She was real skiddish around people and animals for the first couple years of ownership, but ever since then, she's been nothing but great. Wakes us up if people are prowling around outside, barks when there's noises, wakes us if she needs to go out in the middle of the night, and is an absolute sweetheart. She snapped at us once, and was punished accordingly, and has never done it again. Great dog, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Pit or Pit mix.
