you do exercise them it is not to hot because they have very pushed in noses which makes breathing very difficult on a hot day.

There are many urban legends surrounding the pit bull, mostly based on the idea that the dogs are somehow physiologically different from other breeds of dog.
A Pit Bull's jaw.
Many sources propagate the myth that pit bulls have a "locking jaw" mechanism, and that the dog cannot let go once it has bitten. This is untrue. Dr. I. Brisbin of the University of Georgia states:
Positive press
Although negative information about pit bulls is widespread and, when a negative news story occurs, highly publicized, there are also many positive stories. Some work in hospitals and care facilities as certified therapy dogs, many are well-loved family pets, and some have even saved people's lives. There are many incidences of pit bulls being productively employed by U.S. Customs , as police K9s.
Often pit bulls have been reported to "adopt" other species of animals (such as kittens or squirrels), earning the breed the nickname "nanny dog".
A rescued pit bull called Popsicle is a United States Customs dog, and is famous for sniffing out one of the biggest cocaine busts in history.
In February, 2006, New Yorker magazine writer Malcolm Gladwell published an article surveying the research on pit bulls which concluded that legal attempts to ban the breed were both crude and unnecessary.
In February 2007 a pit bull named "Chief" rescued his family of humans from a spitting cobra by dashing in front of the attacking snake and taking the deadly bite himself. Chief subdued the snake but died of the venom 30 minutes later.
In April 2007, columnist John Canzano of The Oregonian newspaper wrote a favorable piece on Hollywood, the pit bull that formerly belonged to NBA player Qyntel Woods. Hollywood, renamed Stella, was adopted by a loving owner and reformed from a fighting dog to a lap dog.
News reports of injuries and fatal attacks
News media stories of pit bull attacks involving disfiguring injury to humans and other animals, the latter very often also fatally, ranging in size from smaller nonpitbull dogs to horses can be found globally. The pit bulls involved were not always loose and off the owner's property, but sometimes were inside the home of the owner, who, or a family member or visitor, was the victim of the aggression. Fatal pit bull attacks to children and adults have been reported by the English-language news media in the United States and United kingdom.
